Benefits of aluminium sliding doors
Aluminium sliding doors can be the perfect choice for many developments, whether it be commercial or residential (regardless of size). Not only can they look attractive, with a modern and sleek style to suit your development, but they are also highly environmentally friendly thanks to the material used. The strength and sturdiness of aluminium sliding doors also contributes to a higher level of safety, letting the residents feel more secure. Thermally broken aluminium is also good at retaining heat and meeting or exceeding building regulations for thermal efficiency, making it a more energy-efficient choice than some other sliding door materials.
The durability of aluminium sliding doors means that they can withstand a lot of wear and inclement weather without becoming damaged too quickly, so you will not need to replace them as often as some other materials (as long as they are cleaned and maintained). Finally, on the aesthetic side of things, there is an impressive range of design and colour options available with aluminium sliding doors. This means that you can have a truly bespoke design that suits the look and feel of the property.

Are aluminium sliding doors the best option for your commercial property development?
When designing your property development, you may be unsure as to whether sliding doors are the best option for you. This depends on the aesthetic you have in mind for your project development, and whether you prioritise energy efficiency and durability. Sliding doors offer a range of customisable colours, accessories and other options to choose from. Offering quality aluminium sliding doors can help to improve your reputation overall, as you are providing durable and energy-efficient doors that are highly secure. With that in mind, it is important to keep in mind that they may not always be the best choice for your specific development. For example – while options such as French doors suit more traditional settings, sliding doors tend to have a more modern appearance.
How does aluminium compare to other materials?
Aluminium is not the only material on the market. UPVC is another popular option in construction, which is lightweight, durable, and easy to maintain, with an option of double or even triple glazing. On the other hand, aluminium tends to be more secure than UPVC, have slimmer sightlines as well as being more durable and environmentally friendly. Not only that, but you also have more flexibility in design.
You may also wish to look at timber frames. Timber is a classic choice, which has a more traditional aesthetic appeal and a natural look but requires more upkeep. When it comes to aluminium, though, it offers a more modern look and increased durability. Your decision depends on the style of your project, and your priorities as a developer.
What are the benefits of choosing a bespoke sliding door supplier for your project?
It might be tempting to look for something a little more standard issue when it comes to sliding doors. However, going with a bespoke sliding door supplier for your project is the best idea so that you can get the results you want. Bespoke suppliers will have more options for you, so that you can get the ideal style, colour and aesthetic for your project development rather than needing to settle for something that is not ideal. You will also be able to choose the necessary configuration for your building, with the right style and exact measurements for each part of the building. Not only that, but there will be a wider range of accessories and colours to choose from, as well as many options for handles and security.
Additionally, the correct security features for your door may not be something you have thought about in-depth, but a bespoke supplier will be able to advise you on this, as well as on the likes of thermal efficiency and building regulation requirements. Simply put, a bespoke sliding door supplier will be more well-versed in how to deliver your project on time and accurately.
