Ultra-slim framed sliding doors

The SUNFLEX UK range of ultra-slim sliding doors combines narrow sightlines with advanced engineering and smooth operation to create the perfect system for large glazed openings.

The SVG20, with incredibly thin 20mm sightlines, and the SVG30, with slender 30mm intermediate frames, provide a genuine slim framed system whichever angle you view the doors from, making the system ideal for breaking down the boundaries between inside and out and flooding your home full of natural light.

The versatile design of the systems allows for large panels up to 3 metres wide while maintaining the ease of use, advanced security and superior product quality for which SUNFLEX UK products are renowned.

Every SUNFLEX UK sliding door is manufactured by hand in our own factory, ensuring the performance you would expect of a SUNFLEX UK system.

Key design features

KEY FEATURE 1
Not a bonded sliding door

Unlike almost every other ultra-slim sliding door system on the market, the SUNFLEX UK SVG20 and SVG30 systems ARE NOT manufactured with fully bonded glazing.

Whilst structurally bonded systems can achieve narrow sightlines, permanently gluing (or bonding) the glass to the frame means that should the glass ever break you would need to replace the whole panel and not just the glass – something that may not be covered by your home insurance policy.

SUNFLEX UK sliding doors are designed to allow for the glazing to be removed, providing you with complete peace of mind for years to come. For more information about the risks associated with full-bonded sliding doors read our blog.

KEY FEATURE 2
Flush stacking panels

The SUNFLEX UK range of SVG aluminium sliding doors can be designed with an innovative flush stacking detail, where all the panels slide neatly behind the next to create a contemporary appearance when the doors are opened.

Not only does this create aesthetic appeal, it also maximises the space that is provided when the doors are slid back – perfect for breaking down the boundaries between your home and garden.

KEY FEATURE 3
Slim from any angle

Designed without the need of external reinforcing profile or a chunky frame that extends away from the glass, our SVG aluminium sliding doors look slim from any angle – not just when viewed from straight-on – allowing you to make the most of your views out, wherever you are looking at them from.

Whether you opt for the SVG20 (20mm profile width) or SVG30 (30mm profile width), the panels offer the same slender 59mm frame depths for a stylish, contemporary look.

KEY FEATURE 4
Complete peace of mind

We understand that making decisions on which sliding door system to choose for your home can be a challenge, especially when the products themselves may (at first glance) look somewhat similar.

For 25 years SUNFLEX UK has designed and manufactured some of the most advanced aluminium doors systems on the market and we work closely with a hand-selected network of distributors across the UK to ensure the best possible service and complete peace of mind.

KEY FEATURE 5
Advanced performance

Our sliding doors don’t just look good, they are engineered to operate effortlessly time-after-time, year-after-year in even the most demanding of locations.

From picturesque coastal settings to exposed rural spots, our doors can withstand the British climate all year round and this performance is backed up by independent testing standards for air permeability, water tightness and wind loading.

KEY FEATURE 6
Attention to detail

“It is all the little details that make a big difference”

SUNFLEX UK sliding doors are designed with attention to detail that make all the difference to your finished home. From 4-panel systems where 3 panels slide to one end, to colour-matched tread plates that cover unused elements of track to provide a seamless transition between inside and out and even the stainless steel running gear that ensures even the largest doors are easy to operate, our sliding doors set the standard for quality.

For more than 20 years our in-house research and development team have constantly developed and updated our doors and it’s the little things that go a long way to creating the perfect sliding door system.

KEY FEATURE 7
Your doors, your way

We understand that every home is different which is why our SVG sliding doors our bespoke made to meet your requirements.

Customising your doors allows you to choose from the widest range of configuration options of any sliding door system on the market – from a single panel pocket door all the way up to an 8-panel, centre-opening set – add fixed frames alongside or above the doors, select from more than 200 RAL colours, or finish your doors off with a range of stylish handle designs – your doors, your way.

KEY FEATURE 8
Security as standard

Our SVG sliding doors are fitted as standard with a continuous 6-point locking mechanisms and 6-pin anti-bump, anti-snap and anti-drill cylinders.

Our doors hold the prestigious Secured by Design™ award as well as being and PAS 24 compliant – meeting the security requirements of Building Regulations Part Q when installed with laminated glass

KEY FEATURE 9
Effortless Operation

Over the past 25 years of developing sliding doors we have learned that one of the most crucial parts of any sliding door is the wheel carriage and what it is made of.

Using nylon wheels, which some sliding door systems on the market do, can make doors much harder to operate and can, with the weight of the glass, lead to wheels deforming over time. The SVG20 and SVG30 are manufactured using 4 wheels on each running carriage, with the wheels made of stainless steel which run on a stainless steel track, perfect for effortless operation – time after time, year after year.
