Why this suits Orkney
A slider keeps every pane in the opening rather than stacking into the room, so it suits the narrower rear elevations common across Orkney.
Stone-built vernacular and modern island housing. Extreme wind exposure with heavy salt loading and almost no shelter. The failure that tends to come first is Wind load on large panes and rapid corrosion of anything not marine grade — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
Freight to the islands is a separate leg — allow real time for it. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Sliding patio doors in Orkney — questions
How long does delivery to Orkney take?
About a week from order for standard products in standard finishes, then 3–5 working days once made for the run to Orkney. Special RAL colours and made-to-measure joinery take longer, and you get a firm date before you pay.
Do you install in Orkney?
Installation is available and quoted as a separate line, so you can see exactly what the fitting costs against the product. The product still arrives on the supply-only lead time; the fitting date depends on the diary.
What size do I order to?
The structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill. Measure in three places and use the smallest figure. Do not take a fitting tolerance off yourself; that is done at our end.
What usually needs replacing in Orkney?
Wind load on large panes and rapid corrosion of anything not marine grade. That is the pattern across most of the county, though an individual property can differ.
Can I get a price without giving you my details?
Prices are published on the product pages with an inc and ex VAT switch. For your exact sizes we need to price it, but you can see the range before you speak to anyone.
