Project Overview

A substantial property extension in the picturesque village of Bovingdon required a complete glazing solution to bring the new open-plan living space to life. The homeowners wanted a striking yet cohesive design that would maximise natural light and provide a seamless connection to the garden. The goal was to install an aluminium sliding door in a bold grey finish to serve as the extension’s centrepiece, paired with matching white aluminium windows to create a bright, modern, and energy-efficient living environment.

Our Solution

We supplied and installed a bespoke aluminium sliding door and window system tailored to the new extension. The combination of a grey sliding door and white windows creates a stylish contrast that enhances the property’s contemporary aesthetic while maintaining a cohesive overall design.

The solution included:

Aluminium Sliding Door (Grey):

  • High-performance aluminium sliding door system with slim-profile frames
  • Multi-panel configuration (customised to the opening) for maximum garden views
  • Powder-coated finish in grey (RAL 7016) for a bold, modern statement
  • Thermally broken profiles to prevent heat loss, eliminate condensation, and exceed building regulations
  • Concealed stainless steel roller system for smooth, quiet operation
  • Multi-point locking system with high-security handles
  • Low-threshold track for step-free garden access
  • Drop-down weather seals for superior draught protection

Aluminium Windows (White):

  • Matching aluminium casement windows in white (RAL 9010) flanking the sliding door
  • Slim-profile frames for clean sightlines and a cohesive aesthetic
  • Thermally broken profiles for energy efficiency and condensation control
  • Double-glazed units with low-E coating and argon gas fill throughout
  • Side-hung casement openings with concealed friction hinges
  • Multi-point locking systems for enhanced security
  • Matching white handles and hardware for a unified finish

Installation Process

  • Conducted a detailed site survey with precision laser measurement of all openings in the new extension
  • Coordinated with the extension build schedule to ensure timely installation
  • Removed temporary boarding and prepared all structural openings
  • Installed steel reinforcement lintels where required for larger spans
  • Lifted the grey aluminium sliding door frame into position using precision packers
  • Lifted the white aluminium window frames into position alongside the door
  • Mechanically fixed all frames to the new masonry and timber studwork ensuring zero movement
  • Fitted the fixed glazed panel into the sliding door frame
  • Hung the sliding door panels onto the roller mechanism
  • Adjusted rollers for smooth, effortless sliding operation
  • Fitted double-glazed sealed units into the sliding door and all windows
  • Installed multi-point locking mechanisms on all elements and tested every lock
  • Spray-foamed all perimeter gaps with high-expansion insulation foam
  • Applied internal and external silicone seals for airtight, watertight finish
  • Adjusted all handles, hinges, and locking mechanisms for smooth operation
  • Completed thorough clean of all glass, frames, tracks, and surrounding areas
