Which Is Best for You?

When it comes to choosing between sliding and hinged aluminium doors, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your space, style, and practical needs. Let’s compare the two options to help you make an informed decision.

Sliding Doors

Sliding doors are perfect for spaces where you want to maximise light and visibility while saving on swing space. These doors glide horizontally on a track and are ideal for patios, balconies, and modern living areas.

• ✔ Great for limited space
• ✔ Modern, sleek appearance
• ✔ Easy access to outdoor areas
• ✘ Limited opening size (usually 50% of the frame)

Hinged Doors

Hinged doors are traditional and versatile. They swing inward or outward on hinges and offer a wide, unobstructed opening. Perfect for front doors, interior connections, and smaller entrances.

• ✔ Full access to the doorway
• ✔ Strong sealing for insulation
• ✔ Easy to install with multiple hardware options
• ✘ Requires clear space to swing open

Which Should You Choose?

If space is limited or you’re looking for a contemporary aesthetic, sliding doors are an excellent option. If you value maximum access and classic function, hinged doors may suit you better.
