Sliding Doors

uPVC Sliding Doors Designed for Every Opening and Space

The door type you choose changes how a space feels. uPVC sliding doors move horizontally on a track, requiring no swing clearance on either side making them the most space-efficient door solution for balconies, terraces, living rooms, and compact interiors. But space-saving is only part of the story. A well-specified upvc sliding door design also defines how much light enters a room, how the indoor and outdoor spaces connect, and how securely the opening is protected. 

Sliding Door Patterns and Configurations

Griham's upvc sliding doors range covers nine configurations, each built for a specific opening size, ventilation need, and application.

2 Track 2 Panel Sliding Door
The standard configuration for most residential openings, offering a typical opening of around 50%. Clean, space-efficient, and well suited for bedrooms and compact living areas. 

2 Track 4 Panel Sliding Door
Four panels on two tracks for wider openings delivers a larger glass area and greater visual continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces.

3 Track 3 Panel Sliding Door
Three independently operable panels for flexible ventilation control. A practical choice for living rooms and dining areas where airflow requirements vary.

3 Track 2 Panel Sliding Door With Mesh
Combines smooth sliding operation with integrated insect protection. uPVC sliding doors with mesh of this configuration are ideal for spaces that stay open through the evening.

3 Track 4 Panel Sliding Door With Mesh
A wider mesh-integrated configuration for larger openings, offering a typical opening of around 50% ideal for balconies and terraces where both ventilation and insect protection are non-negotiable. 

3 Track 6 Panel Sliding Door
Built for expansive openings in premium residences and commercial spaces where maximum glass area and unobstructed views are the priority.

4 Track 4 Panel Sliding Door
Four panels on four tracks allowing full flexibility each panel operates independently for precise ventilation and access control.

4 Track 3 Panel Sliding Door With Mesh
Combines the flexibility of a 4-track system with integrated mesh suited for large balcony openings where airflow and insect protection must coexist.

2 Track 2 Panel Sliding Door With Low Threshold
Designed specifically as upvc sliding doors for balcony applications, with a near-flushed low threshold that is not completely flushed, providing easier, barrier-free access between indoor and outdoor spaces. 

Because every configuration shares the same underlying profile technology, offered as a four-chambered system, the strength and thermal performance stay consistent across the range regardless of which pattern is chosen.

Where uPVC Sliding Doors Work Best

The sliding door earns its place in spaces where swing clearance is unavailable and visual continuity between areas matters. uPVC sliding doors are most commonly used for balconies. The wide glass area keeps the view open, and a low threshold makes moving from indoors to the balcony feel seamless as it is near-flushed.
In living rooms, a wider upvc sliding door design with multiple panels transforms how the space connects to an adjoining terrace or garden. For bedrooms, a 2-track 2-panel configuration keeps the opening clean and compact without compromising on light. In commercial spaces, upvc doors and windows in a sliding configuration manage high foot traffic efficiently while maintaining a professional, streamlined appearance. 

Glass, Finish and Mesh Options for Sliding Doors

A sliding door’s performance depends not only on its frame but also on the specifications chosen for it. f. For any considered upvc doors and windows design, glass selection decision comes first.

For heavy daily use and larger panel sizes, upvc doors with toughened glass is the safest starting specification, since it is 4-5 times stronger than regular glass, and if it does break, it breaks into small blunt fragments to minimise injury risk. 

Where privacy matters more than an open view, upvc doors with frosted glass let daylight through while keeping the space private. They are suitable for bathrooms, private areas and office spaces. 

Where outside noise is the primary concern, upvc doors with laminated glass are the appropriate specification. Laminated glass consists of multiple glass layers bonded with a durable interlayer, giving it excellent sound reducer properties along with enhanced safety and security. 

For homes that need to address heat and noise together, upvc doors with double glazed glass are the more complete specification. Double glazed units consist of two glass panes separated by an insulating air gap, to significantly improve thermal insulation and sound reduction. 

For openings exposed to harsh sunlight, upvc doors with tinted glass and reflective glass reduce solar heat and glare while enhancing daytime privacy. Both specifications  also improve the visual appeal of building facades.

For surface finish, DecoShield brings wood grains, stone textures, and designer patterns to the door profile, ensuring the frame integrates seamlessly with the interior rather than contrasting with it.

For insect protection, upvc sliding doors with mesh are available in a pleated mesh system that folds accordion-style and glides along tracks. They are ideal for the wider panel configurations. uPVC sliding doors with mosquito net options integrate cleanly within the door frame without any visible retrofit hardware. Underneath all of these choices, co-extruded gaskets seal every joint in the frame, delivering superior sealing, noise reduction and long-term weather resistance.
