Patio Doors: The Missing Link Between Homes And Gardens
Getting a patio door installed will have you swapping your home for your garden more regularly than during previous summers.
Its opening will establish an indoor-outdoor flow at your house, bringing the two areas closer together than ever before, rather than feeling like two very separate entities.
How is a patio door defined?
It’s an external sliding door with large glazed panels (typically two of them, but Orion can organise a four-panelled design upon request) that can lead into a garden, patio or terrace.
A hinged door opens inwards or outwards, but a patio door has a sliding mechanism, so you move it from left to right, or in the reverse direction. Therefore, other than the aperture it occupies, it won’t take up any space.
It will entice added light and warmth into your interior and ventilation too if left in an open position.
How does it vary from a French door?
Apart from how the two products open and close, with a French door swinging in or out and patio door sliding instead, the latter tends to have a bigger proportion of glazing.
An aluminium patio door demonstrates this most, providing you with incredibly slim sightlines because of the thinness of its profile and huge glazed expanses.
The strengthened connection between your home and garden as a result of a patio door being put in will make your house feel more open-plan.
How can you style it?
To heighten the undoubted stylishness of a patio door, take to dressing it with some curtains or blinds, helpful for retaining an element of privacy.
From a convenience standpoint, roller blinds are a great option as they could quickly be rolled up or down depending on the time of day, or for some layering, hang a lightweight curtain that when drawn is big enough to cover the entire door.
It’s advisable to have your chosen door treatment made-to-measure so that it fits neatly and doesn’t impede the door when you’re using it.
