Town: Uppingham
Postcode district: LE15
Area: Rutland
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Top-hung or bottom-rolling. Weight carried overhead or on a floor rail, chosen to suit the structure.
No headroom needed. With side-opening leaves, cranes, lights and services overhead stay clear.
Folding leaves. Where there is little wall either side, folding leaves concertina into a compact stack.
Wicket doors. A personnel door within a leaf saves sliding the main door for every visit.
Insulated options. Leaves can be filled with insulated panels and sealed along their edges to cut heat loss.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding a steel support beam and top-hung track so a sliding door leaves the floor flush for forklifts.
Replacing a damaged floor rail and guide wheels on a bottom-rolling door struck by a vehicle.
Installing telescopic sliding doors where the wall space to one side is limited by an adjoining structure.
