Aluminium Sliding Patio Doors
Powder-coated Aluminium
Our range of garden patio doors in aluminium are made using powder-coated profile from our extruder of choice Smart Systems. Powder coating involves the application of dry powder to the aluminium, which is then cured under heat to create a uniform finish. This coating serves as a protective barrier against harsh weather conditions, significantly prolonging the lifespan of our doors.
Polyamide Thermal Break
Modern aluminium doors such as our Visoglide Plus patio doors feature a thermal break – which in our case is made from polyamide which is a non-conductive material inserted between the inner and outer parts of the aluminium frame to reduce thermal transmittance.
Inline Sliding
The inline sliding design of our Visoglide Plus Aluminium door offers a user-friendly experience. This design allows the door panels to slide smoothly along a horizontal track, minimising effort and maximising accessibility. Inline sliding doors are particularly advantageous in spaces where floor space is limited, as they do not require additional clearance for the door to open, like Quickslide’s bifold doors.
Double or Triple Track
Our aluminium patio doors come with the option of a double or triple track, allowing you to select the style that best suits your needs. For those looking for a more expansive design, the triple track is available, but it requires a minimum configuration of three panels. This flexibility ensures that your aluminium door can be customised to meet your specific requirements.
Internal Profile Head Detail
The sleek aluminium frame of our patio doors ensures that each sash consists of more glass than frame, allowing the doors to fully showcase your view. This design maximises the amount of natural light that enters your space while creating a seamless connection between your indoor and outdoor areas. The slim frame not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures that your view remains unobstructed.
Multi-point Locking Mechanism
Our aluminium sliding patio doors are equipped with a multi-point locking mechanism that enhances security by securing the locking side of the sliding panel with shoot bolts that extend into a locking keep. This advanced locking system provides robust protection against forced entry, ensuring peace of mind for homeowners. The multi-point mechanism not only secures the doors but also contributes to their smooth and reliable operation, combining security with convenience and ease of use.
Smooth Sliding Track System
Our aluminium sliding patio doors are manufactured with the purpose of being able to slide smoothly with large and heavy glass panels. The door panels are mounted on rollers that glide along a horizontal track, allowing the panels to slide parallel to a wall. This design not only saves space but also makes it easy to use.
Threshold Options
Opting for a low threshold enhances accessibility and comfort, making it a practical choice for any home. Low thresholds are designed to minimise the step-over height between indoor and outdoor spaces, providing easy access and a seamless transition inside and outside.
Trickle Vent
Building regulations state that most glazing elements require trickle vents. Fitting trickle vents in windows or doors improves indoor air quality and allows airflow even when windows are closed. Trickle vents ensure that that modern buildings meet ventilation standards by balancing insulation properties with adequate airflow throughout the home. We use link vents (5000EA each), which require a 42mm add-on across and above the outer frame.
Sill Options
Our aluminium sliding doors come with a variety of sill options to meet the functional needs of the opening.
Choose between: 190mm (double track only) / 225mm (double & triple track) / 300mm (double & triple track)

Glazing Options
Double Glazing
Our aluminium sliding doors come with 28mm double glazing as standard allowing plenty of sunlight to filter through. The glass used in our aluminium doors is comprised of 4mm toughened glass on one side and 4mm clear Low E toughened glass on the other.
Triple Glazing
Triple glazing is made up of three panes of glass with air or argon gas within each of the two pockets. Triple glazing work in the same way as double glazing although with triple glazing you get an extra pane of glass and an extra insulation barrier. The extra pane of glass offers better insulation values.
Spacer Bars
Spacer bars are placed around the perimeter of the glass panes to provide essential structural support and maintain consistent spacing between the panes. Choose from our selection of three distinct bar finishes to complement your door’s aesthetic and enhance its overall appeal.

Laminated Glass
You have the option to upgrade your sliding patio door with laminated glass for enhanced safety. One of the most notable advantages of laminated glass is its safety features. In the event of breakage, the interlayer holds the glass fragments together, preventing them from shattering into sharp pieces.

FAQs
View All FAQsAre aluminium patio doors better than uPVC?
Aluminium, being a metal, is naturally more robust than uPVC. However, that doesn’t mean that homeowners should discount the latter. Both are customisable, thermally insulating, and secure. The decision as to which material your customer selects would be largely dictated on design and budget. Become a Quickslide trade partner and you can offer them the variety of choice.
What other doors do Quickslide manufacture?
If sliding aluminium patio doors aren’t right for the project, worry not. Quickslide also manufacture and supply aluminium residential doors, French doors and bifold doors. We also offer a full suite of uPVC doors in many of the same styles.

What Are Patio Doors?
Patio doors are a type of door that slides or swings open to a patio or garden. They are typically made from two large panes of glass and can come with uPVC, timber, or aluminium and steel frames. Patio doors are a popular choice for homeowners across the country, as they offer a smooth and easy operation and a wide opening for a back entrance to a home.
