A new set of patio doors can improve the functionality, aesthetics, security and value of your home. There are various styles of patio doors that can help you achieve these goals. The three main types are sliding, french and bi-fold. The door that will be best for you and your home will depend on several factors including the space you have to work and many more. It can be difficult to understand the different features and advantages of each patio door, which is why we have created a breakdown of each type of door in a bit more detail.

French Doors

French doors are fantastic for smaller patio openings and usually, consist of two doors which open up from the centre. There is usually no bar running down the middle which means the view will be unobscured. French doors can be made to measure which will give you a bespoke set of doors which will fit your home perfectly. 

Sliding Patio Doors 

UPVC sliding patio doors can be fitted into small and large openings and are made to measure, allowing you to put them together in the best way for you and your property. Sliding doors can be opened up to the full width of the sliding panel, making them perfect for the summertime when the weather is nice. 

Bi-Fold Doors 

Bi-Fold doors are relatively new in the United Kingdom and have become extremely popular in a short space of time. They can fit in small or large opening space and are designed to fold right up into themselves. Bi-Fold doors really can enhance almost any style of property. 

Which Patio Door Is For Me? 

If you use your patio doors regularly as a way to get in and out of your home then you will want something easy to use. You will also want a door which doesn’t require you to open the full width of the space each time. A french door would be the perfect option for you on this occasion. 

If you only use your patio during the summer months, to let in some fresh air or sunshine into your home or to allow you and your family easy access to the garden. Bi-Fold doors will come in handy for this situation, as they allow you to open up the full width of your patio door opening. Each patio door has its benefits for the summer, however, your choice will depend on your space available and your personal style. 

If you would like your patio doors to match the style of your property this is also not a problem. Aluminium or uPVC doors are available in a wide variety of colours, meaning there is most certainly an option to match the colour of your home. They are customized to suit any property and will look beautiful in any home as well as increasing the value.
