Aluminium Sliding Doors Dubai

Lift-slide, minimal-sightline, and multi-track aluminium sliding doors for UAE villas and commercial projects. Altest, Cortizo, Schüco, Alumil.

Modern Dubai villa with floor-to-ceiling aluminium sliding doors and pool terrace

Sliding doors carry the panoramic brief — they open the elevation, frame the view, and disappear behind the wall. For UAE living areas, pool terraces, and balconies, the right sliding system carries the architect’s sightline spec without compromising thermal or security performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lift-slide systems (Cortizo 4600 Plus, Schüco ASE 80 HI) support panels up to 4 m² and 400 kg per pane. The constraints are structural load on the surrounding opening, glass weight, and the manufacturer’s tested specification — feasibility confirmed per project after reviewing the architect’s drawings.

Different specifications for different briefs. Lift-slide (Cortizo 4600 Plus, Schüco ASE 80) is about the heaviest panels and smoothest mechanism. Minimal-sightline (Altest LineaSlide 640, Cortizo Cor Vision Plus) is about the cleanest visible profile. Possible to mix the two across different elevations on the same project.

Concealed drainage channels in the threshold direct water to the slab edge, then to the building’s rain drainage. This detail must be coordinated with architect and main contractor at fabrication stage — UAE heavy-rain events expose any compromise in the threshold detail.

Yes — Schüco TipTronic and Cortizo Smart motorisation integrate with home-automation systems (KNX, BMS). Common on lift-slide systems where panel weight makes motorisation desirable.

Local fabrication at our Al Qusais facility delivers shorter lead times than importing finished sliding doors from Europe. Specific lead times confirmed on receipt of the architect’s drawings, system specification, and glass spec.
