Client: Amy & Rory
Location: Nottinghamshire, UK
Project: Kitchen-Diner Renovation with Aluminium Sliding Doors
The Challenge
When Amy and Rory bought their new home in the heart of Nottinghamshire, they saw it’s potential — but it needed serious updating. The previous owner had lived there for decades, and while the property had charm, it didn’t reflect the modern lifestyle the couple envisioned.
Both passionate cooks and frequent hosts, Amy and Rory dreamed of an open-plan kitchen-diner that felt bright, connected to nature, and built for entertaining. They wanted something
modern but timeless — clean, elegant lines paired with materials that could stand the test of time.
The Vision
The couple’s vision centred on one bold design choice: a wall of glass that would blur the line between indoors and out. They wanted a space that flowed effortlessly from the kitchen to the garden — perfect for hosting guests in summer or enjoying cosy Sunday mornings in winter.
They needed doors that could deliver on form and function:
- Sleek aesthetics
- Robust, year-round performance
- Effortless operation
- Maximum natural light
The Solution
The answer was a triple track Aluna aluminium sliding door system — a standout feature that now defines the space.
Installed across the width of their new kitchen-diner, the Aluna sliders flood the room with daylight and offer uninterrupted views of the garden. The slim aluminium frames are strong yet understated, giving the glass centre stage. Despite their size, the panels glide open with minimal effort, thanks to precision-engineered tracks and hardware.
Key Features of the Aluna Triple Track Sliders
- Minimal Sightlines: Slim profiles give the space a clean, high-end finish.
- Smooth Gliding: Despite the large panes, the doors slide open effortlessly.
- Durability: Powder-coated aluminium resists the elements and requires little
maintenance. - Flexible Configuration: The triple track design allows panels to slide and stack
neatly, offering various opening combinations. - All-Season Usability: Excellent thermal performance ensures comfort whether it’s
sunny or snowing.
The Result
The transformation is striking. The once-enclosed kitchen is now a bright, modern space that opens directly onto the garden — a perfect backdrop for dinner parties, summer BBQs, and everything in between.
Amy says, “It’s completely changed how we use the house. The space just flows now. It’s elegant, practical, and feels like something you’d see in a design magazine.”
Rory adds, “We love how slim the doors are — they look incredible, and they just slide so smoothly. Whatever the weather, we always feel connected to the outside.”
Conclusion
This project shows how the right architectural choice — in this case, Aluna aluminium sliding doors — can transform not just a room, but the way a home feels and functions. For Amy and Rory, it’s more than a renovation — it’s the realisation of how they always imagined living.
