Increased natural light and an unobstructed view
Timber sliding doors are a great choice if you want to make the most of your views into the garden or beyond. Large panes of glass give uninterrupted views and lots of natural light.
How do sliding doors work?
Our timber sliding patio doors run on a high performance rail system that is designed to ensure the doors glide easily. Weight is not a problem because the system is highly durable and also makes opening the doors effortless.
Sliding doors are particularly useful where you don’t have space inside or outside for doors to open into. The opening door slides behind the fixed panel making them ideal in kitchens, entrances and even bedrooms with Juliet balconies.
We offer several sliding patio door configurations to suit the layout of the room and the size of the reveal. All configurations allow for very large and heavy doors (up to 400kg in weight) to be specified without compromising the sliding performance.
Double or triple glazing
We offer a range of glazing options including triple glazing, which gives optimum thermal and acoustic performance. This means they are suitable for Passivhaus building standards.
There is also an option for integrated blinds which gives a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.
Are Timber sliding doors secure?
Yes, our sliding patio doors are designed with the highest levels of security in mind. They meet the Secure by Design accreditation and have been thoroughly tested to PAS-24 standards, making sure they enforce protection over forced entry.
Our timber sliding patio doors have security features included such as cylinder locking, locking handles and multipoint espagnolette locking system. These work together to deliver resistance to tampering and break-ins, offering homeowners peace of mind without compromising on functionality. With George Barnsdale, you can trust that your sliding doors are built for safety and security.
There are also secure night vents which leave a 10mm opening. This is ideal when used in a bedroom, for example, when you want night time ventilation.
Additional security is offered by the concealed, interlocking aluminium meeting rail, which also contributes to the doors’ exceptional weather performance.
Paint or stain?
We offer a range of standard paint colours or you can opt to have a colour matched to a leading manufacturer’s. There is also a range of stain options too.

Sliding Patio Doors: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I customise my sliding patio doors?
You can also tailor the glazing options to enhance the energy efficiency, and performance or even include decorative glazing. You can also select from different configurations and styles, so your sliding patio doors perfectly complement your home’s design.
Do sliding patio doors require maintenance?
Lubricating the rollers and hardware can also help maintain easy operation. It’s important to periodically inspect the seals and weather stripping to ensure they remain intact, as this helps with energy and preventing draughts.

Installation mistakes can lead to issues such as draughts, water leaks, or even compromised security.
