Doors

Sliding patio doors for an open garden view

Sliding patio doors connect a room to the outside without hinged leaves swinging across the floor. Consider them where furniture or patio space makes a swinging door less convenient.

Choosing patio doors

Compare the closed view with the opening you need

A sliding system keeps the door movement along the track. Compare the fixed and moving panels, the available clear opening and the view when the doors are closed.

If you want a different panel arrangement for a broad opening, compare triple-track sliding doors. If opening up most of the space is your priority, consider bifolds too.

Questions before you decide

Patio Doors: your questions

Will sliding doors take up floor space when open?

The panels move along tracks rather than swinging into the room or patio. Allow for access and the track arrangement when planning the opening.

Will the whole opening be clear?

That depends on the panel and track configuration. Ask the team to explain the clear opening for the proposed design.

What are the alternatives?

Compare French, bifolding and triple-track sliding doors against your available space and the opening you want.
