Sectional Sliding Gates – Space-Saving Security for London Homes
Maximise your driveway with stylish, secure, and automated ‘around the corner’ gates – ideal for compact properties across London.
Smart Gate Design for Urban Living
In dense urban areas, traditional swing or sliding gates often aren’t practical. That’s where sectional sliding gates – also known as around the corner or sliding folding gates – provide an ideal solution.
These innovative gates glide along a curved track using hinged panels, folding neatly around the inside corner of a wall or boundary. This clever design eliminates the need for a long runback, making them the perfect choice for narrow driveways, especially in busy London boroughs.
Why Choose Around the Corner Sliding Gates?
We offer a range of beautiful wood options, including the highly durable Accoya wooden gates and luxurious Iroko wooden gates. These materials are renowned for their strength, and resistance to weather, ensuring your gates will stand the test of time. Accoya, with its 50-year rot-free guarantee, and Iroko, a dense African hardwood, are ideal choices for ensuring longevity and maintaining a stunning appearance.
