Specification Choices

Set the slider around sightlines, track format, and threshold detail

The sliding patio page keeps the emphasis on the specification choices that matter most, using reference visuals to support decisions on sightlines, panel movement, and threshold handling.

Made to measure

Choose the visible frame language first

Sightline choice is often the main reason a homeowner prefers a slider over a bi-fold, so the page keeps that decision front and centre.

Standard sightline route

Standard sightline route

A standard sightline route keeps the system robust and balanced for family use while still delivering the broader glazed feel that makes sliders appealing.

  • Good all-round route for everyday use
  • Balances frame strength with clean glazing lines
  • Often best where panel sizes are moderate to large

Slimline centre line

Slimmer centre-line options reduce the visible aluminium through the meeting point and make the closed elevation feel more like uninterrupted glass.

  • Best where uninterrupted glass matters most
  • Useful on contemporary rear elevations
  • Final sightline depends on the chosen panel format

Track count and panel format drive the way the opening works

Sliding doors are usually chosen because they preserve glass while avoiding swing space, so the panel format needs to suit the opening and the level of access required.

2-panel slider

2-panel slider

The classic two-panel format keeps the system straightforward: one fixed pane, one moving sash, and no inward or outward swing space needed.

  • Good for standard patio widths
  • Simple everyday operation
  • Keeps the frame language clean and familiar

3 to 4 panel arrangements

Broader openings can be split into more leaves to widen the opening while preserving the cleaner frame rhythm that often makes sliders preferable to bi-folds.

  • Useful for wider extensions
  • Fixed and sliding combinations available
  • Track choice follows the opening brief

Multi-track wider openings

On broader spans, multiple tracks can help more leaves stack behind one another without moving into a folding-door format.

  • Supports wider glazed spans
  • Keeps operation inline rather than folding
  • Panel sizes and stacking confirmed during survey

These aluminium sliding doors are built around the details that actually matter on site: interlock width, panel weight, frame depth, weather ratings, and how much uninterrupted glass you can keep in the opening. That gives CII a cleaner specification for contemporary extensions and rear elevations where a bi-fold is not the right operational choice.

Key Specifications

Slim 35mm interlock keeps the central meeting stile visually tight

Panel sizes up to 2200mm by 2600mm allow wider glazed openings with fewer frames

Class 4 air permeability, 7A water tightness, and C5 wind resistance on the tested platform

Acoustic performance up to 40dB with the right glazing specification

Thermally broken aluminium frame with 14mm to 36mm glazing compatibility

Colour-matched hardware and single or dual-colour powder coating available

Core Information

Key information for Aluminium Sliding Patio Doors

The main performance, specification, and installation details that shape how this aluminium range works in practice.

Best For

Where this range fits best

Wide rear elevations where uninterrupted glass matters most

Openings where a bi-fold would take up too much landing space

Contemporary projects needing larger sliding panels and cleaner sightlines

Energy efficiency

This thermally broken aluminium sliding system supports glazing options from 14mm to 36mm. Published U-values reach 1.2 W/m2K, keeping the range aligned with modern residential expectations while still delivering the slimmer frame lines homeowners usually want from an aluminium slider.

Security

Multi-point locking combines with anti-lift protection to guard against one of the classic weak points associated with older patio doors. The heavier-duty aluminium frame also gives more confidence on wider panels than a lighter entry-level system.

Colours and specification

The main design choices are panel format, frame finish, glazing type, and threshold detail. Colour-matched hardware helps the final door feel more resolved than a basic mix-and-match slider, and the broader RAL palette is a major differentiator from simpler retail ranges.

Installation and guarantee

All CII aluminium sliding patio door installations are covered by our 10-year installation guarantee, with final system configuration confirmed at survey before installation.

Sliding Door Details

Cleaner Sightlines, Better Rollers, And Smarter Threshold Planning

The slider page works best when it shows how the system moves and locks, rather than trying to pretend there are endless decorative variants to compare.

Cleaner glass-to-frame ratio

Cleaner glass-to-frame ratio

A slider is usually chosen to keep more uninterrupted glass on show than a folding system would when closed.

Bogie and roller support

Bogie and roller support

The bogie and roller package matters because larger sliding panels only feel premium when the movement stays controlled over time.

Lock and handle detailing

Lock and handle detailing

Colour-matched handles and cleaner locking detail help the final slider feel more resolved than an entry-level patio system.

Thresholds planned around access

Thresholds planned around access

Lower-threshold routes are strongest when they are signed off alongside patio level, drainage, and the final panel format.

Good price and hassle free. The doors look brilliant, exactly what we wanted. The fitters were friendly and left everything spotless.
