What factors determine the price of sliding doors?
The sliding doors you want to purchase should meet your requirements. There are a number of factors that determine the price. It is influenced by: the material, the size and the model. Below you will find an overview of the prices for each component.

2. Which model will you go for?
Sliding doors are available in different versions. The most common variants are lift&slide doors and sliding doors with a turn/tilt system. A lift-slide door is flush and is lifted from the ground before the moving part slides. A sliding door with a turn-tilt system has sliding doors. These tilt once the door handle is set in the correct position. They are available in 2, 3 or 4 sections.
A lift-slide door is the more expensive model, but it has the big advantage of being flush which makes it very practical. For a lift-slide door, you pay on average £200 to £400 more than for sliding doors with a turn-tilt system of the same dimensions.
3. Where do I have my sliding doors installed?
When having them installed, you need to pay close attention to whether you can have them placed where you want them. After all, it has to fit in the house and the foundation has to be able to handle it. If you have a sliding door installed, you may need to apply for a permit. Therefore, always check this in advance. Different prices also apply to sliding doors. Check the sliding door prices for an overview.
4. What dimensions do you choose?
The cost of sliding doors depends on the width, so sliding doors and fixed sections differ in width, but also in price. The sliding door often has a standard size of 1.2 to 1.5 metres. The fixed part, however, varies in size. This depends on your requirements. The most commonly chosen width of a fixed part are 1.5 to 2.2 metres. Prices vary greatly depending on the size. This is mainly due to the fact that more materials are needed and it takes more time to install the sliding doors if they are larger.
