01

How sideways operation works day to day

Sideways movement is the defining action of this Siegenia door: the leaf moves laterally instead of rotating on hinges. Start by considering the intended daily use and the space around the opening, then decide whether a sliding or hinged arrangement better fits the plan.

Consider a sliding leaf where furniture or circulation makes a swinging opening impractical. Before ordering, assess the adjacent construction and wall connections, the finished floor, fixed fittings and furnishing positions. Compare these conditions with the proposed dimensions. The installation arrangement determines which clearances must be maintained around the opening.

Siegenia hardware and a high-security multipoint locking system are specified for this model, making the equipment easy to distinguish when comparing doors. Select the handle from the choices offered for the product, considering both its appearance and how it will feel in routine use.

When several opening types appear suitable, resolve the functional choice first. A sliding leaf, a hinged leaf and fixed glazing each serve a different purpose. Timber, glazing and decorative bars can then be considered without allowing appearance to outweigh the way the opening must work.

02

Timber choices, cladding and profile measurements

Four constructions are offered: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak, and oak with aluminium cladding. This provides a choice between an all-timber version and timber combined with cladding. Assess the different character of pine and oak alongside existing windows, doors, façade finishes and visible woodwork.

Cladding affects the published profile sizes. The timber frame is 184 × 45 mm, while the clad frame is 194 × 45 mm. An unclad leaf measures 78 × 68 mm; the clad leaf measures 78 × 78 mm. These figures describe the frame and leaf profiles, not the full ordered dimensions of the door.

Carry the selected profile sizes consistently into the technical work. Decide between the timber and aluminium-clad versions before completing connection details, since dimensions from one construction should not be applied to the other. Plans, enquiries and project discussions should identify the same version and component names.

Consider the door within the broader material palette. Repeating pine, oak or aluminium on other elements can create continuity, while a deliberate contrast can give the opening more emphasis. Because colour is also selectable, review the wood, cladding and finish together to ensure the combination achieves the intended result.

05

Custom dimensions and project coordination

This Siegenia door is made to the dimensions established for the project. Measurements must correspond to the actual opening and planned construction. Record width and height clearly in mm, keeping the structural opening, order size and individual profile dimensions distinct. The frame and leaf measurements given above describe components and do not replace the required overall door dimensions.

Installation holes are specified at 14 mm in diameter. That detail can support coordination, but it cannot determine the entire fastening and junction design by itself. Existing construction and site-specific conditions still govern the installation approach. Reconcile the custom door with adjoining work before ordering so every participant uses compatible dimensions.

Make sure the chosen construction appears consistently in the project information. Aluminium cladding changes the frame and leaf profile sizes compared with the all-timber version, which is important when adjoining work is determined early. Keep the material and cladding choice directly beside its applicable measurements.

For an efficient enquiry, assemble the selections in one place: measured width and height, pine or oak, clad or unclad construction, 2- or 3-pane insulating glass, the selected two-frame layout, colour and handle. Include the door's location and any neighbouring windows or doors relevant to coordination. A single summary keeps the technical and visual discussions tied to the same specification.

06

Bring the finish, handle and surrounding design together

The specification also lets you select a colour and a handle. Assess finishes in their intended surroundings, looking at the façade, room materials, neighbouring frames and other entrances. Similar tones can tie these elements together; a contrasting finish can draw attention to the opening itself. Record the selected colour alongside the other order details.

The handle affects both operation and appearance. Where adjoining doors and windows are visible together, assess the offered handle choices alongside their hardware. A consistent treatment can visually connect different opening types; a contrasting handle can instead emphasize the sliding function. Make the final decision in relation to the colour and material.

Timber is the dominant material expression on unclad pine and oak versions, while aluminium adds another visible surface to the clad constructions. Black rubber glazing seals and the chosen decorative-bar lines also contribute to the view. Studying the wood, finish, glazing divisions and handle together gives a clearer picture than selecting each detail in isolation.

For a project with several new elements, decide early which features should recur, such as the wood species, colour or a horizontal division. Functional distinctions can remain between sliding and hinged doors or fixed windows. The result can feel coordinated without suggesting that differently built or operated products are the same.

Review other doors and fixed-window options

A side-sliding door is one option for creating a passage. The range also includes inward-opening, two-leaf patio doors with tilt-and-turn operation, as well as one- and two-leaf designs that open outward. Outward-opening versions for heritage-style projects are offered too. Compare the fundamental action first: lateral travel, inward opening or outward opening.

Patio Life is another door with a sideways-moving leaf. It remains a distinct product, however, with different frame and leaf dimensions, Roto-Frank hardware, silicone seals and its own configuration choices. Review the detailed specifications of both models before deciding which sliding system to use.

Glazing does not always need to form an entrance. Fixed rectangular and round windows cannot be opened, so they serve a different function from the Siegenia sliding door. They can nevertheless repeat its material, colour or decorative-bar lines. Choose operation according to the product's role, then use shared visual details where a coordinated façade is wanted.

Open the product links below to examine each alternative on its own terms. Compare the stated opening action, materials, glazing, hardware and ordering options. Similar-looking two-frame or decorative-bar arrangements should not replace a check of the individual specification when weighing function, construction and appearance.

Request the right Siegenia sliding-door configuration

After confirming that lateral operation suits the project, define the door in a logical order. Choose pine or oak and decide whether aluminium cladding is required. Next, settle the glazing and two-frame layout, followed by the colour and handle. This sequence keeps construction requirements clear while allowing the visible details to form a coherent whole.

Our Siegenia sliding model carries CE marking and a five-year commercial warranty. Keep the precise product designation and ordered configuration in the project file. Those records should identify the timber, chosen glass assembly and layout clearly. This matters particularly when the same project contains several types of windows or doors with different specifications.

Send an enquiry once the principal project details are ready. We can match your requirements to the offered configurations and clarify product details before selection. If the opening action is still undecided, describe how the doorway is intended to function so the most relevant sliding and hinged alternatives can be compared.

What is the opening action of this Siegenia door?

The leaf moves sideways. A hinged patio-door leaf rotates inward or outward instead, so consider both the intended use and the arrangement around the opening when choosing the operating method.

Which materials are available?

Select pine or oak in either an unclad or aluminium-clad construction. Review the materials beside the project's other windows, doors and visible wood or metal finishes.

What glazing options are offered?

Choose insulating glazing with 2 panes or 3 panes. In either case, argon fills the cavity and the assembly incorporates a heat-reflective coating. A CHR spacer forms the warm edge. The glazing seals for this door are made of black rubber.

How is the door equipped and secured?

The model uses Siegenia hardware together with a high-security multipoint lock. Keep that specific equipment in view when comparing it with other sliding or patio-door products.

Can the door be produced to project dimensions?

Yes. The Siegenia sliding door is made to a custom size. Provide measurements determined for the project, with the opening, adjoining construction and actual installation conditions considered from the outset.

Are the finish and handle selectable?

Yes. In addition to the custom dimensions, you can choose the colour and handle. Consider these selections with the door material, hardware and adjoining elements to achieve the planned visual result.

Does this model carry a CE mark and a warranty?

Yes. The door is CE marked and has our five-year commercial warranty for windows and doors.

What decorative-bar layouts can be specified?

Two-frame options include clear layouts without decorative bars, designs with horizontal glass divisions, and specified combinations of horizontal and vertical bars. They range from an open appearance to a more strongly structured composition.
