Triple glazed sliding patio doors for homes in Potters Bar: measured on a free survey, made to order and fitted by installation teams working for us across Hertfordshire.
uPVC and aluminium sliders with low-threshold options. A sliding patio door has large glazed panels that slide past each other on a track, so it opens without swinging into the room.

Rules for sliding patio doors in England
In England, replacement external doors must meet 1.4 W/m²K, or a door set energy rating of band C (more than 60% glazed) or band B (other doors). Replacement external doors fall under the same energy rules: a competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council, or a building control body approves it.
Planning: Replacing doors on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. Flats need planning permission for a change that alters their appearance, an Article 4 direction may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
How it works
You will know exactly what you are buying: the quote states the unit build-up, frame, finish, fitting work and how Building Regulations compliance is handled. On fitting day each opening is replaced and closed up before the team moves on.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
Questions from Potters Bar
Are triple glazed sliding doors hard to open?
Not with correctly rated rollers. Lift-and-slide gear makes even very large panels easy to move.
Can I have a level threshold?
Low thresholds are available; they need a suitable drainage detail outside, which we check on survey.
How long does it take to get triple glazed sliding patio doors fitted in Potters Bar?
After the survey, typical manufacture time is 5 to 8 weeks, and a door is usually fitted in a day.
Do I need permission for triple glazed sliding patio doors in Potters Bar?
In England, a replacement door on a house that looks similar is normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Check whether your street is in a conservation area or covered by an Article 4 direction before changing the style.
