If you’re investing in sliding doors, the chances are you’ve come across the beautiful aluminium sliders crafted by Origin. Renowned for their high-quality sliding door systems, Origin has a range of designs to help property owners meet specific needs and preferences. By considering factors like space, aesthetics and functionality, you can create a door configuration that enhances the beauty and functionality of your rooms.

Here’s an insight into some of the options available.

What is a sliding door configuration?

A sliding door configuration is the term used to describe the layout and design chosen to suit a particular space. These configurations are crucial in determining how the sliding sashes will operate, open, close and integrate with your living areas.

Choosing the right sliding door layout can significantly impact the look, functionality and overall flow of your spaces, so it’s important to make an informed choice when customising the design. You’ll need to think about the number of fixed and sliding panels you want and how this will work within the space you have.

How do you design the best sliding door configuration for your property?

Designing the perfect sliding door configuration means considering several factors, including your available space and layout choices. You’ll need to accurately measure the size of the aperture where you plan to fit the doors and the surrounding area, considering both single sliders and multi-panel designs.

For example, you may want to keep things simple with a 2-panel configuration. Or, if your aim is to bridge the gap between indoors and out with a wide ‘glass wall’ effect, multiple moving sashes could be the best option.

What sliding door configurations does Origin offer?

Origin sliding doors offer several different options to help you find the right design for your space, available in 2 to 6 sashes. Two-door sliders feature one panel that moves left or right while the other panel stays in place (fixed). Alternatively, both doors can slide and open in the middle.

If you choose to have more than two sashes for your sliding doors, you can also opt to have all the door leaves move along in tracks if you don’t want any fixed panes. This means the panels may be able to stack neatly behind each other along three tracks to maximise the opening width. Some setups will include central interlocking if you want to open the sliders at the mid-point of your chosen configuration.

Are there different panel choices for Origin sliders?

Origin has different panel options to offer you the sightlines you desire. This includes their contemporary OS-20 Artisan Slider made from premium-grade aluminium. Ultra-slim sightlines of just 20mm allow you to create panoramic views.

However, they also have two Origin Patio Slider designs with their OS-44 and OS-77 ranges, with 44mm and 77mm sightlines respectively.
