Sliding doors may not be the newest concept on the market but they may well be the most efficient. Contemporary manufacturing techniques have created a raft of smooth action, solid doors and windows that combine aesthetic appeal with optimum functionality.

Able Aluminium offers a variety of commercial and residential sliding doors and windows, says the company's manager, Shane Petherick.

"Sliding doors have earned an industry reputation as the most versatile and practical door type for access to decks," says Petherick. "They score highly for clarity of view as wide panels can be used, minimising interruption from supporting framework."

Ranges offered by Able Aluminium include the Vantage 40ml Suite, Vantage Metro series and the APL Architectural Series. Together they cover a broad spectrum of commercial window and door requirements.

"The Metro Series and APL series are suited to commercial or residential applications, while the 40ml Suite is tailored specifically to commercial use. For example, with this range curtain walling is possible," he says. "Whatever the range, these products all provide a clean, uncluttered look combined with effortless bottom-rolling door functionality."

For an architect, a variety of options is a major design asset. These products are offered in a range of configurations, anodised finishes and thermal treatments.
