If you’re lucky enough to own a garden, we recommend you create easy access to make the most of it, especially as summer is just around the corner.
Patio doors will maximise the full potential of your home, linking your home and garden and creating a flow between the spaces.
The sliding feature doors can be installed quickly and efficiently to blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. Most homeowners fail to use their garden as much as they’d like, but the installation of patio doors encourages it.
The features of a patio door
Commonly used as an entrance to patios, terraces and gardens, patio doors include large glass panels. A standard patio door will have two panels, but you also have the option of three or four panels at Budget Windows, if space allows it.
Patio doors vary greatly from hinged doors like French doors and bi-folding doors. Instead, they slide horizontally, saving space and reducing the risk of them blowing open on a windy day.
These doors allow more light and warmth into your home and can be used to keep your interior ventilated during hot weather.
How are they different from French doors?
Aside from their different ways of opening (French doors are hinged while patio doors slide), patio doors typically have less framework and more glass.
This is especially true for patio doors made of aluminum, which have slim frames and large glass panes, offering a beautiful view of your garden without any interruptions.
When you have patio doors, your house and garden feel more connected, creating an open and spacious atmosphere.
How to dress up your patio doors
Patio doors will bring their own touch of elegance to your property but if you wish to heighten their glamour, you can do with a set of blinds or curtains. These window treatments will also make it easy for you to gain more privacy in the evenings.
If you’re looking for the most convenient option, roller blinds can be simply rolled out of the way when you require more light during the daytime. You could also hang lightweight curtains to cover the full glass expanse – this will create a layering effect.
We recommend you fit your window treatments to the exact measurements of your patio doors so that they don’t negatively impact the practicality of the door. Also, in the case of curtains, no one wants curtains that drag along the floor!
