Sliding doors - which brand Origin or Reynaers?

drkash · 29 Jun 2019

I'm looking for 6 metre sliding doors (3 x 2m panels) and have been looking at the Reynaers lift and slide system or the Origin Slider. I've seen the Reynaers at Express Bifolds and like how easy it slides. I've not been able to see the Origin yet. Any advice on which is better out of these two, in terms of quality and reliability, or even any other brand? The Origin is coming at around £1k cheaper.

Cheers

What price did you get for 6m on reynaers? I've been quoted 13k + VAT for 5m!! Is it really that much more expensive than other brands?

I have ordered mine from Express Bifolds. They do the Reynaers CP130LS but badged under their name, XP Glide R. They have a great showroom in Leeds near me and the doors look great. I have paid £7k for 6m doors (3x 2m)

Thanks for the info, do you know what the u value is? Double or triple glazed? And is that price fitted including vat?

They have a showroom in Glasgow so will go have a look

This is the information I have written down when doing my research...
98mm sight lines
Double glazed windows
U value 1.4
Warranty 10yrs
Supply only: £6,216 - warranty 12 months only
Supply & fitted: £7020 (VAT included)

I asked about triple glazing but they didn't advise it given the doors are 2m each it would make them much heavier to slide for little benefit. My builder also said the U-value from my skylights / roof is more than 1.4 so improving the sliding doors U-value would be pointless.
