Use Patio Doors To Grow Space And Unify Home And Garden

If there’s no natural flow between your home and garden, which would be helpful during the spring and summer months, you’re really failing to maximise the two spaces.

A connecting link is needed and it can be established with the installation of a patio door, giving you the functionality to open them out to each other.

This will entice you outside more often and it will somehow feel as though your home is larger than it was before the patio door was integrated.

How a patio door is defined

It’s a sliding door with large glass panels that will generally lead you into patios, terraces and gardens. Most patio door designs have only the two panels, but TradeMark can supply three and four-panelled solutions if you want something bigger and wider.

The fact that it operates with a slide and doesn’t contain any outward or inward opening sashes is useful for preserving space and also stops the possibility of the open door being blown out by the wind and getting damaged.

Extra light and warmth will be received indoors too and you can use it to ventilate the interior.

How different is it to a French door?

French doors are always hinged, so their double doors open in or out and don’t slide, and a patio door also traditionally has more glazing and less framework.

An aluminium patio door demonstrates this most with its slender profile and exceptionally large glass panes, which gives you an almost completely unbroken view.

How it helps join your home and garden will give you more of an open plan living environment.

Styling options for patio doors

Patio doors are wonderfully modern as they are, but you can dress them to add further glamour with treatments such as blinds or curtains.

To control light levels, a set of roller blinds would be useful as you can draw them accordingly, and they can also be used for privacy reasons. For adding some layering to a patio door, go with thin, lightweight curtains that can be pulled all the way across at the end of the day.

Please, ensure that your door treatment is made-to-measure to avoid the problem of it affecting the opening of the door.
