Aluminium Sliding Doors
We’ve worked with Sunflex for over twenty years, simplely because we believe nobody makes a better sliding door. The Sunflex Sliding Doors Collection covers everything from the tried and tested SVG range, beautifully engineered system for a standard patio opening through to larger and more complex three or four panel designs or bespoke configulrations.
Or there is the ultra-premium SF80 designed for expansive, grand-scale projects, with panels reaching four metres tall or wide for the best possible views. Whether you’re replacing a single set of tired patio doors or designing an entire glass wall for a contemporary new build, there’s a Sunflex sliding door built for exactly for you.
With sightline options from an ultra-slim 20mm up to 30mm, triple-glazed systems capable of Passivhaus-level thermal performance, and every door handmade in the UK, the Sunflex range doesn’t ask you to choose between looks and substance. Every system features precision-engineered tracks for effortless operation, flush stacking panels, and the highest specifications.
Three systems, one standard of quality, and an option for every house style. Explore the individual Sunflex models or visit any of our showrooms to see and operate these doors for yourself.
Open Corner Sliding Doors
Design your new extension with an open corner design creating a wow-factor, open or closed. Two sets of sliding panels slide independently, leaving nothing between you and the garden but fresh air. It’s one of the most dramatic transformations you can make to your home, and on a summer Suffolk evening, there’s nothing quite like it.
The engineering behind an open corner is more demanding than a straight run of sliding doors, and the installation needs to be right. The panels must align precisely, the tracks must be level, and the structural opening has to be properly designed from the outset. This is a project where our experience matters most, and it’s a specialist product where the installer is as important as the product itself.
If you’re working with an architect or builder on an extension or new build, we can get involved early to make sure the opening is designed to get the best from this configuration. We’ve delivered many open corner sliding doors across the region.
Pocket Sliding Doors
A pocket slider takes the sliding door concept further. Instead of the panels stacking visibly against a wall or frame when open, they slide back into a purpose-built cavity and disappear from view entirely. When the doors are open, there’s no glass, no frame, no reminder that a door exists. Just a clear, unobstructed opening between your room and the outside.
The result is the cleanest possible finish when the doors are fully retracted, making pocket sliders the natural choice for projects where the architecture is designed around that seamless indoor-outdoor connection. They work particularly well in contemporary new builds and high-end extensions where the design intent calls for nothing to interrupt the view.
Pocket configurations require careful planning at the build stage, as the cavity needs to be incorporated into the wall structure. At The Burgess Group, we’ve extensive experience in these specialist doors and will parter with you, your architect or builder from the outset. We promise a finished result that looks effortless, even though the detail behind it is anything but.
Timber Sliding Doors
Not every project calls for aluminium. Timber sliding doors bring warmth, character, and a natural material quality that sits beautifully with period properties, barn conversions, and homes where the architecture has a softer, more traditional feel. The sliding mechanism gives you the same wide opening and garden connection as an aluminium system, but framed in engineered timber that ages gracefully and feels as good as it looks.
Every door is made to measure, built from multi-layer engineered timber sections designed for year of reliable service. Factory-applied micro-porous coatings use a three-coat paint or stain system in a wide selection of colours, promising maximum protection, minimal maintenance. Security comes from multi-point locking mechanisms, with high performance safety glass throughout.
Ironmongery is chosen to match the character of the door, with an extensive range of elegant options including the beautiful Samuel Heath collection. If you’re considering timber for your sliding doors, we’ll help you get the best out of this outstanding material, colours and acessories.
You’ll love how our sliding doors glide effortlessly.
Choose from ultra-slim, pocket sliders and open corner doors, depending on your design preference and the layout of your home. Discover your options below and decide which of our beautiful sliding doors will let the light flood into your home throughout the year.
Customers Often Ask
Here's some of the questions we often get asked about sliding doors:
What are sliding doors?
Sliding doors are doors that open horizontally by sliding along a track. They move parallel to the wall, saving space and creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor environments. They're usually made from materials like glass, aluminium, wood, or composites, which offers a variety of design options.
What are the benefits of sliding doors?
The benefits of sliding doors include space efficiency, as they don't require the space needed for doors that swing open. This makes them ideal for both small and large rooms, enhancing the sense of openness and flow within a space. They also allow for more natural light to enter the room, providing expansive views and connecting indoor spaces with the outdoors. Sliding doors are also available in various designs and materials, enabling customisation to suit different architectural styles.
Are sliding doors energy efficient?
Yes, modern sliding doors are designed with energy efficiency in mind. They typically feature advanced insulation techniques, sustainable materials, and high-quality glass panes with weather-tight seals. These elements help maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reduce energy consumption, and lower heating and cooling costs.
Are sliding doors secure?
Sliding doors are very secure. Many contemporary models come equipped with robust security features such as multi-point locking mechanisms, shatter-resistant glass, and reinforced frames. Additional options like integrated alarms or remote access controls can further enhance the security, ensuring that the aesthetic appeal of sliding doors does not compromise the safety of your home.
