With its bespoke grain patterns, ability to add charm, and natural sturdiness, wood has long been a popular building material when it comes to framing doors. As timber has been a core material for our products since we set up shop in 1872, at Neuffer we have over a century of experience in tailoring its surfaces and using our precise German craftsmanship to provide quality products that suit customer requirements. Nowadays, alongside our windows, front doors, and French doors, we offer a range of made to measure elegant patio doors in different sustainably sourced woods that beautifully brighten and soften interiors.
The Key Benefits
- Natural sturdiness: given their density, wood frames and sashes can strongly hold large amounts of glass in place without the need for integrated reinforcement.
- Effective soundproofing: thanks to its thickness, timber will slow the travel of sound waves effectively to create peaceful interiors.
- Bespoke design:given their different patterns, each door is unique and can be finished in our range of quality colours and light varnishes.
Technical Details
Our doors consist of much more than just a frame and glass. Their internal structures contain purpose-designed door seals, pressure strips, and more to ensure excellent functional performance.
Choosing the Door’s Opening Mechanism
Whether you opt for full folding bifold opening, are after a barrier-free flat door threshold with one of our lift and slide systems, or are looking for versatile ventilation with a tilt and slide mechanism, with our wooden doors, durable function and ease of use are a given. Just click on the links below to learn more about each type or read a comparison on our patio doors overview page.
Wooden Patio Door Models
At Neuffer we offer a variety of timber patio doors that differ in terms of their design, the possible opening mechanism, installation depth, and thermal performance. In terms of insulation, this is measured by the u-value – the lower the value, the less heat will be transferred and the more energy-efficient the door will be.
IV 68
With its offset exterior and various shapes available for its edges, this door can come with double glazing and is a good basic essential.
IV 78
Available with triple glazing, the IV 78 model is energy-efficient and features edges that come in our full range of designs to complement its offset exterior.
IV 92
Available with rounded softline edges, angular classic ones, or a bevelled rustic finish, the IV 92 model generously allows for customisation and maximum energy saving.
HST 168/180/206
With its sleek exterior, this door creates an elegant sliding front with sufficient insulation from double glazing.

Tailoring Security and the Threshold
To create products that best suit our customers' needs we offer a range of special options. If a lift and slide opening and compatible model is chosen, for example, we can supply patio doors that have a truly barrier-free threshold. With seamless entry and exit, interiors therefore become particularly accessible and ideal for wheelchairs. Ease of use is also a given. Similarly, it is also worth noting that for our wooden bifold doors, the fullest of openings can be created and a flatter threshold can be provided.
Where some clients prioritise accessibility, others may place greater importance on enhancing the break in protection of large, glazed door surfaces. This can be achieved by adapting the glass during quality manufacturing processes. The panes can be laminated, for example, which means that invisible PVB foil interlayers are inserted between them, or they can be tempered to increase pressure resistance. Whether lamination or tempering is used during the door’s production, thicker glass will be created, which will be hard to break or shatter. In addition to the glass, depending on the door type, a higher number of locking points can be chosen along with a lockable handle.
