It's important to lubricate your aluminium lift & slide doors regularly to keep them from getting scratched or dented. Most lubricants are made of oil, so it's easy to apply and leaves no residues behind.

Yes – expect 25-30% reduction in heat loss through the opening.

What's covered: – Free repairs for manufacturing defects – Free replacement of failed sealed glass units – Adjustment of doors if operation becomes stiff Emergency support: If your sliding door is damaged or won't close securely, we aim for same-day or next-day response across Dublin. Unlike some competitors, our guarantee is backed by 23 years of trading history in Dublin—we'll still be here when you need us.

We supply sliding doors to fit almost any rear opening: – 2-panel (one fixed, one sliding): best for 2.0m–3.0m openings — the standard Dublin semi or terrace – 3-panel: 3.0m–4.5m openings, giving roughly 50% clear opening when slid back – 4-panel or pocket-slide (aluminium): up to 6m for kitchen extensions and new builds uPVC covers most openings up to ~3m. For anything wider, or for the slimmest possible frames, aluminium lift & slide is the right system. We measure on-site and confirm the exact configuration in your quote.

It comes down to the width of your opening and how you use the room: – French doors (1.5m–2.0m): best for standard openings, period homes and tighter budgets. Both leaves open fully. From ~€1,800 + VAT. – Sliding patio doors (2.0m–6m): best for wider openings where you want maximum light and zero swing clearance. ~50% of the opening clears. From ~€1,800 (uPVC) to €4,000+ (aluminium). – Bifold doors: fold back to clear almost the entire opening, but have more frame and visible mullions than a slider when closed. For a side-by-side breakdown see our French doors vs patio doors guide. We'll quote whichever suits your opening — no upsell.

Yes — A-rated external sliding doors qualify for the SEAI Better Energy Homes grant of up to €800 per door (max two doors per home) on eligible homes built before 2011 with adequate insulation. Every sliding door we fit meets the required U-value (≤1.4 W/m²K), and Airtight is an SEAI-registered installer, which is required for your upgrade to qualify. We'll confirm eligibility on the survey before quoting.

Thresholds: standard upstand or a low-level threshold for near-flush access — ideal with underfloor heating, prams or wheelchair access. Glass: toughened safety glass as standard; solar-control glass to cut summer heat gain on south-facing gardens; acoustic glass for homes near busy roads. Double or triple glazing on every system.

Manufacturing is typically 4–6 weeks (uPVC) or 6–8 weeks (aluminium lift & slide), as each door is built to your exact measurements. Installation itself takes one day for uPVC and one to two days for wide aluminium spans, including removal and disposal of your old doors and full site clean-up.
