A premium product manufactured & installed by the experts
The growing trend for maximum glass & minimal sightlines has seen manufacturing & installation methods evolve to meet the demand for minimal glass sliding doors within luxury new-builds & renovations. We have been manufacturing innovative products for years and the production of our slim-line patio doors is no different. Prior to manufacture we inspect the glass that will make up most of the doors on our purpose-built glass checking area. Specialist lifting equipment is then used to position the glass in place for our engineers to bond the framework to the glass. Meticulous attention to detail is given throughout the production phase, which once complete leads to a cool down period where we leave the bonded frame to cure to the glass for a strong & secure product. The bespoke doors are then wrapped and stored safely until the installation is set to take to place.
Expertise throughout every stage
Our sales team will liaise with you, your builders and your architect to ensure that the XP Slide Panoramic + is shown off to its full potential. The track sits on a drainage and outlet profile so ideally suited for a flush finish from inside to out. The doors outer frame is only 59mm so looks fine exposed but can also be completely concealed with internal plasterwork and external render or cladding so the only visible profiles in the doors are just the 25mm vertical transoms, this means the door is completely glass except for the slimline vertical profiles that are only 25mm wide – wow! From sales, to survey, to installation we’ll work with you & our expert advice will cover everything from preparing the opening properly with a solid base to take the weight of the door, solid cavities for fixing points, and those all-important measurements to ensure all frames a concealed to create a stunning and secure glass sliding door.
COMPLETELY CONCEALED OUTER FRAME
There are no visible profiles at the door’s head, foot or side jambs as it is completely concealed by the door’s outer frame, meaning this truly is a glass sliding door.
The outer frame is designed to be concealed by external cladding or render.
Because the sash is concealed the sight-lines are still slim even when installed into a brick opening.
The sash is concealed at the head and foot of the door resulting in minimal frame & maximum glass.
The locking handle is bonded to the sliding door and boasts a latch that controls the five-point lock.
XP Slide Panoramic + Frequently Asked Questions.
Is there visible profile at the top and bottom of the door?
No, the sliding door sash sits within the doors outer frame so is completely concealed.
Does the outer frame need to be concealed for the door to look right?
No, the depth of the outer frame is only 59mm at the head and down the sides so even if this is not concealed internally and externally it is still a relatively slim frame because there is no visible sash. You have 59mm of profile and then glass, the transom is then only 25mm so even with the outer frame visible this is still a slim-line, glass sliding door.
How does the door lock?
The door contains three lock catches and keeps and a two-point shoot bolt lock. The contemporary handle has a built-in latch that you push down when the door is closed to operate and secure the five-point lock. The latch also boasts a lockable key cylinder for UK building regulations.
How does the door drain water away?
The track is drained straight down onto a 44m high base profile that the door sits on. The base profile is sloped a sloped and is designed for the drain the water away from the doors into an external drainage system. The height of the bottom track is substantial at 103mm and it has been designed to completely concealed for a flush finish inside to out. Because the track is substantial it is important to liaise with our team early in your project to ensure the openings are prepared correctly for this aspirational product.
Are textured elite and essence colours available with this door?
No, because the frames are so slim textured paint can create friction within the door, so we recommend a smooth powder coat finish.
Are integral blinds available within this slim-line sliding door?
No, because of how the door is manufactured we cannot offer integral blinds within this product.
What is the maximum size of this door?
For ease of handling during manufacture, transport and installation we like to limit the width of each panel to 2250mm and the height below 2100. The maximum height is 2700mm but this would considerably reduce the maximum width panel that we can offer. Sizes outside of these parameters are possible but we will always give sound, honest and practical advice on the requested sizes for doors based on the specific project and site location.
