We are a listed Reynaers at Home installer partner, fabricating in our own workshop at Fifield, near Windsor, and fitting with our own team. Oxshott sits about 18 miles from Fifield as the crow flies, typically a 30 to 45 minute drive via the M25, and we travel out to survey your opening and install the finished doors.

Wide glass for wide plots
Oxshott is a village of large detached houses, many on gated private roads, with mature gardens backing onto heath and woodland such as Oxshott Heath and Prince’s Coverts. The original growth came when the Crown Estate released land in the late 1800s for substantial mock Tudor homes, and many of those plots have since been rebuilt or extended with contemporary rear wings. When the garden runs a long way back, or the house looks onto trees, the glazing should frame that view. A slider delivers big panes with slim meeting sections, so the garden reads clearly from inside all year.
ConceptPatio 130: what Reynaers publishes
ConceptPatio 130 is a lift-and-slide door engineered for large, heavy glass. The published figures we rely on are:
- Vents up to 2700 mm high and 2700 mm wide
- Up to 300 kg per sliding vent and per fixed panel
- Uw 1.4 W/m²K, calculated with 1.0 W/m²K glass at a stated size
- Air Class 4, water E750 and wind B5
- PAS 24 and RC2 security
- Durability Class 4, tested to 50,000 cycles
Two-rail, three-rail and monorail frames are available, along with an open corner layout and a Glass Corner detail for a profile-free glass-to-glass junction. Threshold choices are low or zero. Figures vary with size and specification, so ask us to confirm them for your opening. More detail is on our Reynaers aluminium sliding doors page.
Designing the opening around the slider
With vents of this size, the structure above the opening matters. On new builds and rebuilds we can give your engineer the system information early, so the steel or beam is sized and positioned correctly. For a flush step-free threshold onto a stone terrace, the zero threshold version needs a drainage channel outside and a floor build-up that suits it. Open corners need a structural solution with no corner post.
Big south or west-facing panes can bring a lot of solar gain into a kitchen extension on a summer afternoon. The glass is the main tool for managing that, and the ConceptPatio 130 vent accepts glass from 4 mm to 43 mm thick, leaving room for solar control or acoustic units. We talk through orientation and glass choice with you at survey, before anything is specified.
Elmbridge planning and estate access
Oxshott falls within Elmbridge Borough Council, and much of the land around the village is Metropolitan Green Belt. Check with Elmbridge Borough Council before committing to an extension or a larger opening, and take a look at our article on planning permission for replacement windows.
Some private roads have residents’ association rules on contractor access. Large glass vents come on a substantial vehicle, so we confirm access, turning space and any restrictions at survey.
When a bifold might suit better
If the aim is opening most of the wall to a pool terrace, a folding door can clear more of the width; see aluminium bifold doors in Oxshott. For a broader comparison, read bifold vs sliding doors.
Matching windows and other systems
On whole-house projects we can pair ConceptPatio 130 with matching windows, explained on our Reynaers windows and sliding doors page. Cortizo sliding systems are also available and are covered on our Cortizo windows, sliding doors and bifolds page. Nearby, we work in Cobham, Leatherhead and Richmond.

Frequently asked questions
What is the largest sliding door panel you can fit in Oxshott?
Reynaers lists ConceptPatio 130 vents up to 2700 mm by 2700 mm and up to 300 kg each, and several vents and fixed panes can sit in one frame. Glass specification, structure and the delivery route all affect what is practical. We confirm achievable sizes for your house after a survey and discussion with your engineer.
Can sliding doors have a completely flat threshold?
ConceptPatio 130 has a zero threshold option for a near-flush transition, with a minimum threshold height of 4 mm. It works best when the floor build-up and an external drainage channel are designed in from the start. On a new build or rebuild we can share details with your architect early so the levels are right.
Is a glass-to-glass corner possible with Reynaers sliders?
Yes. Reynaers offers an open corner configuration, where the vents slide away from a 90-degree corner, and a Glass Corner detail for a profile-free glass junction. Both need structural support with no corner post, so your engineer will need to design for it. We supply system information to make that coordination straightforward.
Do I need planning permission for sliding doors in Oxshott?
Swapping an existing door for one of similar size often does not, but new extensions, widened openings and Green Belt or listed properties may. Oxshott is in Elmbridge, so check with Elmbridge Borough Council before ordering. We can provide drawings and product data for any application or lawful development certificate.
How far are you from Oxshott, and who does the fitting?
Our only premises is our Fifield workshop near Windsor, about 18 miles from Oxshott in a straight line and usually 30 to 45 minutes by road. The same in-house team surveys and installs, and we do not subcontract fitting. Once the drawings are signed off, lead times start from 10 days.
