As you enter the Courtyard at Sky House one of the first things you will see is our slim sliding door show box. This standalone building is the show space for our most popular window/door system.
More than just a sliding door; the minimal system is a moving glass façade system with ultra slim sightlines of just 20mm. The beauty of this slim sliding door is not just in its minimal framing, but also in its versatility, enabling architects and specifiers to tailor the system to their project.
At the Courtyard showroom, we try to showcase the most popular configurations and options. Take a look below for some of the sliding door solutions you can see at the showroom in Amersham:

One advantage our system has over some other slim sliders is that you can have uneven elevations meeting at a corner (for instance a two-track and a three track). The showroom captures a real-life example of how that connection works at both the head and base frame.
This is another advantage of our minimalist system; some sliding systems that offer pocket doors can only do this from two tracks to four (if you want a single slider you need to use a two-track system, have space for two tracks within the wall and then just block one of those up).
With the slim sliding door system, you can have a single-track slider that slots effortlessly back into the wall whilst maintaining all the minimal detailing of the sliding system. Lots of visitors mistake this door with a frameless window and are shocked when we slide it open!
At the showroom, you will be able to see a two-pane sliding system shown as a smaller sliding window. In the configuration shown both panes are sliding and showcase two different locking options; the manual thrust lever lock or the manual internal key lock. Both locks maintain the slim profiles and offer the same level of security, they are just operated via a different means.
The sliding door installed in the box showcases the drainage base paired with an external French drain. Our hand samples also showcase alternative options with integrated external drainage channels.
The system installed at the showroom is very large and includes the D pull handle in two finishes, the thrust lever handle locking and the hold open, self-close mechanism.

As the sliding system can be powder coated in any RAL colour you have a lot of design flexibility.
