Why A Patio Door Will Give You A More Spacious Home
But how is that best accomplished? In our eyes, a patio door is a fine solution as it can be used to interconnect the two areas on any hot summer’s day.
The margins between home and garden will become blurred, sure to entice you outside more often, and you’ll feel like you have extra space to play with.
What defines a patio door?
Typically integrated into the rear walls of homes and in extensions, it is an external sliding door that slides and leads into gardens, terraces and patios, and often has twin glass panels (Speedy can do three and four-panelled versions too).
With no inward or outward opening sashes, it won’t take up valuable space inside or outside, and this also avoids any potential damage being caused to the product in high winds as it can’t blow open.
Your interior will be brightened by its presence and feel warmer, plus you can use the door to ventilate it.
What makes it different from a French door?
French doors are hinged, rather than sliding, so that’s one of the biggest differences, and a patio door will generally feature less frame and more glass.
An aluminium patio door is a perfect example of this, having a remarkably trim profile, enabling it to accommodate big expanses of glass, greatly maximising any outdoor view.
The enhanced connection of home and garden initiated by a patio door will almost make you feel as though you’re living within an open-plan arrangement.
How can you stylise patio doors?
You may be happy to omit having a treatment for a patio door, but if you want to dress it, blinds or curtains will intensify its chicness and you can draw them to enjoy some privacy.
A roller blind is something you can raise to adjust light levels with real ease or keep things simple and just hang a lightweight curtain covering that you can pull across and moderate how much fresh air comes in.
The patio door should be thoroughly measured up prior to the chosen treatment being prepared so that it doesn’t interfere with its opening or fall short of covering it all.
Summer spaciousness is yours for the taking. Grab it with both hands by getting UPVC or aluminium patio doors ordered from Speedy. Experience their design in our Horsham showroom.
