Types of Sliding Patio Doors

Sliding Patio Doors

Sliding patio doors have one or more large glass panels which slide horizontally and are perfect for maximizing space. This is because these doors do not swing when opened, meaning you can furniture near the back of the door and not worry about hitting it. This type of door also features a weather-tight seal providing protection to withstanding high winds.

French Patio Doors

French patio doors are completely different from sliding doors in that you need to swing open like traditional doors. French doors have a more classic elegant look and can create a wide opening when both are doors open. This is ideal if you want to move garden furniture and sofas in and out of your house.
