Sliding vs Hinged Doors

Which aluminium door is right for your space?

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.
