What colours are the Ultraline Slim Sliding door available in?

The Ultraline Slim Sliding door is available in four different colours:

  • Brushed Platinum (Anodised)
  • RAL 7016 Matt Anthracite Grey (PPC)
  • RAL 7021 Matt Black Grey (PPC)
  • RAL 9005 Matt Jet Black (PPC)

All of the doors are finished to a marine-grade standard (60 microns). This is essential for properties located within three miles of a coastal location to protect the frames from the harsh elements and ensure longevity.

All polyester powder coated (PPC) colours are Matt at 30% gloss level.


What different glass specs are available with the Ultraline Slim Sliding door?

There are two different glass specs in either double or triple glazing, standard and solar control.

The standard double-glazed units are high-performance, low-E coated, argon-filled units with black warm-edge composite spacer bars.

The solar control glass will reflect and filter the sun’s rays, allowing natural daylight into the room while reducing glare and heat gain, creating a comfortable internal environment.

Both glass options are made with toughened safety glass.

Product details

What warranty period is offered, and does this cover coastal locations?

Ultraline offer a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty, which covers defects in the surface finish, glass, and mechanical parts (including electrical locks, keeps and hinges).

Installations within 3 miles of a body of salt water i.e. coastal locations or estuaries, are also covered by the warranty, as long as a maintenance plan with a log is adhered to.

Full details of the warranty Ultraline offers can be downloaded from the Aftersales care portal.


What are the sight lines of the Ultraline Slim Sliding Door? How thin is the frame?

The Ultraline Slim Sliding Door’s advanced design and engineering offer a 20mm sight line throughout the visible system when installed. One of the slimmest sliding doors available.

The centre interlock has a sight-line of 20mm, with the side/head of the outer frame being 50mm. However, when installed, 40mm of the outer frames are concealed, meaning that only 20mm of the frame all the way around is visible, allowing you to create perfect symmetry.


Can I have trickle vents in the Ultraline Slim Sliding Door?

Due to the slim sight lines of the Ultraline Slim Sliding Door, it is not possible to have trickle vents.

However, it is possible to lock the door in a semi-open position of 100mm, to ventilate the room without compromising on security.


Are the doors compliant with PAS 24:2016 and Document Q?

The Ultraline Slim Sliding Door is PAS 24:2016 accredited, thanks to the robustness and strength of the locking system.
