How connected is your home and garden? Now that summer is fast approaching, you may want to consider creating a seamless link between your indoor and outdoor spaces.
Without that link, you are failing to maximise your property’s potential.
Rather than your house and garden being two separate entities, patio doors will blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, providing you with more valuable space and a modern open-plan feel.
What are the attributes of a patio door?
Patio doors, serving as external sliding doors, provide effortless access to patios, outdoor terraces, and gardens. By default, a patio door consists of two sizable glazed panels, but at Planet, we offer patio doors equipped with three or four panels.
In contrast to the traditional swing of a hinged door, patio doors operate horizontally on runners, smoothly sliding to the side. This design makes them save you much-needed space, as furniture can be placed in front of the doors without impacting access.
The ample glazing allows for a bright and airy environment that truly welcomes you in.
How is a patio door different from a French door?
One of the biggest differences between these two popular feature doors is their contrasting openings. French doors open by utilising their hinges, opening either inwards or outwards, whereas patio doors slide open.
There is also more glass and less framework on patio doors, which is even more noticeable on our slender aluminium patio door frames. They give a fully unobstructed view.
With a more connected house and garden, you can fully utilise the benefits of outdoor living.
Your options for styling patio doors
While treatments aren’t necessary, as patio doors look fabulous as they are, you can add curtains or blinds to elevate their style and enhance your privacy.
For convenience, roller blinds are hard to beat. During the day, they can be easily rolled up out of the way. You may also decide on curtains made out of a lightweight material to hang over the full glass expanse.
Whether you opt for curtains or blinds, it’s important that the treatments are made-to-measure so they are unlikely to cause issues with accessibility and drag along the floor.
