Ask Us
What are sliding patio doors, and how do they differ from other door types?
Sliding patio doors are large glass doors that slide horizontally on tracks to open and close. Unlike traditional hinged doors, they do not swing open, making them an excellent space-saving option for homes with limited space. Sliding patio doors offer unobstructed views of the outdoors and provide a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living areas.
What are the benefits of choosing sliding patio doors for my home?
Sliding patio doors offer numerous benefits. They flood your living space with natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. Their large glass panels allow you to enjoy beautiful outdoor views while staying protected from the elements. They also provide easy access to your patio, deck, or garden, making them ideal for entertaining guests and bringing the outdoors in.
Are sliding patio doors energy-efficient?
Yes, modern sliding patio doors are designed with energy efficiency in mind. They come with insulated frames, low-emissivity (Low-E) glass, and weather-stripping to minimise heat transfer and drafts. These energy-efficient features help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and can contribute to reduced energy bills.
Are sliding patio doors secure?
Absolutely, sliding patio doors are equipped with advanced security features. They come with multi-point locking systems and toughened or laminated glass options, providing excellent protection against intruders. Additionally, some sliding patio doors have anti-lift mechanisms to prevent the door panels from being lifted off the tracks from the outside.
