If you happen to own a house with a garden, but they feel disconnected, it might be worth getting patio doors installed in your property.
Patio doors will create a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor parts of your home, helping it to realise its full potential.
As the summer weather reappears, you will undoubtedly appreciate the invaluable connection that patio doors bestow upon your home.
The qualities of a patio door
Patio doors, as their name suggests, typically serve as entrances to patios, outdoor terraces, gardens, and similar spaces. They consist of large glass panels, with the standard configuration being two panels. However, at County, our customers have the option to choose three or four-panel versions.
These doors are designed for easy operation, allowing them to slide open effortlessly. In contrast, hinged doors can either open inwards or outwards. This feature enables homeowners to place furniture on either side of the patio doors without obstructing access through them.
One of the notable benefits of patio doors is their extensive glass surface, which allows an abundance of natural light to flood your space.
How are they different from French doors?
Both patio doors and French doors are popular feature doors but they are very different. First of all, French doors open on a hinge, whereas patio doors open by sliding across horizontally. Moreover, patio doors have less framework and more glass.
These proportions are even more apparent with our patio doors made from aluminium. The sightlines on our aluminium patio doors have been moulded to be incredibly slim, creating a less obstructed view.
As the link between your home and garden, patio doors will form an open-plan feel, and even when closed, the glass wall will welcome light inside.
Elevate your patio doors with treatments
Complement your patio doors with blinds or curtains, which add a touch of elegance and practicality. Drawing these treatments closed at night provides an extra level of privacy.
A popular choice for patio doors is roller blinds, which effortlessly roll up to let in more natural light during the day. Alternatively, you can opt for large, lightweight curtains made of thin material, creating a beautiful layered effect.
To ensure a perfect fit and avoid any potential hazards or obstruction of functionality, we recommend choosing made-to-measure blinds or curtains. This customisation guarantees a seamless integration with your patio doors.
