Aluminium Sliders Catch Up With Bifolds as Homeowner Tastes Evolve

Based on quoting activity from hundreds of installers using the Tommy Trinder platform, aluminium sliding doors have steadily gained ground over the past two years and have now reached parity with bifolds.

The trend reflects a broader maturation of the aluminium market. Once regarded as a specialist product, aluminium is now firmly mainstream, with more installers offering comprehensive aluminium ranges than ever before.

The figures also underline the importance of presentation during the sales process. Premium products, like aluminium sliding doors continue to perform strongly when homeowners can properly visualise them.

For installers, the message is clear: aluminium bifolds remain hugely popular, but sliding doors are no longer the challenger. Today, they're an equal player in the premium patio market.
