For trade professionals seeking a sliding door system that delivers exceptional performance whilst simplifying installation, Origin’s sliding patio door range represents a compelling proposition.

The introduction of the revolutionary OS-29+ system, alongside established OS-44 and OS-77 variants, provides installers with unmatched flexibility across residential projects. With superior U-values, extensive customisation options and comprehensive trade support, these aluminium sliding doors address the evolving demands of today’s construction industry whilst ensuring long-term client satisfaction.

Understanding Origin’s sliding door specifications

Origin’s sliding door system portfolio offers several distinct sightline configurations, each engineered for specific project requirements. The OS-29+ delivers the slimmest profile at just 29mm sightlines, maximising natural light penetration whilst still achieving exceptional thermal efficiency. The OS-44 provides a balanced 44mm mullion sightline suitable for contemporary installations, while the OS-77 offers a more traditional patio door aesthetic with its 77mm frame profile.

All systems utilise premium grade aluminium construction with polyamide thermal breaks, ensuring minimal heat loss across the entire door system. The concealed track mechanism accommodates panels up to 2.2m wide and 3m tall on the OS-29+ configuration, with maximum apertures extending to 13.2 metres for large-scale residential projects.

Thermal performance specifications

The OS-29+ system achieves U-values as low as 0.78 W/m²K whilst maintaining ultra-slim 29mm sightlines, eliminating the need for bulkier frame profiles whilst exceeding current building regulations. The advanced engineering allows for exceptional thermal performance with standard double glazing units. The OS-44 and OS-77 variants deliver U-values of 1.2 with triple glazing and 1.8 with double glazing, providing installers with flexible options to meet diverse project requirements.

Weather-tight seals and structural glazing techniques ensure consistent thermal performance across all configurations, whilst low-emissivity coatings on glazing units further reduce heat transfer.

Introducing the revolutionary OS-29+

The latest addition to Origin’s sliding glass door range, the OS-29+ represents a significant advancement in slimline door technology. This system achieves building regulation compliance with minimal 29mm sightlines, streamlining specification processes for installers whilst maintaining premium performance standards.

Key technical advantages include flush stacking capability, refined aesthetics and superior thermal efficiency. The ultra-slim 29mm sightlines maximise glazed areas, creating expansive connections between interior and exterior spaces that today’s homeowners demand.

Installation advantages of the OS-29+

The OS-29+ system incorporates several installer-focused improvements. Concealed tracks can be recessed into floor constructions for seamless finishes, whilst the streamlined profile reduces structural loading requirements. Pre-engineered components and comprehensive technical documentation ensure efficient installation processes.

The system’s flexibility extends to opening configurations, with panels capable of sliding left, right or centre-stacking depending on project requirements. This adaptability reduces the need for multiple product specifications across different installations.
