Sliding Patio Doors in Enfield, London
Sliding Patio Doors in Enfield, London
From Victorian terraces in Palmers Green to modern apartments at Meridian Water, Enfield’s housing is wonderfully varied. Whether you’re in a 1930s semi in Southgate, an Edwardian villa in Winchmore Hill, or a post-war property in Edmonton, there’s one improvement that works across all these home styles: a quality set of sliding patio doors in Enfield can transform how you use your living space.
Patio doors bring natural light flooding into kitchens and living rooms, make smaller spaces feel larger, and create that indoor-outdoor connection that’s so valued in London homes. With Enfield’s gardens being more generous than in many London boroughs, sliding doors help you make the most of that outdoor space. If you’re planning an extension, renovation, or simply want to upgrade your existing doors, have a look at our range below.
Our Range of Aluminium Sliding Doors in Enfield
Slimline Sliding Patio Doors
With a super-slim 20mm frame where the panels meet, our Slimline Sliding Patio Doors are designed to create a “wall of glass” effect. They offer almost uninterrupted views of your garden, making them the ultimate choice for large-scale extensions and modern homes where light and minimalism are key.
Ultra Slim Slide and Turn Doors
These doors offer fantastic versatility. Each panel slides and pivots individually, allowing you to stack them neatly to one side for a 100% clear opening. For Enfield’s period properties, an optional heritage style with Georgian bars provides a classic look with modern thermal performance, a popular choice for those wanting to install patio doors in Enfield’s conservation areas.
A Guide to Choosing Sliding Doors for Your Enfield Property
Enfield’s housing stock ranges from Victorian-era terraces through 1930s suburbia to brand-new developments, and each type of property has different requirements. We’ve been installing patio doors Enfield wide for years. Here’s what tends to work best for the most common house types in the borough.
Doors for Enfield’s 1930s ‘Metroland’ Family Homes
The 1930s semi is absolutely everywhere in Enfield. You’ll find whole streets of them in Southgate, Oakwood, Bush Hill Park, Grange Park, and Winchmore Hill. These solid, well-proportioned homes typically have good-sized gardens, and right now there’s a huge trend for rear extensions that create large kitchen-diners. This is where our Slimline Sliding Patio Doors really come into their own.
These extensions often feature openings of three to four metres or more, and these large sliding doors can span that width beautifully. You can have three or four panels that slide smoothly past each other, creating a bright, airy space that connects the kitchen to the garden.
The slim 20mm sightlines mean you’re looking at an expanse of glass rather than chunky frames, which is exactly the modern look that works so well with these renovated properties.
Patio Doors in Enfield’s Victorian & Edwardian Houses
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill, and around Enfield Town are characterful properties with high ceilings, original features, and decent rear gardens. Many homeowners are extending these properties to create larger kitchens or open-plan living spaces. The rear openings in these terraced houses are often narrower than in later properties, typically ranging from two to three metres wide.
For these homes, our Ultra Slim Slide and Turn doors are usually the best choice. They can completely open up even a relatively narrow aperture, with all the panels sliding and stacking to one side. This gives you maximum flexibility with your space. If your property is in one of Enfield’s conservation areas, such as Gentleman’s Row or parts of Winchmore Hill, you may need to maintain a traditional appearance. Our heritage-style option with integral Georgian bars provides that period look while giving you modern thermal efficiency and security. The doors can be powder-coated in traditional colours like deep green, cream, or black to complement the existing character of your property. These aluminium sliding doors Enfield conservation officers approve of because they respect the architectural heritage while being clearly modern installations rather than fake historical replicas.
Enfield Sliding Patio Doors for Modern & New-Build Properties
Enfield’s new builds, particularly around the Meridian Water development, demand high-quality finishes throughout. Our Slimline Sliding Patio Doors fit that brief perfectly. They provide the clean, contemporary aesthetic that modern architecture calls for, with those ultra-slim frames and large panes of glass creating a minimalist look.
For modern properties, we typically recommend configurations of two to four panels depending on the opening size, often in contemporary colours like Anthracite Grey, Matt Black, or even bolder shades. The doors are also popular in renovated properties throughout the borough where homeowners are creating a contemporary style. If you’re doing a full renovation and want a consistent modern look, these sliding doors in Enfield provide that high-spec finish that matches new kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring.
FAQ for Patio Doors in Enfield
Do you fit your sliding patio doors Enfield wide?
Yes, our installation teams cover the entire London Borough of Enfield and nearby areas. We regularly fit sliding patio doors in Enfield postcodes N9, N13, N14, N18, and N21, from Enfield Town and Enfield Lock through to Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill, Southgate, Oakwood, Bush Hill Park, Grange Park, Edmonton, Ponders End, and everywhere in between. We also install patio doors in Hertfordshire, patio doors in Barnet, Haringey, and more.
What is the typical cost of patio doors in Enfield?
The price of your doors will depend on the system you choose, the size of the opening, the colour, and any optional extras. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us for a free, no-obligation survey and quote.
What is the lead time for Enfield sliding patio doors?
Our lead times are some of the best in the industry. We can typically measure, manufacture, and install your new doors within just 4 weeks from your order confirmation.
What separates the Slimline Sliding Patio Doors from the Slide and Turn doors?
The fundamental difference is in how they operate and open. Our Slimline Sliding Patio Doors work like traditional patio doors: the panels slide past each other on parallel tracks. This means at least one panel is always fixed in place, and you’re sliding the other panels across it. They’re great for wide openings and give you that classic sliding door experience with very slim frames.
With the Ultra Slim Slide and Turn doors, each individual panel can slide along and then pivot inwards or outwards, allowing all the panels to stack neatly at one side. This creates a completely clear opening with nothing in the way, almost like folding doors but smoother and with slimmer frames. The Ultra Slim doors are more versatile for different opening sizes and are available with heritage styling, while the Slimline doors are our premium option for contemporary wide openings. Both are excellent products; it’s really about what suits your property and how you want to use the doors.
Are aluminium sliding doors Enfield a better choice than uPVC?
We believe so. Aluminium is much stronger than uPVC, allowing for much slimmer frames and more glass. This provides a better view and a more contemporary look. Aluminium is also more stable in changing temperatures and extremely durable.
What frame colours do you offer?
We offer a range of popular stock colours like Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016), Black, and White. However, we can powder-coat the frames in pretty much any of the hundreds of RAL colours available, ensuring a perfect match for your existing windows or design scheme. For period properties, we often recommend traditional colours like dark green, black, or even burgundy rather than grey to better suit the architectural style.
Do you offer finance options?
Yes. We partner with Kanda to offer flexible finance plans, including 0% interest on qualifying orders. This allows you to get the doors you really want and spread the cost in a manageable way.
Can sliding patio doors be fitted in a corner configuration?
Yes, corner configurations are definitely possible and can look spectacular. In a corner installation, you’d have sliding doors on two adjacent walls that meet at a corner post, creating an L-shaped glazed area. Corner kitchen doors in kitchen extensions are especially popular.
How do these doors compare for heat retention compared to old patio doors?
The difference in thermal performance between modern aluminium sliding doors and old uPVC or aluminium patio doors is substantial. Our doors use thermally broken aluminium frames: this means there’s an insulating barrier within the frame that prevents cold transferring from outside to inside. Combined with modern double or triple glazing with argon gas filling and low-emissivity coatings, these doors have excellent U-values (the measure of heat loss). Old patio doors from the 1990s or early 2000s often have U-values of 2.5-3.0 or worse, while our modern sliding doors in Enfield achieve U-values of around 1.4-1.6, meaning they lose much less heat.
In practical terms, this means your room stays warmer in winter, you spend less on heating, and you don’t get that cold feeling near the doors on winter evenings. The better sealing also eliminates draughts.
How secure are your patio sliding doors Enfield?
Very secure. All our patio sliding doors Enfield homes are fitted with feature high-security multi-point locking mechanisms as standard, along with internally glazed panels to prevent removal from the outside.
