Choices to weigh up in Warwick

Sliding patio doors

Two or more large panels slide past each other on a track, so nothing swings into the room or onto the patio. Sliders give the biggest uninterrupted panes and the narrowest frames, which makes them a good choice where the view matters more than opening the whole wall. Aluminium sliders also suit wide openings.

uPVC bi-fold doors

uPVC bi-folds cost less than aluminium and insulate well, but the frames are chunkier and the maximum panel size is smaller. They work best on openings up to about three metres wide. White, grey and woodgrain finishes are available, and they can be matched to existing uPVC windows on the same wall.

Your questions answered

What should I check before ordering?

Think about the floor level inside and out: a flush threshold needs the patio set lower, with drainage at the door. Decide which side the panels should stack and where the everyday traffic door goes, keeping furniture in mind. If the doors face south or west, ask about solar control glass to keep the room cooler.

Do you cover Warwick?

Yes. Warwick (CV34) is about 24 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

What guarantee comes with the doors?

The frames, glass, rollers and locks are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your doors are set out in your quote. Ask how sealed units, running gear and powder coating are covered, as these vary between systems. Keep the guarantee with your certificate and any structural sign-off from building control.

Will I need permission from the council in Warwick?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Warwick is provided by Warwick District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
