Patio Doors

FAQs

What is the difference between French and Patio Doors?

French doors and patio doors both offer great access to your outdoor spaces, but they do it in different ways. French doors are typically a pair of doors that open outwards or inwards from the centre, giving you a classic, elegant look. They’re perfect if you want a more traditional style with a wide opening. On the other hand, patio doors usually slide along a track, saving space and providing a modern, sleek appearance. They're ideal for smaller areas where you don't want doors swinging open.

How secure are patio doors?

Patio doors can be very secure, especially with modern locking mechanisms. Most patio doors come with multi-point locks that secure the door at several points along the frame, making them difficult to force open. Additionally, high-quality patio doors often feature toughened or laminated glass, which adds an extra layer of security. 

How do patio doors open?

Patio doors typically open by sliding along a track. This sliding mechanism allows for a smooth operation without taking up any additional space inside or outside your home.
