When it comes to modern home design, few features make a statement quite like ultra slim sliding doors. With their sleek sightlines, wide glass panels, and seamless connection between inside and out, they’re quickly becoming a favourite choice for homeowners who want to combine contemporary style with everyday practicality.
At Open Space Aluminium Ltd, we specialise in premium aluminium sliding doors that redefine what’s possible for your home — maximising light, space, and views while maintaining excellent insulation and security.
What Are Ultra Slim Sliding Doors?
Ultra slim sliding doors are a modern evolution of the traditional patio door. Instead of bulky frames and limited glass area, they feature minimal aluminium sightlines — often as thin as 20mm to 30mm — allowing for vast expanses of uninterrupted glass.
This minimalistic frame design means your view takes centre stage. Whether you’re looking out onto a manicured garden, a cityscape, or the countryside, slimline sliding doors create a near-frameless effect that makes your living space feel larger, brighter, and more connected to nature.
The Benefits of Aluminium Sliding Doors
1. More Natural Light
The beauty of ultra slim aluminium doors lies in their ability to flood your home with natural light. The narrow frame profiles mean more glass and less obstruction, creating an airy, open atmosphere all year round.
2. Sleek and Contemporary Aesthetics
Aluminium offers a clean, modern finish that complements a wide range of architectural styles. Whether your home is a new build or a traditional property undergoing renovation, minimal frame doors can be tailored in colour, finish, and configuration to suit your design vision.
3. Exceptional Strength and Durability
Despite their slim appearance, aluminium frames are incredibly strong. This allows for large panel sizes — sometimes up to 3 metres high or more — without compromising on structural integrity. Unlike uPVC or timber, aluminium won’t warp, rot, or fade, making it a low-maintenance option that looks stunning for decades.
4. Smooth Operation
Thanks to precision-engineered tracks and high-quality rollers, slimline sliding doors glide open effortlessly. Even large panels can be moved with a single hand, providing easy access to patios, gardens, or balconies.
5. Thermal Efficiency and Weather Resistance
Modern aluminium sliding doors include advanced thermal breaks, ensuring excellent insulation performance. Combined with high-performance double or triple glazing, they help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while reducing energy bills.
Weather sealing and drainage systems also protect your home from wind and rain, meaning your doors will perform beautifully all year round.
6. Enhanced Security
Homeowners can rest easy knowing their ultra slim sliding doors come with multi-point locking systems, toughened safety glass, and robust frame construction. At Open Space Aluminium, we only supply doors that meet or exceed UK security standards.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
One of the main reasons homeowners choose minimal frame sliding doors is the way they create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. When opened, the panels slide smoothly to one side, creating a wide, unobstructed opening that extends your living space onto the patio or garden.
Pairing this with a low threshold track allows for a flush transition between rooms — perfect for summer entertaining, family gatherings, or simply relaxing with the doors open on a warm day.

Every home is unique, and so are your doors. At Open Space Aluminium Ltd, we offer:
Bespoke sizes to suit your space and vision.

A wide range of powder-coated finishes, from classic black and anthracite grey to custom colours.
