What Are Ultra Slim Sliding Patio Doors?
In modern architecture, maximizing light, space, and views is key. Sliding patio doors are a standout solution, offering sleek design, efficient functionality, and seamless indoor-outdoor integration. Whether you’re renovating a compact home or designing a contemporary space, sliding doors provide an elegant and practical upgrade.
Unlike traditional French or bi-fold doors, they don’t swing open or fold, which makes them ideal for saving space and offering uninterrupted views. Ultra slim sliding doors take this concept further by reducing frame thickness to a minimum, maximising the glass area and sunlight into the property.
Benefits of sliding patio doors
Space-Saving Design
One of the primary benefits of sliding patio doors is their compact functionality. Because they slide behind each other rather than swinging open, they:
-
Save interior and exterior space
-
Allow for more flexible furniture layouts
-
Work exceptionally well in small homes
Sleek, Modern Aesthetic
Sliding patio doors are superior to other options such as bifold or French doors thanks to:
-
A minimalist look that complements modern architecture
-
Maximum glass surface for enhanced views
-
A clean, flush finish when closed
Whether you’re installing them in a home extension or a commercial building, these doors add a touch of sophistication to any space
Durable and Long-Lasting
When crafted from high-quality materials – timber, aluminium and structural glass, sliding doors are built to withstand the elements. Powder-coated finishes ensure resistance to corrosion, fading, and wear—lasting over 30 years with minimal maintenance.

Eterno Ultra Slim Sliding Patio Doors
Open up your space with one of our advanced sliding patio door systems. We offer 3 options with ultra slim frames – timber, timber-aluminium and aluminium doors. As with all our window systems, we have chosen them for superior insulation and energy efficiency, durability, easy maintenance and slim frames.
Minimal framing – maximum impact
At the core of our systems lie their defining features: ultra slim frames and state-of-the-art technology. Engineered to minimise visual obstruction, our door frames reduce structural presence to the absolute essentials, framing views rather than interrupting them.
For homeowners, this translates into more than just aesthetic appeal. With minimal framing, the boundary between inside and out dissolves—flooding interiors with natural light and creating a heightened sense of space, even in compact rooms. The result is a calm, uplifting atmosphere that enhances everyday wellbeing and redefines how you experience your home. Whether overlooking a landscaped garden, a city skyline, or a quiet courtyard, the view becomes the focal point—uncluttered, expansive, and ever-present.
Open with one finger
Forget about the typical experience of using traditional sliding doors: resistance, scraping, and a battle against weight and friction—especially as glass panels get larger. Not to mention the horrible sound.
Our ultra slim sliding doors are engineered to remove this entirely.
Thanks to state of the art lift-and-slide technology, panels lift effortlessly off their seals and glide across the track with ease. No scraping, no sticking, no unnecessary force. Just a single finger is all it takes to operate the doors —regardless of panel size or weight.
This effortless motion is made possible through:
-
Double-tandem stainless steel rollers
-
Bottom-running carriage systems supporting panels up to 500kg
-
Precision-crafted tracks for smooth, uninterrupted glide
When closed, the panels lower gently back into place, creating a secure, airtight barrier. This not only ensures outstanding thermal insulation and weather resistance, but also reinforces security—all without compromising on elegance or usability.
No threshold, no boundaries
Floor-to-ceiling glass and low threshold options ensure a smooth, barrier-free transition — perfect for families, children, and wheelchair users.
