01

Everyday side-sliding operation

This Siegenia sliding door is defined by its direction of travel: the leaf slides to one side. It therefore works differently from patio doors whose leaves turn inwards or outwards. For planning, start by selecting the door type according to everyday use and the arrangement of the space.

A sideways-moving leaf can suit a layout where a swinging door is not wanted within the room or outside it. Assess the whole construction, not only the direction of movement. Coordinate wall junctions, neighbouring building elements, floor build-up, furniture and fixed fittings with the proposed door position. Required clearances always depend on the selected size and the actual installation conditions.

Siegenia hardware with high-security multipoint locking is used for operation. The hardware and locking system are specified features of this sliding door, making them important comparison points. Select a handle from the options offered for this product, considering both its visual effect and the way you prefer to use it day to day.

Where more than one door type could suit your project, begin with the required opening action. A side-sliding door, a hinged leaf and fixed glazing perform different roles. Only then move on to material, glazing and bar layout. This order prevents a purely visual preference from overshadowing the operating choice that matters most in daily use.

02

Timber, aluminium cladding and component dimensions

This Siegenia sliding door is offered in four material versions: pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak, and aluminium-clad oak. You can therefore choose all-timber construction or timber combined with aluminium cladding. Pine and oak have distinct visual characters, so assess them alongside existing windows, doors, façade materials and visible timber surfaces rather than in isolation.

Aluminium cladding also changes the published dimensions of the specified components. The outer frame measures 184 × 45 mm in timber and 194 × 45 mm with aluminium cladding. Without cladding, the door leaf is 78 × 68 mm; with cladding, it is 78 × 78 mm. These are expressly outer-frame and leaf dimensions, not the overall dimensions of the ordered door unit.

These different component dimensions matter when coordinating the project technically. Decide whether you need an all-timber version or aluminium cladding before finalising junction details. It would not be appropriate to carry dimensions from one material version over to another. For clear coordination, everyone involved should use the same selected version and the associated component descriptions.

Material selection can also support the look of the wider project. Repeating pine, oak or aluminium cladding on other elements can create a calm visual connection. Where contrast is intentional, decide which element should take visual priority. As colour is also selectable, consider timber species, cladding option and colour together, rather than one after another, to avoid individually sensible choices that do not work well as a whole.

05

Made-to-measure sizing and construction planning

The Siegenia sliding door is available in made-to-measure sizes. This requires reliable project measurements suited to the actual opening and intended build-up. Clearly identify width and height and document them in millimetres. Distinguish between the structural opening, order size and dimensions of individual components. The outer-frame and leaf figures above are profile or component dimensions; they do not replace establishing the required overall size.

Installation holes are specified at 14 mm diameter. This product detail can inform technical coordination, but does not by itself determine the complete fixing or junction design. The installation depends on the existing structure and project-specific details. Coordinate the made-to-measure unit with adjoining construction before ordering so conflicting measurement bases are avoided.

During planning, check that the selected material version has already been allowed for. Outer frame and leaf dimensions differ between aluminium-clad and all-timber versions. This difference matters particularly where junctions or adjoining components are fixed early. Record the timber and cladding choice alongside the measurements instead of keeping that information in separate planning records.

For a detailed enquiry, gather every selection in one place: confirmed width and height; pine or oak; with or without aluminium cladding; a 2- or 3-pane insulated glass unit; the preferred two-frame design; colour; and handle. Add the element’s location and information on adjoining windows or doors where this helps visual coordination. We can then discuss the product selection clearly, without blending technical and aesthetic decisions.

06

Coordinate colour, handle and overall effect

Along with size, this sliding door can be specified with a colour and handle. Select colour in relation to the complete setting, rather than from one sample alone. The façade, interior finishes, existing frames and other doors provide the visual context. Repeated tones can create a calm overall result, while contrast can deliberately make the sliding door an architectural feature.

The handle is both a functional touchpoint and a visible detail. Coordinate it with hardware on other windows and doors when they will be seen together. A consistent choice can visually connect different opening methods, whereas a contrasting handle can emphasise the special role of the sliding door. Choose only from the handle options offered for this product and assess the decision with colour and material.

With unclad pine or oak, timber is central to the material expression. In clad versions, aluminium becomes an additional visible component. Black rubber glazing seals and the lines of the selected bar pattern also contribute. Consider these elements as one composition. A clear approach covering base material, colour, glass division and handle usually produces a more coherent result than choosing each detail separately.

If several new elements are being ordered, decide early which characteristics should remain consistent. These may include timber species, colour or repeated horizontal divisions. Other differences can arise from each product’s function, for example between a sliding door, hinged door and non-opening window. This keeps the overall appearance connected without treating technically different products as identical.

Compare alternatives in the door and window range

A side-sliding door is one possible solution for a transition. Our range also includes inward-opening double patio doors with tilt-and-turn operation, plus single- and double-leaf versions that open outwards. Outward-opening options are also available for historically styled projects. The first comparison point is therefore operation: sliding sideways, opening inwards or opening outwards.

A Patio Life model is another sliding-door option with a leaf that also moves sideways. Despite this related movement, it is a separate product with different outer-frame and leaf dimensions, Roto-Frank hardware, silicone seals and its own choices. Compare the specific equipment of both models before choosing a sliding door.

Not every glazed opening needs to provide access. Fixed rectangular windows and fixed round windows cannot be opened, so they serve a different purpose from the Siegenia sliding door. They can still matter visually within a coordinated façade, through material, colour or bar lines. Separate function from appearance when comparing: choose the opening type for the product, while recurring design features can visually link different components.

The linked products below let you examine these differences directly. For each alternative, check the stated opening action, available materials, glazing, hardware and purchase options. Even where two-frame or bar patterns look similar, review the individual product specification. This helps you choose by the combined requirements of use, construction and desired appearance, rather than appearance alone.

Enquire about the right Siegenia sliding door

If side-sliding operation suits your project, refine the specification step by step. Start with the preferred timber and whether aluminium cladding is wanted. Then select glazing and the two-frame design. Colour and handle complete the visual selection. This sequence makes it easier to separate technical choices from purely visual preferences while still developing a coordinated result.

The Siegenia sliding door is CE marked and carries our five-year commercial warranty for windows and doors. Where Australian Consumer Law applies, its consumer guarantees remain in addition to this warranty. Keep the exact product name and selected configuration with your project documents. This records the intended material, glazing and design version, especially when several different doors and windows form part of one project.

Send an enquiry once the key project details are confirmed. We can help match your requirements to the available versions and answer product-specific questions before selection. If you are still deciding between a side-sliding door and another opening type, briefly tell us how the door will be used. We can then focus the comparison on the products that genuinely matter.

How does this Siegenia sliding door open?

The door leaf slides sideways. This differs from patio doors with hinged leaves that open inwards or outwards, helping you select the right door type for the intended use and room arrangement.

Which materials are available?

Choose pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak or aluminium-clad oak. This lets you coordinate the door visually with other windows, doors and visible timber or aluminium surfaces in your project.

Which glazing can I choose?

2- or 3-pane insulated glass units are available. Both have a heat-reflective coating, warm-edge spacer (CHR) and argon gas fill. This sliding door uses black rubber glazing seals.

What hardware and locking does the door have?

The door has Siegenia hardware and high-security multipoint locking. This hardware specification belongs specifically to this model and should be considered when comparing differently equipped patio or sliding doors.

Can the Siegenia sliding door be made to measure?

Yes. The Siegenia sliding door is available in made-to-measure sizes. An enquiry requires measurements established for your project; construction junctions and the installation situation should be included in planning from the outset.

Can I choose the colour and handle?

Yes. Along with the made-to-measure size, you can select a colour and handle. Consider these choices together so the door, hardware and adjoining elements create a visually coherent whole.

Is the door CE marked, and how long is the warranty?

Yes. The Siegenia sliding door is CE marked and carries our five-year commercial warranty for windows and doors. Where Australian Consumer Law applies, its consumer guarantees remain in addition to this warranty.

Which bar layouts are available?

Choose two-frame configurations without decorative bars, with horizontal glazing bars, or with set combinations of horizontal and vertical decorative bars. The available patterns help you select a clean or more divided appearance.
