Wooden Tilt and Slide Patio Door

The patio doors are available in a wide range of configurations, allowing it to be tailored to the size of the opening and the way that the room will be used.

It uses the same system as our tilt and turn window allowing for window sashes and door leaves to be combined in any format required. The doors can either be tilt and slide or fixed and the window sashes can either be fixed, tilt & turn, turn only or tilt only. Please see below for a few suggestions.

We have a wide range of design options, including frame profiles, glazing bars and frame features, allowing you to customise the design to your requirements.

Glazing Bead and Sash Bar Options

Beading

Our beads are available as Standard, Ovolo and Pencil Round. All sashes in the traditional range are beaded internally to improve security and weather performance and result in a door with longer life.

Glazing Bars

This is matched with the outside sash profile and internal glazing bead. They come with an internal glazing bar as standard.

Solid Glazing Bar

These are available in any layout and are specified at 43mm wide as standard. This can be increased if required.

Using high quality ironmongery, George Barnsdale patio doors can be supplied with a wide range of standard finishes and options, all of which are compatible with our high performance Euro-profile locking system.

Roto Handle

Due to the multi-locking and multi-position features of the sliding patio doorset it is necessary to have a handle design that allows these operations to be performed simply and effortlessly. The handles are offered in a wide range of colours to match the building and other windows and doors installed.

Roto Handle with Escutcheon

Due to the multi-locking and multi-position features of the sliding patio doorset it is necessary to have a handle design that allows these operations to be performed simply and effortlessly. The handles are offered in a wide range of colours to match the building and other windows and doors installed.

Handle Positions for Tilt and Slide Patio Doors

The locking system allows for both door positions to be controlled by the handle being turned to a different position. The first position allows for the sash to be tilted into the vent position and the second allows the door to slide open.

We provide a comprehensive range of glazing options which can be customised for specific applications.

Glass

We also have a wide range of options to suit any special requirements you may have including:

Toughened Safety Glass: Toughening process increases strength and safety.

Laminated Security Glass: Laminate provides additional security over a toughened unit.

Acoustic Glass: Increases already high level of sound insulation using specialist laminates and thicker glass.

Solar Control Glass: Allows the heat gain from the sun to be matched to the requirements of a building.

Obscure Glass

We have a wide choice of obscure patterned glass available, all of which have different options which provide optimised performances.

Five levels of privacy are available, graded from 1 (least obscuration) to 5 (greatest obscuration).

The following traditional patterns can be selected to match existing glass.A range of etched glass is available in the following Oriel range, each design also has a diffused glass option.

Our patio doors are manufactured from engineered certified Redwood Woodheart® as standard. We also have a range of hardwoods and Accoya modified timber to choose from.

Redwood WoodHeart®

As standard all frames and window sashes are manufactured from Redwood WoodHeart®, the heartwood taken from Nordic Scots pine trees (see diagram). By utilising this heartwood, we get very good durability and dimensional stability, as well as very good thermal performance.

The reduced moisture uptake and increased stability of the timber produces a substrate which enhances the coating life span (this is key to a long life window because if the coating remains intact the window will last indefinitely).

In addition it is engineered to be knot free, which along with the aesthetic effect, also prevents resin exudation, which will damage the coating.

The cill on sliding sash windows and the cill extensions on all products (if required) are, due to increased exposure to weathering (both water and UV light), manufactured from FSC sourced hardwood.

Other Options

It is possible to supply our products complete in Redwood WoodHeart® (usually only if a transparent finish is required) and in addition the following four timber options.

Red Grandis

Red Grandis provides a stable and durable substrate and is supplied as a three ply laminated material for extra stability. It is available in long, clear lengths making it highly suitable for stain finishes where no finger joints are preferred.

European Oak

In the past, high quality windows have been made from European Oak due to its durability. However, it has a tendency to move which can cause failure of the coating system and the insulating glass units. To overcome these problems we use knot free laminated European Oak which has FSC Chain of Custody.

Accoya

Accoya is an exceptionally stable modified timber and has the highest durability rating. It provides the ultimate substrate for our coating system allowing us to give a coatings warranty of up to 12 years. Accoya also comes with FSC Chain of Custody.

Sapele

Sapele is a very stable and durable tropical hardwood that is very well suited to joinery manufacture. It’s dark and dense characteristics make it a very attractive timber, well suited to a transparent coating. We source this with FSC certification to ensure it is from sustainable, certified sources.

Our advanced coating system has been developed to provide maximum protection to the timber, whilst allowing it to breathe and let its natural characteristics show through.

This allows us to give a 10 year guarantee on paint finish (a 25 year guarantee may also be available – please contact us for more information).

The coating system is vitally important for the longevity of timber windows and doors. It essentially serves three purposes; to prevent UV and visible light damage to the timber surface, to slow down the rate at which moisture is absorbed and released from the timber and to provide an attractive colouring and surface finish to the product.

Opaque Paint

We can provide almost any opaque colour, all we require is a RAL Standard, RAL Design, Natural Colour System (NCS) or British Standard (BS 4800) colour or an actual sample. View our Coating System Guarantee brochure.

Translucent Paint

We can provide almost any translucent colour, all we require is a RAL Standard, RAL Design, Natural Colour System (NCS) or British Standard (BS 4800) colour or an actual sample. View our Coating System Guarantee brochure.

Dual Colour

We can provide dual colour windows and doors with a different colour inside to out or frame to sash. This also allows for the frame and sash to have a different dual colour specification if required.
