Modern building and insulating materials are a "game changer" when it comes to constructing a solid replacement roof over your existing conservatory.
Due to the technological advancement in producing lightweight components it is now possible to improve your old inefficient conservatory roof, with it's noisy polycarbonate roof sheets, that makes your conservatory too hot in the summer, and too cold in the winter!

SLIDING PATIO DOORS

Patio doors are an affordable, long-term upgrade that connects your home with your garden, balcony or conservatory. Sliding open on a track, patio doors smoothly glide one behind the other, making them a popular and space-saving alternative to bi-fold doors.
Available in uPVC or aluminium, Admiral sliding patio doors are made from multiple large panes. Offering practicality and style in equal measure, there’s a wide range of colours and decorative glass effects to choose from.
Key benefits:
-
Large panes of glass for the best view in the house
-
Save on energy with the natural warmth of the sun
-
Gain more inside space as doors slide one behind the other
The patio doors illustrated on the two photos below are a fine example of "back to back" white uPVC doors, where both centre doors slide behind their respective fixed panes, to provide a nice wide opening in the centre. As an alternative they can be specified to slide on the outside tracks, with the fixed panes on the inside.
Team Admiral Windows completed this conservatory in 2017 in Calvert, Buckinghamshire for our good friends and Morris Dancers! We left them dancing in the streets!

And below is another example of back to back patio doors fitted in Woodstock in June 2020. Not only were our clients pleased with the work, they also took this photo to show that their house looks happy too!
Did you notice the slight difference between these patio doors and the ones fitted to our Morris Dancer friends above?
One installation has the patio door sashes sliding on the outside tracks and the other has them on the inside tracks! Just another choice available to Admiral Windows customers!

This porch was created on the Dogwood Green estate in Kidlington in 2019 for a client who already had an open tiled roof above his original front door, and wanted the convenience of an enclosed area.
Team Admiral Windows constructed a new base, and infilled the gap with a new two part white uPVC sliding patio door and a uPVC half glazed panel to the end. The job was finished off with new fascias and guttering.
The main image featured on our home page, and again here shows how stunning patio doors can look as part of a modern contemporary development when used with the right materials.
Team Admiral Windows were responsible for the installation of the beautiful anthracite grey uPVC patio doors, the aluminium fascia above the doors and the Marley Cedral cladding to the 13 flats and penthouses in Dark Lane, Witney.
The client was really happy with the result, which was just as well 'cos he's our boss!
