01

How it’s built

Top-hung from a concealed or visible steel track. The leaf slides parallel to the wall with no floor channel required. Frame and track are powder-coated to match.
02

Where it works best

Where a hinged door would intrude on the room or the opening. Wide openings, open-plan spaces, rooms where floor space is limited.
03

How to order it right

Confirm opening width and how much wall space is available for the leaf to slide into. Specify single or bi-parting. Glass, finish and hardware as standard.

The details, answered

Your questions
Clear answers

How wide can a single sliding leaf be?
Up to around 1,400mm on a single top-hung leaf. For wider openings, a bi-parting configuration with two leaves meeting in the centre can cover up to around 2,800mm. We advise on the best configuration for your opening.
Does the track have to be visible?
No. A fully concealed header track is available, where the track sits inside a ceiling or bulkhead and only the fixing points show. A visible track is also an option and works well as a considered design detail. We advise based on your ceiling.
Is a floor channel required?
No. Our sliding doors are top-hung, which means the leaf is carried entirely from the overhead track. The floor stays completely clear with no channel, no trip hazard and no obstacle for furniture.
Can a sliding door be fire-rated?
FD30 sliding fire doors are available in our range. The fire rating affects the hardware specification and requires an intumescent seal at the perimeter. Confirm the requirement at the time of order.
What glass options are available?
Full-light, half-light or solid panel. Reeded and frosted glass are particularly popular on sliding doors where privacy is needed without blocking light between rooms.
Is soft-close available?
Yes, and it is standard across our sliding door range. The door decelerates automatically from about 10cm out and closes gently without slamming. The closing force is adjustable.
How long does manufacture take?
8 to 10 weeks from drawing sign-off. A concealed header track or a custom oversized leaf may add two to three weeks. We confirm the programme at the time of order.
What is a bi-parting configuration?
Two leaves that slide from the centre of the opening outward, each disappearing into the wall on its own side. It works well for very wide openings or where a symmetrical reveal is the aim. Each leaf needs its own wall run.
Do you install?
Yes. We are based in London and install across the UK. We also supply-only to your contractor anywhere in the UK, and we deliver to European countries. Full fitting instructions and technical support are included with every supply-only order.
What warranty do you offer?
Ten years on frames and glazing, five years on hardware and the track system. Subject to normal maintenance and cleaning of the track.
