Ultraline Slim Sliding Aluminium Doors.

The Slimline Aluminium Windows and Doors Collection

Slimline aluminium windows and doors have become one of the most popular modern industry design trends in recent years.

With homeowners looking to maximise the amount of natural light in their properties, manufacturers have continued to push engineering boundaries to create increasingly slim profiles to meet the demands of the consumer.

What is a Slimline Aluminium Window?

Slimline Aluminium Windows consist of a drastically thinner profile with the ambition of maximising the viewing area from a larger pane of glass.

Aluminium is far more durable than rival alternatives like uPVC. This means that the homeowner reaps all the rewards of a large glass viewing space, allowing natural light to flood into their property, as well as high levels of security and thermal performance.

Why have slimline windows and doors become so popular?

One of the most common industry trends over recent years has been the desire to create a more connected living space that blends our indoor and outdoor living opportunities.

A recent study from IPA TouchPoints found that the average person spends 18 hours and 43 minutes at home per day. This is an increase of an hour and six minutes on data recorded before the 2020 lockdowns.

As we spend more time indoors, manufacturers, like AluK have been predicting a growing trend towards creating a connected indoor and outdoor living space, which could reflect the rise in popularity of the slimline style.

Aspect Windows Sales Supervisor Chris King explains why it has become such a popular choice among consumers, “The Slimline style is the most effective method of maximising the natural light you let into your property and making the most of your outside views.”

How to create the ultimate slimline collection in your home

A slimline style is now available on several different products that can be utilised throughout your home.

If you’re looking to create a cohesive slimline style in your home, we’ve created this helpful guide that details some of the most popular slimline products available.

Slimline Bi-Fold Door

The Origin OB-36+ Gallery is one of the standout choices for a slimline bi-fold door, with sightlines of just 36mm.

Both stylish and functional, the addition of bi-fold doors can elevate the living space of any property looking to achieve a more connected and accessible space.

With a clean and simple design, the Origin OB-36+ Gallery is the epitome of timeless.

Beyond its exceptional design, the Origin OB-36+ Gallery Collection is a high-performing bi-folding door built for now and the future. It is already 2025 Future Homes Standard, and through its PAS24:2022 Accreditation, you have further peace of mind.

Slimline Sliding Door

Ultraline Slim Sliding Door

Ultraline Slimline Sliding Aluminium Door.

Ultraline designed the Slim Sliding Door with one clear message in mind, “More of a view”, and they made sure it delivered that and more.

It is one of the slimmest products on the market with sightlines of just 20mm throughout the visible system. Designed with a minimalist style, it is the perfect choice for any homeowner or property where there are large openings that create the opportunity to perfectly frame your outside space.

Complementing the stunning design is an incredibly efficient Sliding Door, with U-Values between 0.7 W/m2K for the triple-glazed variant and 1.2 W/m2K for the double-glazed option.

With PAS 24:2016 certification and Part Q compliance, the Ultraline slim-line sliding door is among the leading sliding doors on the market for both security and aesthetic appearance.

Choosing between a bi-folding door and sliding door is often one of the biggest debates consumers have in renovation projects, but in scenarios like this, where you’re trying to create picturesque views, the sliding door can often come out as the most suitable choice.

Slimline Lift and Slide Door

Cortizo 4600 Plus

aluminium lift and slide doors

If you’re looking for a slimline lift and slide door to complement your wider glazing products, consider the Cortizo 4600 Plus.

Its 50mm interlock allows for the large panels of glass to take centre stage.

The combination of a sleek, slim design from Cortizo, matched with impressive thermal performance figures, makes the 4600 Plus a hugely desirable lift and slide door.

Slimline Rooflight:

Slim Roof Lantern

Glass Roof Lantern.

Our Slimline Roof Lantern is the perfect finishing touch to any property looking to let the natural light in from above.

By choosing a Slimline Roof Lantern against a traditional flat roof light, you’re adding additional height to the room and as a result, creating a larger, brighter, more open space.

Featuring an ultra-slim aluminium frame to optimise the external views, it features Marine Grade Powder Coated frames to withstand the harshest and most unpredictable weather conditions.

It is easy to clean and maintain, ensuring it is the final flourish of any contemporary renovation or extension.

Slimline Window and Door Case Study

Slim Sliding Doors helped transform this glass extension on a Grade II-listed Georgian house in Totnes.

The addition of Ultraline’s Slim Sliding Door created a functional extension that was filled with natural light and unbeatable views of their outside space.

The owners of this stunning Georgian House now enjoy near-uninterrupted views from the 20mm sightlines, in what is now a functional, inviting extension space.

"We choose Aspect Windows after much research and visiting a number of competitors. We were impressed after visiting their comprehensive showroom and being shown around their factory where they manufacture on-site. Initially we chose Aspect Windows because they’re a Reynaers at Home selected partner and we liked the CP130 Lift and Slide system. However, as our project progressed, we were delighted to find that we were able to use Aspect Windows for all our glazing requirements. It has been reassuring to use a professional company who is local to us for all our needs and keep everything under one roof so to speak. We are delighted with the end result. Well done to all the team at Aspect Windows."

Mr & Mrs Wright, Torquay

"I had chosen Aspect Windows in Exeter to supply the glazing as they had a good reputation and specialised in aluminium doors windows and curtain walling. Aspect were brilliant throughout the design and fitting process, working to incredibly tight tolerances especially on the curtain walling."

Mr Abdilla, Exeter

"The whole process has been excellent - I really appreciate the patience you've taken on what is a huge expenditure for a passion project, working with total amateurs! You've always taken the time to answer questions, explain options and crucially, make recommendations when nativity/inexperience clouds our judgement. A real skill and something I personally have really appreciated as I feel confident that we now have windows and doors that complement our house, design and style. Without that level of consultative engagement and relationship I'm confident I would have overlooked details and made a substandard decision. Thank you!"

Mrs Trestain, Padstow

"The pocket sliding door and gable look amazing, it’s an impressive bit of kit and it’s a revelation to be able to open the space up! I have to say we’ve been very impressed with all your teams positivity, professionalism and workmanship, from start to finish - so a big thank you…"

Mr Marsh, Exeter

"Just a quick note of thanks to the whole team for our fab windows and doors, we are delighted with both the product and also with the whole fitting process. The lads were brilliant (it's not often you get trades in the house who leave it cleaner at the end of the day than when they arrive in the morning!!) and just quietly got on with the job. Thank you again"

Mr & Mrs Leonard, Exeter

"I would like to thank you for the quality of the service we have received from Aspect Windows and commend you for the care and attention that we have received throughout the process. I am thoroughly pleased with our new windows and would recommend your services to anybody who asks."

Mr & Mrs Miller, Exmouth

"I wanted to just send my thanks and appreciation. We had an install approx. 6 years ago including some bi-fold doors which in recent weeks appeared to have dropped and became very difficult to lock. I called the office on Monday and a lady took my details and quickly called me back suggesting you had an engineer locally the following day. He arrived and was extremely polite and efficient and diagnosed a broken hinge. He went back to the depot collected the replacement part, then returned to Budleigh and completed the repair. We really appreciate the speed and efficiency with which you dealt with the issue and the ease from a customer perspective. "

Mr Ashby, Budleigh Salterton

"I just wanted to say thank you for the excellent service you have provided in the planning, removal & installation of our beautiful new windows and doors. We were completely amazed & delighted at the speed of which the installation took place and the hard work put in by the installation team. They worked very efficiently and communicated with me at ease through the week so I knew their plans with each room for installation. All the windows & door look great and we have already had lots of compliments. "

Mrs Oakes-Ash, Exmouth

"We would like to thank everyone at Aspect Windows for the fantastic service that we have received on our project. From start to finish, you have been so professional and we are totally thrilled with our sliding doors and our side door. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone thinking of undergoing a similar project."

Mrs Moores, Templecombe
