Aluminium Sliding Doors

Choosing the right aluminium sliding doors for your home can enhance your property’s aesthetic appeal, increase its value, and improve energy efficiency. When selecting the right aluminium door for your space, there are many important factors to consider. In this article, we explore our 5 top tips to guide you in your selection:

  1. Measure Your Space: It’s important to accurately measure the space where you plan to install the sliding door. This will help you determine the appropriate size and number of door panels. 

At GCB Doors and Windows, we offer a selection of sizes to assist in the size of your space. Custom dimensions can also be arranged for both aluminium sliding doors and windows. 

  1. Consider the Design: The design of your aluminium sliding doors should complement the overall aesthetic of your home. 

GCB Doors and Windows offers a wide array of designs, from sleek, minimalist panels to more intricate, detailed designs, allowing you to choose the perfect match for your home’s style.

  1. Check the Thermal Performance: The right aluminium sliding doors should offer excellent thermal performance. Look for doors with thermal breaks and double-glazed glass, which help to reduce heat transfer and can potentially lower your energy costs. 

Our high-quality aluminium sliding doors have outstanding thermal performance, which can help you save money on energy and make them a sustainable option for your house.

  1. Ask about Maintenance: The right door should be low maintenance. Aluminium doors require only occasional cleaning and lubrication of the moving parts. 

Our aluminium sliding doors are renowned for their resistance to harsh weather, offering long-lasting performance with little maintenance.

  1. Find a Reputable Supplier: Lastly, always choose a trusted supplier, like GCB Doors and Windows, which assures high-quality products and professional installation. We are a family-run business, providing the highest quality aluminium sliding doors since 2017. 

Choosing the right aluminium sliding doors involves considering factors such as design, functionality, security, and supplier reputation. With these factors in mind, you can make an informed decision that will enhance your home and provide lasting benefits.

Understanding Soundproof Windows  Soundproof windows transform your home into a haven of peace and quiet. You close your front door, and suddenly, the chaotic city fades away. No more honking horns, no distant sirens. Just the gentle hush of your peaceful retreat.  Soundproof windows are especially designed to reduce the amount of external noise that enters your home. Unlike standard windows, they use advanced materials like laminated glass and specialised acoustic seals, along with precision construction techniques, to block or absorb sound waves for a noticeably quieter indoor environment.  To understand why soundproof windows work so well, it helps to know how sound travels.
