Benefit From A More Spacious Feeling Home With Patio Doors
It’s likely it will if there is a natural flow between the two areas, which there most certainly would be if you had a patio door to open and interlink them together.
With a simple slide, a patio door will eradicate the existing boundary and entice you to get outside more often, not to mention it also making your interior feeling much roomier.
How we define a patio door
The standard version of a patio door is two-panelled, but Mitchell Glass can extend this external sliding door’s design so that it features three or four panelled sections.
As mentioned earlier in the piece, you operate it with a slide, rather than open it outwardly or inwardly, so none of its sashes will occupy space, other than in the aperture the door sits within, nor will they blow open on a windy day.
Your interior will be warmer, better illuminated, and be cooled by the fresh air that comes in.
How it’s different to French doors
French doors are a hinged solution and they tend to have more framework and less glass than a modern patio door.
An aluminium patio door gives you a perfect example of this, as it has the sleekest sightlines because of the higher percentage of glazing that it has in its design, which is a huge selling-point if you value having a great view.
The closer alignment that your home and garden have as a result of a patio door being fitted will make your interior feel open plan.
Styling options for patio doors
You may be happy leaving your patio doors undressed, but on the other hand, some people may prefer to add a treatment to them for shade and privacy, such as a set of blinds or curtains.
There’s convenience in roller blinds as you can quickly adjust the cord to roll them up or down, or a curtain (lightweight and thin fabric is best for summer) could be pulled across the full design to add some lovely layering.
Whoever you buy your blinds or curtains from, get them to measure the doors first and customise the treatment for them so that they’re not ill-fitting and / or interfere with its opening.
It’ll be a summer that stays long in your memory if you appoint Mitchell Glass to fit a UPVC or aluminium patio door at home this season. Try one out in our Galashiels showroom.
