If you have a home with a garden but no seamless connection between the two, you’re missing out on a great opportunity.
Investing in patio doors to link your indoor and outdoor spaces will unlock the full potential of your house and provide you with extra valuable space.
They will create an open plan feel and improve accessibility, which is ideal for the upcoming summer months, especially if you’re planning on hosting an outdoor gathering.
What makes a patio door?
A patio door is an external sliding door that leads to patios, outdoor terraces, gardens, and more. It consists of large glazed panels, typically two panels, although three and four-panel options are available.
Unlike hinged doors, patio doors open horizontally with a simple slide, making them a space-saving solution. With no outward or inward opening sashes, you won’t have to worry about them blowing open on a windy day.
These doors allow ample light and warmth into your interior and can be used to keep it well-ventilated during hot weather.
How are patio doors different from French doors?
Compared to French doors, which are unhinged, patio doors have less framework and more glass.
This is particularly true for aluminium-built patio door designs, which feature slim sightlines and expansive glass panes, providing an uninterrupted view of your garden.
The interconnectedness between your house and garden will create an open plan outlook, enhancing the overall ambiance of your living space.
How should I style my patio doors?
To add a touch of elegance to your patio doors, consider dressing them with curtains or blinds. You can draw in either window treatment when you’re in need of some privacy.
Roller blinds are a practical option as they can be easily rolled up during the day, while large, lightweight curtains made of thin fabric can provide a lovely layered look, covering the full glass expanse.
Ensure that any treatments you choose are made-to-measure, so they don’t obstruct the functionality of the door or drag along the floor in the case of curtains.
