Sliding/folding in Kensington

Sliding/folding aluminium doors suit projects where the aperture needs to open almost completely while keeping a clean, architectural frame line when closed.

On Kensington projects, sliding/folding are usually specified around the existing aperture, the surrounding materials and how the room will be used. Kensington's stucco terraces and mansion blocks need carefully proportioned sash windows, slim glazing bars and entrance doors that match the rhythm of the surrounding street. Astragal Doors and Windows surveys each opening before quoting so the system, sightlines and finish are right for the property — not a default from a catalogue.

Kensington's conservation areas and listed buildings drive a timber-first approach, with slimline double glazing where performance upgrades are needed.
