How To Fit A Sliding Door

How To Fit A Sliding Door

Once we have supplied your StyleSlide sliding doors, it's over to you to install them. In this article, we look at the steps you will need to take to ensure that your top-quality sliding doors from Aluminum Glazing Direct are fitted correctly for optimal performance.

Ensure Sliding Door Dimensions

As these are bespoke sliding doors, you must ensure that the sliding door dimensions are correct when you purchase them. You will need to know the measurements before placing any order so the sliding door sizes match what is required and the sliding door frame is level. We recommend using a professional to help you with getting the correct dimensions for the sliding doors to avoid inaccurate sizes. Our aluminium patio doors can be ordered up to sizes of 2.2m x 2.6m per panel. You can download our specification sheet, which includes information on the size limits and performance levels, including the u-value.

Site Survey

A site survey is vital before any installation is completed. You need to check for any potential deficiencies in the structure and notify us if any are to be found. The surrounding area of the installation must be clear and without any debris, and the area must be dry without any risk of moisture.

Correct Tools

To fit a sliding door, you will need the correct tools, including appropriate fixings, drills, and trestle tables. Our installation guide includes recommended tools required for a sliding door install. During the installation, you must wear goggles, gloves, and appropriate footwear.

Installation Guide

Before starting any installation, we recommend that you download our installation guide, which walks you through each step of installing our StyleSlide sliding doors. Using our installation guide allows for the best possible fitting so you can enjoy the optimum performance of our SlideStyle sliding doors. The in-depth guide includes information on how to prepare, install, and test the doors. Also, on completion, the guide consists of steps on how to maintain the sliding doors and keep their pristine look for years to come.

If you are unsure about completing the installation, we recommend contacting a professional to install the sliding doors correctly and efficiently.
