01

Everyday side-sliding operation

The defining feature of this Siegenia sliding door is its direction of movement: the door leaf slides horizontally to one side. Its operation therefore differs from patio doors with leaves that turn inwards or outwards. For planning, this lets you choose the door type first according to daily use and the layout of the room.

Sideways movement can be a practical choice where you do not want a leaf swinging into the room or outside. Consider the whole construction, however, rather than the movement alone. Wall junctions, adjacent components, floor build-up, furniture and fixed fittings should all be coordinated with the proposed door position. Assess specific clearances against the chosen size and the actual installation situation.

The door uses Siegenia hardware with high-security multi-point locking. The hardware and locking system are specified features of this sliding door, making them important points when comparing products. Choose the handle from the options offered for the product. Consider both its visual effect and the way you prefer to use the door every day.

Where several door types could suit your project, begin with the required movement. A side-sliding door, a hinged leaf and a fixed glazed panel serve different purposes. Only after this basic decision should you move on to material, glazing and glazing-bar design. This order prevents an aesthetic preference from outweighing the operating style that matters most in everyday use.

02

Timber species, aluminium cladding and component dimensions

This Siegenia sliding door is available in four material versions: pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. You can therefore choose solid timber construction or a combination of timber and aluminium cladding. Pine and oak each have their own design character, so make the decision alongside existing windows, doors, façade materials and visible timber finishes.

Aluminium cladding also changes the construction dimensions of the stated components. The outer frame measures 184 × 45 mm in timber and 194 × 45 mm with aluminium cladding. Without cladding, the door leaf is stated as 78 × 68 mm; with cladding it measures 78 × 78 mm. These figures refer specifically to the outer frame and door leaf, not the total size of the ordered door element.

The differing component dimensions matter when coordinating the technical design. Decide whether you require all-timber construction or aluminium cladding before finalising junction details. It would not be appropriate to transfer dimensions from one material version to another afterwards. For a clear coordination process, everyone involved should use the same selected version and the corresponding component terminology.

When selecting material, consider the door within the wider design. Repeating pine, oak or aluminium cladding on other elements can create a calm visual link. If you prefer deliberate contrast, decide which element should take priority. Since colour is also selectable, assess timber species, cladding and colour together rather than in sequence. This avoids choices that work alone but not as the intended composition.

05

Made-to-measure production and building planning

The Siegenia sliding door is available in a made-to-measure size. This requires reliable project dimensions that suit the actual opening and proposed 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 stated outer-frame and door-leaf measurements are profile or component dimensions and do not replace establishing the required overall size.

A diameter of 14 mm is stated for installation drill holes. This product detail may inform technical coordination, but it does not by itself define the complete fixing or junction design. The actual installation depends on the existing structure and project-specific details. Coordinate the made-to-measure element and adjoining construction before ordering, so that conflicting measurement bases are not used.

When planning, check that the selected material version has already been allowed for. The outer frame and door leaf have different dimensions with aluminium cladding than in the all-timber version. This difference is especially important where junctions or adjacent components are fixed early. Record the material and cladding version directly with the dimensions instead of maintaining these details in separate planning documents.

For a specific enquiry, gather every choice in one place: established 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 details of the element’s position and adjoining windows or doors where relevant to the visual coordination. This lets us discuss your selection purposefully without mixing technical and aesthetic choices.

06

Coordinate colour, handle and overall effect

Alongside the size, you can select the colour and handle for this sliding door. A good colour decision considers more than one sample area; it takes in the element’s whole setting. Façade, interior finishes, existing frames and other doors provide the visual context. Repeated colours can support a calm overall appearance, while contrast can deliberately make the sliding door an architectural feature.

The handle is both a functional touchpoint and a visible detail. Coordinate its selection with the hardware on other windows and doors where they will be seen together. A consistent approach can visually connect different opening types, whereas a contrasting handle can emphasise the sliding door’s particular function. Choose from the handles offered for this product and assess the decision together with the colour and material.

With unclad pine or oak, the timber construction is central to the material character. On clad versions, aluminium becomes an additional visible component. The black rubber glazing seals and lines of the chosen glazing-bar pattern also contribute. Consider these elements as one composition. A clear concept for base material, colour, glass division and handle generally creates the intended effect more reliably than choosing each detail in isolation.

When ordering several new elements, decide early which characteristics should be consistent throughout. These may include timber species, colour or a repeated horizontal division. Other distinctions can arise from the relevant function, such as between a sliding door, a hinged door and a non-opening window. This keeps the overall design connected without treating technically different products as identical.

Compare alternatives in the door and window range

A side-sliding door is only one possible solution for a passageway. Our range also includes double patio doors with inward-opening tilt-and-turn operation, plus single- and double-leaf variants that open outwards. Outward-opening versions are also available for heritage-oriented projects. The first comparison point is therefore the operating style: sideways sliding, inward opening or outward opening.

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

Not every glazed opening needs to provide a passage. Fixed rectangular windows and fixed round windows cannot be opened, so they fulfil a different role from the Siegenia sliding door. They can still matter to a unified façade concept through material, colour or glazing-bar lines. Separate function from appearance in your comparison: select opening style by product, while repeated design features can visually connect different components.

The linked products below help you review these differences directly. For every alternative, check the stated operating type, available materials, glazing, hardware and purchase options. When two-frame or glazing-bar patterns look similar, it is particularly worthwhile to inspect each product specification. This helps you choose not only by appearance, but by the combination of use, construction and desired design.

Enquire about the right Siegenia sliding door

If side-sliding operation suits your project, you can define the version step by step. Begin with the preferred timber species and whether you want aluminium cladding. Next come glazing and the two-frame design. Colour and handle complete the visual selection. This clear order makes it easier to separate technical requirements from purely visual preferences while still achieving a coordinated result.

The Siegenia sliding door is CE marked. It is also covered by our five-year warranty for windows and doors. Keep the clear product name and your chosen configuration with the project documentation. This makes it possible to identify which material, glass and design version is intended, especially where several different doors and windows form part of the same project.

Send us your enquiry once the key project details are known. We can help match your requirements to the available versions and answer product-specific questions before you choose. If you are still deciding between a side-sliding door and an alternative opening style, briefly describe the intended use. We can then focus the comparison on the products that are genuinely relevant.
