Which Is Best for You?
When choosing between sliding and hinged aluminium doors, the best option depends on your space, layout, and priorities.
Sliding Doors
Sliding doors glide horizontally and are ideal for patios, balconies, and modern open-plan living areas.
- Great for limited space
- Modern, sleek appearance
- Excellent indoor–outdoor flow
- Limited opening width (typically ±50%)
Hinged Doors
Hinged doors swing inward or outward, offering full access and a strong seal.
- Full, unobstructed opening
- Superior sealing and insulation
- Wide range of hardware options
- Requires swing clearance
Final Recommendation
If space is tight and style is modern, sliding doors are ideal. If you want maximum access and traditional functionality, hinged doors are the better choice.
