Help Choosing The Perfect Feature Door

Hasn’t it felt like an eternity since we last enjoyed warm weather? With the recent rise in temperatures, many of us are eager to venture outdoors and relish our garden spaces.

In our northern climate, where sunny days are sporadic, it’s essential to embrace them whenever they appear. Installing a feature door in your home can undoubtedly encourage you to adopt a more outdoor-focused lifestyle throughout the spring and summer months.

At Planet, we categorise three specific door products under the term “feature door”: bi-folding doors, patio doors, and French doors. Each of these door styles serves as a standout feature, boasting exceptional designs and captivating entrances.

Let’s explore the distinctive characteristics of each to help you determine the most suitable option for your space:

Bi-Folding doors

The bi-folding door is currently the star attraction in the realm of replacement doors, and it’s not difficult to understand why.

With the ability to span a considerable distance, up to 7 panels fold and slide effortlessly, creating a broad aperture for light and movement.

The unobstructed view it offers is perfect for admiring distant landscapes or nature in the surroundings.

Three different sets of bifolding doors

Patio doors

Patio doors offer a smooth gliding mechanism, with panels that move seamlessly from one side to the other.

This design is particularly advantageous for homes with limited space, as it requires no sacrifice of floor space.

While it may not provide a complete wall opening, its generously sized panels maximise natural light and offer sleek lines of sight.

French doors

Last but by no means least, French doors exude timeless charm, drawing inspiration from Italian design and cherished since the 17th century.

With two halves that can be opened independently or together, French doors offer flexibility in transitioning between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Whether you opt for an inward or outward opening, French doors beckon you to step outside and bask in the sunshine.
