Ilkley Moor

Slim Sliding Doors in Ilkley

Ilkley Moor is a reimagined Victorian home that showcases slim sliding doors in Ilkley. The glazing package combines large-span, ultra slim sliding doors, Invisio® structural glazing and frameless glass balustrades in RAL 7021 Matt to bring light, views and clean lines to the refurbished envelope.

The terrace-facing elevations use a series of two-track slim sliding door sets with sliding sashes framed by fixed panes to open the main living spaces to the garden. Fixed returns form a clear glass-to-glass corner, extending views around the room, and a further slider on a secondary elevation provides everyday access. Together these assemblies deliver the slim sightlines and easy operation associated with slim sliding doors in Ilkley projects that prioritise a strong connection to the garden.

Invisio® fixed structural glazing stitches the elevations and lifts daylight deeper into the plan. Continuous clerestory bands wrap key façades to create an even wash of top light, while full-height picture windows are placed to frame views and balance solid and void. The result is a disciplined, minimal façade language that modernises the property without overwhelming its character.

External terraces are protected with frameless effect glass balustrades set in a base channel for a clean top line and uninterrupted views across the landscaped gardens.

Performance glazing was specified to suit the orientations and large pane sizes. Solar control glass manages summer gains and glare while preserving neutral colour rendition. Critical panes were heat soak tested to reduce the risk of spontaneous breakage from nickel sulphide inclusions, an important quality assurance step on large sliders and full-height fixed lights. All systems were finished RAL 7021 Matt for a coherent, low maintenance exterior.

This coordinated package of sliding doors, structural glazing and balustrades demonstrates how slim sliding doors in Ilkley can update a period property while keeping its original spirit.
