Choosing an Opening Style for Double Patio Doors
Today, many patio doors feature a tilt and turn mechanism. Like standard casement windows, they can be swung open by turning the handle 90 degrees. Alternatively, they can be tilted for ventilation with a 180 degree turn of the handle. We can also produce double doors that open outwards to meet your local and personal preference.
Glazing wise, clear glass is standard while those seeking a degree of privacy may also opt for frosted glass for example.
If you're looking for double doors, several mechanisms are available including:
- Tilt and turn (French doors)
- Tilt and slide
- Bifold (folding)
- Lift and slide
All doors feature large glazed surfaces which are offered in double and triple glazing as well as with additional security, noise reduction and privacy options.
Aluminium cladding will boost the durability, security and looks of timber and uPVC frames.
Natural wood boasts great insulation and strength right out of the door without additional reinforcement, foam or internal chambers. It provides a warm, authentic and natural look for any home while requiring a bit more upkeep than synthetic materials like uPVC. Aluminium cladding represents the best of both worlds. For those on a stricter budget, aluclad uPVC provides solid security, insulation and aesthetics at a great price.
For the ultimate bespoke solution and unparalleled aesthetics, aluclad timber frames are second to none. They feature a sleek modern look outside and robust weather resistance. This adds up to minimal upkeep over the years and the same cosy look of wood indoors. As with windows, there are a wide range of further options that can be fitted to reach the thermal insulation, sound reduction and security needs of your project.
