Aluminium Sliding Door for Premium Timber Structures

The ALU-SLD-1 is a two-leaf aluminium sliding door for timber garden buildings, summerhouses, and premium outdoor structures. Combining a robust aluminium frame with a spruce casing and rubber sealants, it delivers both visual appeal and reliable weather performance.

Aluminium Precision & Timber Character

The frame and sliding leaves are constructed from robust aluminium and finished in RAL7016 anthracite grey — a contemporary tone that complements modern timber cladding and log cabin exteriors. The spruce casing with rubber sealants bridges the gap between the aluminium door system and the timber building envelope.

Designed for Garden Building Professionals

With an overall opening width of 2160mm and a height of 2072mm, the ALU-SLD-1 creates a generous access point into wooden buildings. The two-panel sliding configuration maximises usable wall space and provides a wide, unobstructed opening — ideal for creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

The door is delivered as part of Dadsons’ standard flat-pack kit system, with CNC-precision components clearly labelled for efficient on-site installation. It is compatible with a wide range of Dadsons timber building systems.

Why choose Sliding Door ALU-SLD-1?

Robust Aluminium Construction

The frame and both sliding leaves are manufactured from robust aluminium and finished in RAL7016 anthracite grey. This ensures long-term structural integrity with minimal maintenance, even in exposed outdoor settings.

Tempered Safety Glass

4mm tempered clear glass panels provide impact resistance and comply with safety requirements for large-format glazed openings. The clear specification maximises light transmission and maintains open sightlines between interior and exterior.

Timber-Compatible Spruce Casing

The spruce casing with integrated rubber sealants matches with log cabin and timber frame wall profiles. This hybrid aluminium-timber detail eliminates draughts and provides a professional appearance.

Wide Two-Panel Sliding Configuration

The two-leaf sliding mechanism delivers a clear opening width of 1970mm — maximising access while keeping the door system entirely within the wall plane. No swing space is required, making it ideal for terraces, covered lounge areas, and compact floor plans.
