Wandsworth Adds Light with Aluminium Sliding Doors

A project note on using large aluminium sliders to bring more light into a Wandsworth home. The most successful projects make these choices early, before the opening, threshold and surrounding finishes are fixed.

Astragal looks at the property type, the sightlines, the access requirements and the performance target together. That avoids the common problem of selecting a product that looks right in isolation but does not sit comfortably in the building.

For aluminium systems, the details that matter are usually the quiet ones: frame proportion, glass size, finish, drainage, hardware and how the installation meets existing fabric.
