Crittall-style sliding doors

Why people choose sliding doors

When furniture, radiators or a staircase sit where a door would swing, sliding is the answer. The door can slide across the face of the wall on an exposed track, which is part of the look, or behind a fixed glazed panel as part of a full screen.

Where it works

• Into a study or snug off a hallway
• Between a kitchen and a utility room
• Across a wide opening between two living spaces
• To an en-suite where the room is too small for a swinging door

How much does it cost?

As a guide, sliding doors cost £2,100 to £4,400 for a typical size, fitted and including VAT. Steel-look aluminium sits at the lower end and solid steel at the upper end. Size, bar pattern, glass and doors make the difference. Use the design and price tool for your own size, or read the full cost guide.
