About Sliding Doors products

Sliding doors connect living rooms with patios and decks without needing clearance for a hinged door. Options include stacking and lift-and-slide configurations, with aluminium and uPVC frames suited to different glazing requirements.

A common feature in many modern homes, sliding doors are a convenient way to improve a room’s functionality, natural light and spaciousness. There are numerous styles and types to choose from including glass sliding doors and aluminium sliding doors. ArchiPro’s carefully selected range is the ultimate resource for finding and buying the best sliding doors from trusted suppliers in Australia.

Types and styles of sliding doors

It’s easy to open up your home thanks to the variety of external sliding doors available. Frameless sliding patio doors use less framing around the glass, as seen in Louvretec’s Slidetec doors and windows.

Locking sliding doors

A standard style found in many homes in Australia, the locking solution is a basic and secure option ideal for outdoor access.

Automatic sliding doors

For those looking to indulge in extra convenience, automatic models can be opened and closed at the touch of a button.

Double sliding doors

These are somewhat self-explanatory, featuring two glass panels that slide towards each other rather than one, giving a similar appearance to bifold doors.

Pocket sliding doors

Often boasting mirrored glass, these models are most commonly used for indoor spaces such as bedroom closets.

Stacking doors

Stacker doors are glass panels that slide in the same direction and overlap, giving a modern and asymmetric look.

Cavity sliding doors

Primarily used to divide internal rooms, cavity models are useful for creating privacy in open-plan or shared areas of the home.

The advantages of high-quality sliding doors

High-quality sliding doors are a great improvement to most buildings due to their many benefits. Not only does the minimalistic design give a sleek look, but it can also help a room appear more spacious. High-quality options are also made of premium materials including the best-grade glass (including double glazing in some instances) and aluminium. Sliding glass doors also offer an unobstructed view and open up the room to much more natural light than a standard door. You’ll find a wide range of configurations when looking at the best of the best with some unique designs to choose from too.

How to choose a sliding door that's right for you

Choosing the right sliding doors for your home means taking a few things into account. First is to pick the right type based on its intended purpose, be it a modern stacking door that connects your living room to your patio or a cavity sliding door for inside the home. You’ll also need to measure your space out carefully and think about the type of material you want to feature. Other features such as security, energy efficiency and aesthetics should also inform your decision as well as the ongoing maintenance requirements, whatever they may be. For a combined sliding glass door window system such as Slidetec, consider the door and window openings together when planning the glazing.

Elevate your living space with a range of doors designed for functionality and appeal. Bifold doors enhance space and natural light, French doors provide elegance and accessibility, and front doors offer vital security and aesthetic value. Hinged doors bring classic versatility, pivot doors create a bold entrance, and sliding doors maximise space with wide views. For commercial settings, choose commercial doors that combine durability and security while maintaining style.
