Patio Doors are becoming a popular option in homes to improve the access to gardens, and outdoor spaces. Patio doors are completely glazed to extend the feel of a room, flooding the interior spaces with all the available natural light. Earlier, traditional patio doors were highly notorious for not just heat loss and leakage, but also for poor security. Mainly, there are two types of patio doors, sliding and hinged, offering distinct features. Sliding patio doors are ideal for maximising views, as they consist of two or more individual panels, which are able to slide back and forth on hidden rollers. Moreover, sliding panels can be combined with fixed panels too. Whereas, hinged patio doors are still operated in the same fashion as standard entry doors.

It has been seen that patio doors often come down to a matter of aesthetics versus energy-efficiency. Patio doors are also weather-stripped and more effective than a sliding door. Patio doors usually carry two main elements; the frame and the glazing. Patio doors are designed to provide a sense of space as well as provide an easy access point to the outdoors. They can be designed in keeping with your existing windows and doors, in a multitude of designs to suit your needs.

During cold weather, it is important to keep your home as insulated as possible. Patio doors therefore come insulated, double paned, or specifically treated to keep the heat in. Patio doors are also made from vinyl and aluminum these days which tend to be cheaper in comparison to other materials.

There maybe some concern that patio doors are not secure, however they can all come fitted with security bars, making them as secure as your front door.
