Aluminium Sliding Doors

Slim-framed aluminium patio doors with huge panes of glass

For the biggest glass and the slimmest frames, aluminium is king — and we supply and install the Smart Systems Visoglide Plus inline sliding door, from the UK's leading aluminium glazing systems company.

Visoglide Plus carries panes up to 2.5 metres tall and 250kg each on smooth inline or lift-and-slide running gear, with a polyamide thermal break for genuine energy efficiency and an optional 83mm slim interlock where the panels meet. The result: uninterrupted views and walls of light that uPVC simply can't match.

Our process

How we do it

Structural openings are surveyed carefully, and doors are installed, levelled and sealed by our own team — typically one to two days depending on size.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Why choose aluminium over uPVC for sliding doors? +
Aluminium's strength allows much slimmer frames and much bigger, heavier panes of glass — so more light and better views. uPVC is more economical for standard-size openings. We supply and fit both, and we'll quote honestly for your opening.
Do you offer a supply-only service? +
Yes. Made to Measure offer a supply-only service to the trade and DIY enthusiast alike. Because everything is manufactured in our own Grimsby factory we can offer excellent rates and a quick turnaround — and we stock the fitting materials you need to complete the job with the minimum of fuss.
Are your quotes really free? +
Completely. We'll measure up, talk through your options and give you a written, no-obligation quote — no pressure and no hard sell. Call 01472 241666 or use the contact form.
Who does the installation? +
Our own team. Made to Measure Window Systems is a locally run company employing all local tradesmen, and we're FENSA registered — so your installation is certified and your paperwork is taken care of.
How quickly can you turn an order around? +
Faster than most — because we manufacture our uPVC windows and doors in-house at our Grimsby factory rather than waiting on a third-party supplier. Lead times vary with the season and the product, and we'll give you an honest timescale with your quote.
