Looking for High-quality Patio Doors?
At Expert Windows, we supply and install premium sliding patio doors, bi-fold doors, and lift-and-slide systems across Dublin and nationwide. Our patio doors are designed specifically for Irish weather conditions — combining thermal efficiency, security, and modern design.

Types of Patio Doors Available at Expert Windows
Choosing the right patio door depends on your space, layout, and how you want the doors to function.
Sliding Patio Doors
Ideal for modern homes and space-saving layouts
Sliding patio doors move horizontally along a smooth track system. They’re perfect for homes where you want large glass panels without doors swinging inward or outward.
Why homeowners choose sliding doors:
- Wide glass panels for maximum natural light
- Smooth and quiet operation
- Minimal frame profiles (especially in aluminium)
- Excellent insulation with double glazed or triple glazing
- Secure multi-point locking systems
Sliding doors are particularly popular in Dublin homes with limited patio space.
For homeowners looking for a modern, space-saving solution, explore our sliding patio doors in Ireland for full specifications and design options.
Bi-Fold Patio Doors
Best for creating a full open-wall effect
Bi-fold doors fold and stack neatly to one side, allowing you to open up large sections of your home to your garden or patio.
Key advantages:
- Opens up most of the wall space
- Creates seamless indoor-outdoor living
- Ideal for extensions and renovations
- Strong aluminium frame options
- Custom colour finishes available
At Expert Windows, we ensure structural alignment and smooth folding performance for long-term durability.
Learn more about our bi-fold patio doors and how they can completely open up your living space.
Lift-and-Slide Patio Doors
Premium solution for large glazed openings
Lift-and-slide doors operate by lifting slightly off the track before sliding, creating a tight seal when closed. This makes them ideal for Irish weather conditions.
Why choose lift-and-slide:
- Superior thermal insulation
- Exceptional weather resistance
- Handles very large glass panels
- Smooth, effortless operation
- High-end architectural appearance
This system is perfect for homeowners seeking maximum glass coverage and performance.

Materials: UPVC vs Aluminium & More
At Expert Windows, we offer both uPVC and aluminium systems depending on your project requirements.
| Feature | uPVC | Aluminium |
|---|---|---|
| Cost Level | More budget-friendly | Premium investment |
| Frame Profile | Slightly thicker | Slim, modern sightlines |
| Strength | Durable | Extremely strong |
| Maintenance | Low | Very low |
| Lifespan | Long-lasting | Extended durability |
| Best For | Standard upgrades | Large modern extensions |
Aluminium is increasingly preferred in Ireland for its slim frames and ability to support larger glass panels.
In addition to uPVC and aluminium — the two most popular choices — Expert Windows also supplies AluClad, Composite, and Timber doors. These materials are ideal for homeowners seeking enhanced insulation, architectural design flexibility, or a more traditional aesthetic.
AluClad systems combine a durable aluminium exterior with a warm timber interior. Composite doors offer strong insulated cores with low maintenance finishes. Timber patio doors remain a premium option for period homes and bespoke designs.
Our team will guide you through the best material choice based on your home style, energy performance goals, and budget.
What Affects Patio Door Prices in Ireland?
The cost of patio doors depends on several key factors, including the door type, size and configuration, and the glazing specification (such as double glazing or triple glazing and specialist glass options). The frame material also plays a role, with aluminium typically positioned as a premium option compared to uPVC.
Additional elements like colour finishes, any required structural modifications, and the removal of existing doors can also influence the final investment.
Prices below are estimates:
Sliding Doors
- uPVC: €1,800 – €3,500
- Aluminium: €3,000 – €5,500
Bi-Fold Doors
- uPVC: €3,500 – €6,000
- Aluminium: €4,500 – €8,500
