Slim Sliding Glass Doors Opening the Extension to the Garden
The principal glazed opening is a large three track sliding glass door system installed across the kitchen and dining area. Measuring approximately 7.2m wide by 2.6m high, the system comprises two sliding panes and one fixed panel, creating a broad garden facing elevation with direct access to the raised patio steps.
Slim 21mm profiles reduce the visible framing between the large glass panels, maintaining clear views from the main living spaces. The aluminium frames are finished in RAL 9011 Graphite Black, providing a consistent dark detail against the brickwork and across the wider glazing package.
The sliding doors form a defining element of the glazed extension in Greater Manchester, allowing natural light to enter across the full width of the kitchen and dining area. Clear toughened double glazing with a low E coating supports thermal performance while preserving the clarity of the garden views.
Pocket Sliding Glass Door for a Flexible Library and Office
A second slim sliding system was installed within the library and study. Measuring approximately 2.3m wide by 2.6m high, the glazed panel slides neatly into a concealed pocket cavity, allowing the room to open directly towards the garden without a visible door leaf remaining within the opening.
This pocket door supports the flexible use of the room. When closed, the library and office can function as a focused private workspace. When opened, it becomes more closely connected to the garden and adjoining family areas, supporting the project’s wider aim of balancing work, relaxation and family life.
The pocket sliding glass door uses the same RAL 9011 Graphite Black frame finish and glazing specification as the larger kitchen and dining system. This creates a consistent appearance across the extension while allowing each system to respond to the particular use of its space.
