Patio Doors in Chelmsford for All Property Types
Patio Doors in Chelmsford for All Property Types
For homeowners in Essex, the kitchen has become the heart of the home, and the garden an extra room. In Chelmsford, we are seeing a massive shift towards open-plan living, where the barrier between inside and out is dissolved.
If you are looking for quality patio doors in Chelmsford, we have the systems to improve your living space. Whether you are in a quiet cul-de-sac or right in the middle of town, the right glazing can change the way you use your home.
Our Sliding Patio Door Systems
Slimline Sliding Patio Doors
These are our flagship aluminium doors for wide openings. The Slimline Sliding Patio Doors boast an incredibly thin 20mm interlock (the bit where the doors meet). This means you get panoramic views and floods of natural light. They are ideal for openings of 3.5m wide and upwards, offering a sleek, architectural look.
Ultra Slim Slide and Turn Doors
If you want the ability to completely open up a wall, these are the solution. The Ultra Slim Slide and Turn Doors consist of individual panels that slide along a track and pivot open at the end, stacking neatly to the side. They are incredibly adaptable and work brilliantly in openings of any size, from small 2-panel replacements to large multi-panel screens.
Advice on Choosing Patio Doors for a Home in Chelmsford
Chelmsford’s housing stock is incredibly varied. We have installed sliding patio doors in Chelmsford properties ranging from listed buildings to ultra-modern apartments. Here is our advice on what works best where.
Victorian & Edwardian Semis (e.g. Old Moulsham)
These properties are beautiful but can be narrow. If you are renovating the back of a Victorian semi, space is often at a premium. We usually recommend the Ultra Slim Slide and Turn Doors here.
Why? Because unlike a standard slider where one door must stay fixed, these doors stack fully out of the way. This allows you to open up the entire rear of a kitchen to a courtyard garden, making both spaces feel twice as big. The option for Georgian bars also helps the doors blend in with existing sash windows.
1990s-2000s Housing Developments (e.g. Chelmer Village)
Homes in areas like Chelmer Village often have standard sliding doors or French doors that are now showing their age. These homes usually have wider gardens and brickwork capable of supporting larger lintels.
For these homes, upgrading to sliding doors in Chelmsford using either our Ultra Slim Slide and Turn Doors or Slimline Sliding Patio Doors is a great choice. Replacing a clunky old white uPVC set with sleek, dark grey aluminium frames instantly modernises the house and improves thermal efficiency.
Large Detached Refurbishments (e.g., Broomfield)
We are seeing many large detached homes in Broomfield undergoing total refurbishment. These projects often involve knocking through rooms to create a huge “super room” at the back of the house.
For these grand designs, the Slimline Sliding Patio Doors are unmatched. We can install them in configurations up to 6 panels wide. This creates a spectacular glass wall that serves as the focal point of the renovation.
FAQ for Patio Doors in Chelmsford
Are these doors suitable for a north-facing garden?
Yes. Many homes in Chelmsford have north or east-facing gardens that lose the sun in the afternoon. Our patio doors in Chelmsford installations use high-quality glass that retains heat, ensuring your room stays warm even if it doesn’t get direct sunlight all day.
Can I match the colour to my existing windows?
We certainly can. While Anthracite Grey and Black are the most popular choices for sliding patio doors Chelmsford residents choose, we can powder coat the frames in almost any RAL colour to match your current windows.
What is the lead time for installation?
Typically, from the point of order, we can install within 4 weeks. We make the process of getting patio doors in Chelmsford as quick and disruption-free as possible.
Why should I choose aluminium over uPVC?
Aluminium is stronger, meaning we can make the frames thinner (giving you more light). It is also more durable and doesn’t expand and contract in the heat like plastic does, which ensures your doors slide smoothly for decades.
Do you offer integral blinds?
Yes, we offer integrated blinds for our Ultra Slim Slide and Turn Doors. These are sealed inside the glass unit, so they never get dusty and never need cleaning. They are available in a wide range of colours.
