Why Reynaers sliding doors are some of the best
Reynaers, an aluminium system company, has been around for a very long time, and their products are widely used, specified by architects and chosen by discerning homeowners for their reputation. At the same time, such is the design flexibility of many Reynaers products that there aren’t many projects for which the brand doesn’t provide a solution.
Another peace of mind reason to choose Reynaers sliding doors is the quality of the manufacturer and installer network. Most companies providing Reynaers doors or windows do so because the brand aligns with their business values; high quality products, aluminium expertise and great service.
Reynaers is the system company designing and testing the products. They supply their aluminium profiles and accessories to a nationwide network of trained and approved manufacturers. These manufacturers either make and fit the products directly for the end user. Other Reynaers manufacturers are set up to supply ready-made Reynaers windows and doors only to quality home improvement firms that don’t manufacture but want to sell the brand.
This article focuses on the range available, what each model is best for and the project types they suit.

The Reynaers range of sliding patio doors

There are also ultra-modern products designed for new build openings. Reynaers sliding doors also offer a choice of standard or slimline designs, ensuring Reynaers sliding doors meet most homeowner or developer requirements in terms of styling and sightlines.

Depending on the model and glass specification chosen, Reynaers sliding doors’ best features are energy efficiency, acoustics and weather protection. This brand offers some of the highest-performing sliding patio doors on the market.
Reynaers sliding doors are secure, but the marketing messages can be misleading, implying that standard doors with no upgrade meet current security specifications such as Secured by Design.

With all this in mind, here is the current range of Reynaers sliding doors.

How to choose the most suitable Reynaers sliding doors model
The starting point in choosing the most suitable Reynaers patio door is whether you have an existing or new opening. Some models are only intended for new openings and these shouldn’t be considered as a replacement to existing sliding doors.
The next factor affecting your choice of Reynaers sliding door is sightlines. Reynaers don’t make that many minimalst and ultra-slim sliding door products, where you want a middle mullion slimmer than 35mm. However, with the benefit of having seen most sliding doors on the market, doors with 35-50mm mullions look just as good as the very thin models and can often provide more functionality and features. Our advice is to look beyond minimalist because Reynaers sliding doors will reward you with doors from one of the best brands, that slide effortlessly, are built to last and look fantastic in any setting.
As good as Reynaers sliding doors are, finding a Reynaers supplier and installer offering several of the models explained in this article, can be quite challenging. With six models available, no installer or manufacturer we know off makes every type. Viewing Reynaers sliding doors can therefore also be difficult, but the Reynaers Showroom in Birimingham showcases most models.
Most regular installers tend to provide the ConceptPatio 130 or the 155. The specialist installers choose the Hi-Finity and some of the larger manufacturers are set up to offer the newer models. You can get in touch with us for more information about Reynaers sliding doors and where to view or buy near you.
