Sliding glass doors

A sliding glass office door is a glass leaf that runs on a top-mounted track and glides across the face of the partition instead of swinging, saving floor space in small rooms and busy corridors. Soft-close dampers stop it at each end.

Guide price: £1,700 to £3,400 per door, fitted, ex VAT, depending on track and size.

How do sliding glass office doors work?

Single sliders suit small rooms and pods; bi-parting doors suit wide openings into larger rooms. Tracks can be surface-mounted with a slim cover or concealed in the ceiling for a cleaner look.

Sliding doors are less airtight than hinged doors, so they are not the first choice for confidential rooms. Where privacy matters we use brush and magnetic seals or recommend a hinged acoustic door instead.

When are sliding glass office doors the right choice?

  • Small rooms where a swing door blocks furniture
  • Busy corridors and circulation routes
  • Wide openings and bi-parting entrances

Sliding glass doors: questions

Are sliding glass doors soundproof?

Not as good as hinged doors, because they cannot compress a seal in the same way. They suit rooms where some sound transfer is acceptable.

Can sliding glass doors be automated?

Yes. Automatic sliding operators with sensors are available, usually for reception entrances or accessible routes.

How much space does a sliding door need?

The leaf slides over the adjacent wall, so you need a clear wall at least as wide as the door beside the opening.

Can a sliding door be locked?

Yes, with a hook lock into the floor, wall or adjacent glass, operated by a key or thumb turn.
