If you own a house with a garden, yet do not have convenient access between the two locations, you’re missing a trick, especially as summer is just around the corner.
You can get out into your garden in seconds with elegant, space-saving patio doors installed in your property. Patio doors will establish a harmonious flow within your home.
Many homeowners often underutilise their gardens, but the addition of patio doors serves as a catalyst for a more engaging outdoor experience.
The characteristics of a patio door
An external sliding door, patio doors can make access to patios, outdoor terraces and gardens a breeze. A patio door has two large glazed panels as standard, but there are options to increase this. James Oliver offers patio doors with three or four panels.
Patio doors vary greatly from the opening of a hinged door, with sashes that move inwardly or outwardly. Instead, patio doors open horizontally by sliding along runners, making them a real space-saving solution. Furniture can be placed in front of the doors without losing access.
With their high proportion of glazing, natural light will flood in through the big glass panels to light up your room, creating an environment that’s light, bright and welcoming.
How does a patio door vary from a French door?
French doors have a hinged opening, opening either inwards or outwards, rather than the slide opening of patio doors. A patio door also consists of less frames and more glass, providing a less restricted view.
This is especially the case if you choose the aluminium version of the patio door, which has incredibly slender frames and wide glass panes.
As the link between the two spaces, patio doors will create a contemporary open-plan feel within your home and garden.
Style your patio doors with treatments
Patio doors look stylish enough with or without them, but window treatments like curtains or blinds can really dress up patio doors if you require some extra privacy.
Roller blinds offer a practical solution by effortlessly rolling up, allowing natural light to flood through each glass pane during the day. Alternatively, you can opt for airy fabric curtains that gracefully cover the entire expanse of glass, adding a touch of elegance and depth to your space.
Ensure that your window treatment is custom-made, guaranteeing it won’t interfere with the door’s smooth operation. For curtains, it’s essential to have them tailored to the perfect length, so they don’t trail along the floor, maintaining a neat and tidy appearance.
