Sliding door and roof light installation Colwyn Bay.

Aluminium Sliding Door, Colwyn Bay

After purchasing this property in North Wales, the owners wanted to re-imagine the rear by utilising an unused courtyard space. Looking to build an open-plan family space, creating one large room that could be enjoyed by all the family filled with plenty of natural light and offering an enhanced connection with the outdoor space.

Initially considering bi-fold doors, our client wanted more than the local UPVC products and something unique to complete their new living space. After visiting our showroom on the Wirral, they chose an aluminium dual sliding door due to the opening size, which was almost 6 meters wide. A sizeable bi-fold door would need to be manufactured from 6 panels, creating many vertical sight lines when looking out onto the garden, preventing them from achieving expansive outdoor views.  An aluminium sliding door was the perfect choice due to its strength. It allows us to quickly fill a 6-meter opening with just two panels, creating an almost uninterrupted view of the garden with only one vertical sight line in the centre of the doors.  Not only does this frame their garden perfectly, but it adds a real wow factor to their space.

We also supplied the sliding doors and a flat roof light to help bring plenty of light into their new living space. Flat roof lights are an idea for adding extra natural light to flat roof extensions where standard roof lights cannot be installed. They offer a striking alternative to roof lanterns and, in this property, helped them achieve this unobtrusive external aesthetic.
