Patio Doors vs French Doors

So, you’re in the process of redecorating your home ready for the Summer but you’re undecided on whether you should choose Patio or French doors. Which one will improve your individual space the most, whilst looking the most aesthetically pleasing?

The simple answer is: it all depends on how you plan on using the doors in your home. Different property types and layouts will play a key role in your final decision. Make a start by asking yourself:

Does the doorway in question have a glazed extension overlapping the doors?

If so, your best option in this situation would be the sensational sliding patio door design. Hinged doors could inhibit the amount of available space inside your glazed extension or living space. Sliding patio doors would truly enhance this area, not detracting from any valuable space that could be used for something else, e.g. additional furniture.

Patio Door Advantages

  1. Fitting alternative to swinging doors on hinges
    2. Elderly and disability friendly, due to smooth easy-slide action
    3. Tidy door design with user-friendly operating system
    4. High security locks that meet Secured by Design standards
    5. Energy A rated glass

Do you want to let in as much warmth & light as possible?

If so, your best option here would be the fabulous French Door design. Let the summer warmth in by opening both sets of doors and utilising their full width opening. French doors offer essential extra space that patio doors just can’t compete with.
