We have a wide selection, we quote free on all our services, and our team guides you through the choice rather than pushing one product. All our work comes with a warranty, and we only use top-quality materials, so there is no risk in taking the time to get the specification right.
Our types of glass doors
Sliding glass door
Sliding glass doors open and close by moving the leaf back along a track, either into a wall pocket or flush against a fixed panel. Sliding systems run on floor or head tracks that give the smooth opening and closing action, and access works from both sides, so the same door can act as a screen or a divider. It can be manual or automatic.

Folding glass door
Folding glass door panels can be fixed in place or used as folding glass entrance doors. The panels carry hinges along the centre point, letting them fold horizontally or vertically depending on the design, so the whole span opens rather than a single doorway.

Frameless glass door
Custom framed glass doors join two or more panels around a centre support system. A frameless panel has no visible frame at all, so the door reads as an uninterrupted line of glass where the panels meet in the middle. Hardware clamps the glass directly instead of surrounding it.
Swing glass door
Entrance glass doors are fixed permanently to their frames and open on a traditional swing mechanism rather than folding or sliding. This type is common in commercial buildings and also appears in homes, particularly where there is no side wall for a sliding leaf to park against.

Tempered glass door
Tempered glass entrance doors are made from toughened glass, which makes them far less likely to break into dangerous shards. Tempering works by heating the surface of the glass and then cooling it rapidly, compressing the inner layers together.

Frosted glass door
Frosted glass is produced by adding chemicals and pigments to the original glass formula, or by treating the finished panel. It is used for privacy and for decoration, and it can be frosted in several different ways depending on your preference.

Still not sure
Send us the opening width and height and a photo of what is on either side of it. That is usually enough for us to rule out three of the six on the spot, and to tell you which of the remaining three is worth the money.
