How Much to Install a Sliding Door in Australia?
Installing a sliding door is one of the most popular home improvement projects in Australia — and for good reason. Not only do sliding doors offer aesthetic appeal and space-saving functionality, but they also improve airflow, boost natural lighting, and enhance indoor-outdoor flow.
But one of the first questions most homeowners and renovators ask is: How much does it cost to install a sliding door in Australia?
In this detailed guide, we break down the full cost of sliding door installation, including:
- Supply vs installation pricing
- Cost variations by door type and size
- What’s included in installation
- Common extras (like screens or glazing upgrades)
- How the EZ Windows web portal makes quoting and ordering easy
Sliding Door Cost Breakdown in Australia
Sliding door installation costs depend on a few key factors:
- The size and configuration of the door
- Type of frame and glass
- Whether you’re replacing an old door or creating a new opening
- Site access and wall structure
- Who’s doing the installation (DIY vs pro)
Here’s a general price guide:

What’s Included in Professional Installation?

Factors That Influence Installation Costs
- Wall Type
- Brick and concrete walls require more labour than timber-framed walls
- Accessibility
- Tight spaces, upper floors, or hard-to-reach locations may increase labour charges
- Size and Weight of the Door
- Oversized or triple-panel systems need multiple people and extra lifting gear
- Energy Compliance Requirements
- Some regions require thermal break frames or double glazing to meet BASIX or NCC energy codes
- Site Preparation or Framing
- Creating a new opening involves framing, lintel installation, and possibly council approvals
Should You DIY or Hire a Professional?
DIY installation is possible for standard door replacements if you’re confident with tools and have help on hand. However, hiring a professional is recommended when:
- You need structural modifications
- You want warranty protection on installation
- You’re installing high-value or large-format doors
