The door material does not make a difference
The materials your doors are composed of are essential, since they determine how well the door insulates your home, how reliable the door is in terms of security and how long can it last, hence dependability. The type of material you purchase also determines the maintenance or upkeep you’ll have to do. The materials used for Swing and Slide doors are durable, easy to clean and offer an aesthetically pleasing design with no physical hardware in between the panels. Furthermore, they are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and impact from heavy objects, which is reassuring, as the quality and security of your doors is paramount.

The selection of glass used in your doors also has a great impact on the performance in the home in terms of security, safety, thermal performance, amount of noise and in-house conditioning. Swing and Slide can accommodate both double and triple glazing and all our doors come with toughened thermal efficient glazing as standard.
