Why choose a sliding door for a project development?
Aluminium sliding doors are strong and durable patio doors, making them reliable options for large-scale residential or commercial developments. They’re available in a wide range of designs and colours, meaning that you can choose the ideal design for the style and requirements of your project.
Aluminium doors can also be highly energy-efficient, helping to keep premises cool in summer and warm in winter. This also makes them an environmentally friendly alternative to other types of commercial sliding doors, improving your reputation as a property developer.
Origin aluminium sliding doors are designed with practicality in mind, without compromising the appearance of the doors. Each sliding door option is constructed in a modern and sleek style that is perfect for any contemporary setting. In summary, aluminium sliding doors offer a wide range of benefits that make them perfect for any commercial setting.

Although a supply and install service can provide many benefits, a supply-only sliding door service is an ideal option for your development if you do not need to prioritise saving time. A sliding door supply-only service is also ideal if you feel you do not need expert installers on hand to install the door. However, ensure you are confident in installing the door, and that you have specified the right sliding door options for your development.
What should you prioritise in a sliding door supply-only service?
When looking for a high-quality supply-only service for sliding doors, you should consider everything from the quality of the sliding doors offered, to the lead times. With Origin, you can guarantee that products will be manufactured and delivered in as little as 24 hours (or whenever you need them). This industry-best lead time delivery promise is ideal if you want to ensure your projects run on time.
Another key priority should be ensuring the sliding doors will last a long time and provide a durable option for the development. Providing high-quality, long-lasting sliding doors will help to improve your reputation, so it is worth investing a high-quality supplier over a cheaper, less reliable supplier. Aluminium is a great option for high-quality sliding doors, as it provides excellent durability and strength, and also appears sleek and modern.
Working with a supplier that offers a one point of contact and excellent communication is another key factor to look for, as this can ensure you receive useful ongoing support. Read about Origin’s commercial service offering here.
In addition to these factors, you should also prioritise aspects such as the sliding door designs offered by the supplier, the lead times provided, and whether the supplier offers bespoke sliding door options. With Origin, you can specify the exact size and configuration required to suit your project. Size limitations and panel configuration options, however, depend on the sliding door option chosen. There are two main choices of sliding doors when you choose Origin as a supplier - the Artisan or the Patio Slider. The main difference between the two is that the Artisan is the slightly more modern option as it has slim sightlines of 20mm as a bonded or wet glazing system. The Patio Slider, on the other hand, has respective sightlines of 29mm, 44mm and 77mm. This means that the choice comes down both to the project’s specifications and style.
How can a supply and install sliding door service save you time?
Many commercial door suppliers will only offer to supply the door, leaving you to install the door for your project and ensure it is secure and fitted correctly. Sliding door suppliers such as Origin, however, offer a supply and installation service as part of a full commercial offering, in which we work alongside our expert installation partners. This can ensure that the door is fitted securely and professionally, leaving this job to experts in sliding door installation.

Origin Sliding Doors
With their great energy and thermal efficiency, Origin Sliding Doors are thermally broken which limits the heat transfer between the inside and outside spaces. This keeps you warm during winter and cool during the summer months. With their extra-large glass panes, sliding doors also allow significantly more natural light into your home, meaning you can save money on both heating and electricity from using artificial lights.
There’s no need to worry about safety either, as sliding doors come equipped with high-security locking mechanisms. Both the OS-20 Artisan Slider and OS-44 and OS-77 Patio Sliders have a minimum of six points of locking and offer a host of security and safety features.
Available in a vast range of bespoke options, you are guaranteed to find a suitable sliding door for your development.
