Wide span doors are an integral part of many new build or
refurbishment projects. But finding the right products can be
hard. In November 2013 aïr came onto the market. Highly
engineered, aïr spans wider, runs smoother and performs better.
Designed for modern living, aïr wide span doors offer a world of
boundless possibilities in terms of style and efficiency. The slim
frame gives a larger glazed area and that brings in more light.
The smooth operation means however big and heavy the glass,
only the lightest of touches is needed to slide open the aïr doors.
They’ve been tested to the extreme for weather tightness and
security. And all aïr doors come with a 25 year guarantee.
This extreme engineering means aïr has superior performance.
The timeless beauty combined with strong, clean lines makes aïr
a captivating choice.

aïr transformation
Top London aïr retailers took down a PVCu P shaped
conservatory and replaced it a sleek grey aluminium
and glass extension featuring two sets of impressive
aïr doors to make up the glazed walls. A 6.7 metre
span lift & slide door using just three panes opens
seamlessly with a low threshold to the stone patio and
the garden beyond.
Along the back and to the side, a smaller version.
Finishing touches include the aluminium cladding
to the corner pillar to perfectly match the aïr doors.
Topped with a sleek modern aluminium and glass
roof, this is inspirational.
