QFORT aluminium sliding doors are designed for homeowners who want to maximise natural light, open up wider views and create a stronger connection between their home and garden. With slim aluminium profiles, expansive glazing and a choice of advanced sliding and lift-and-slide systems, the range combines contemporary design with reliable everyday performance.
Basfords supplies four QFORT sliding door systems: Panorama 7Stars, Panorama 5Stars, Paysage 6Stars and Paysage 5Stars. Each range offers its own balance of sightlines, glazing, thermal performance and configuration options, making it easier to choose a solution that suits your property and project.
Whether you are planning a modern extension, replacing existing patio doors, or creating a large architectural opening, QFORT sliding doors can be tailored to deliver a clean, refined finish while enhancing comfort, security, and long-term durability.
The QFORT Panorama 7Stars is designed for ambitious projects where expansive glazing, minimal framing and high thermal performance are priorities. As QFORT’s flagship Panorama system, it combines ultra-slim aluminium profiles with large glazed areas to create wide, uninterrupted views and a strong connection between your home and garden.
Triple glazing and advanced aluminium construction allow the Panorama 7Stars to achieve a tested Uw value of 0.98 W/m²K, depending on configuration. The system can accommodate between one and six movable sashes, with pocket-opening and 90° open-corner arrangements available for particularly impressive architectural designs. Optional motorised operation can also make larger installations easier to use.
The QFORT Panorama 5Stars is an excellent choice for homeowners who want exceptionally slim sightlines and expansive views without overwhelming their property’s architecture. Its standout 20mm sightline reduces the amount of visible aluminium between glazed panels, helping natural light and outdoor views take centre stage.
Particularly well suited to refurbishment projects, Panorama 5Stars combines large areas of double glazing with clean, minimalist profiles and PAS 24-certified security. Two systems can also meet at a 90° corner without a vertical upright.
The result is a sleek aluminium sliding door that works particularly well when a discreet frame and uninterrupted outlook are central to the design.
QFORT Paysage 6Stars combines generous glazing with lift-and-slide operation, creating an aluminium sliding door that makes large openings easier and more comfortable to use. The system is particularly suited to kitchens, living spaces and extensions where homeowners want to open their property towards a garden, patio or terrace.
A low 20mm threshold helps create a smoother transition between internal and external spaces, while large glazed panels maximise daylight throughout the room. Paysage 6Stars can achieve a tested Uw value of 1.1 W/m²K, depending on the specification, and supports two, three, four or six movable sashes.
For larger architectural openings, the system can also be configured as a 90° open corner, helping create an impressive sense of space when the doors are opened.
The QFORT Paysage 5Stars offers a versatile aluminium sliding solution for homeowners looking to maximise glazing while making efficient use of available space. Large glass surfaces help brighten interiors and create an open connection to balconies, terraces and gardens without requiring the panels to project into the room.
Designed with smooth, quiet movement in mind, Paysage 5Stars is available with two, three, four or six movable sashes. An optional pocket configuration allows the sliding panels to move into the wall where the property design permits, creating an even wider opening. Integrated Venetian blinds can also be specified for additional privacy and light control.
Each QFORT aluminium sliding door system offers a different balance of sightlines, glazing, thermal performance and configuration flexibility. The table below highlights the key differences between the four systems available from Basfords.
