Patio doors is often a general term for any type of door that leads to a patio, but we’re talking specifically about sliding patio doors. Sliding patio doors feature large glazed panels that open horizontally, sliding on tracks at the top and bottom. They can have multiple moving panels that slide behind fixed or other moving panels.

Unlike French doors that open out or inwards, sliding patio doors move one behind the other on a track, saving you valuable garden and living space. Our uPVC and aluminium sliding patio doors are an efficient way of saving space and providing your home with natural light.
Our aluminium and uPVC patio sliding doors are an energy efficient solution for your home. Double glazing and thermal breaks in the frames help lock the heat in and keep the cold out. This helps keep your home warm, reducing your energy usage and lowering your bills in the process.
Our patio doors have high-quality security features as standard. They have a strong multipoint locking system secured with a 3-star rated cylinder lock. The cylinder is anti-bump, anti-drill and has a separate anti-snap guarantee for extra peace of mind.
Choose from uPVC or aluminium for your patio doors, both providing durable, secure and energy efficient designs for your home.
uPVC patio doors are a very versatile option, with plenty of customisation options. They are also very easy to maintain, requiring minimal cleaning to keep them working and looking at their best. Their multichambered frames with double glazing make make them very thermally efficient too, retaining heat and keeping out the cold.
Aluminium patio doors are strong and durable with slimmer frames for a more streamlined, modern look. Thermal breaks between the inner and our frame lowers thermal transfer, so they retain more heat and let in less cold. Our aluminium frames come in over 200+ RAL colours so you can find the perfect match for your decor.
Customise your new patio doors from our range of colours. Choose from 8 different uPVC colour options and 5 standard colours in aluminium, as well as over 200 custom RAL colours in aluminium.

Thinking about replacing your patio doors? There are lots of reasons why it might be time, from visible damage to problems with old glazing. If your patio doors are letting in draughts, they’re likely no longer providing a reliable weather seal, compromising their energy efficiency. Condensation between the glass panes also points to broken seals.
Patio doors that are difficult to slide open, or don’t close or lock properly, are also good candidates for replacement, as are doors with faded or discoloured frames, or any kind of visible damage or wear.
Your questions about patio doors, answered by us.
The cost of patio doors can depend on the configuration you choose, the size of the door, the materials used and, crucially, whether installation is included. Anglian offers made-to-measure patio doors in aluminium and uPVC, available in various styles and configurations. Because every door is bespoke to your home, every price will be different. The cost is affected by whether you choose uPVC or aluminium, as well as any colours or decorative glazing options. Speak to our design team today about your project to get started.
How secure patio doors are can depend on the manufacturer you get them through. If you get your patio doors through a supply only company, they may not include locks or have multiple options which might not all be as secure as one another. Supply and fit companies like Anglian tend to use the same high-quality locks in their doors. Our patio doors come with multi-point locking with a strong 3-star rated cylinder lock.
With regular care and maintenance, a high-quality and professionally fitted sliding patio door made from uPVC can last 20 years or more. Anglian White Knight uPVC patio doors hold the BBA accreditation, which means they can last more than 35 years with regular care. You can expect your aluminium patio doors to last 30 years or more with low level regular maintenance. This is due to their strength and long-lasting finish, powder coated to resist the elements and fading.
When buying a sliding patio door, make sure you have an idea of what the dimensions of your current doors are, as this will have the biggest impact on cost. It’s also worth thinking about what style you’d like, whether that’s French doors or sliding patio doors, both to suit the style of your home as well as work practically with your space. The material you choose is very important too, affecting affordability, energy efficiency and longevity.
Usually, installing sliding patio doors won’t need planning permission, especially if you’re replacing existing patio doors. You may need to seek permission if you’re planning to install sliding patio doors in a listed home or period property in a conservation area, as these will have stricter rules on any visual or structural changes.
At Anglian, we custom design and manufacture our sliding patio doors to fit any property. The size of sliding patio doors is usually just over 2m high with a width from 1.6m to 2.4m, though the exact dimensions will depend on the individual project. You can also choose from a different number of glazed panels to fit different widths, usually from 2 to 4 panel configurations.
