Patio doors on a property have been popular for many years with house owners choosing to replace French window doors with something more up to date. The older patio doors were made with aluminium frames and so some of these older style doors will probably be ready for a facelift.
The popular UPVC door and window frames have many advantages over the aluminium ones such as less condensation and better insulation. They are easier to keep clean as a quick wipe over with a damp cloth is all it needs to freshen them up. Good quality doors will have a multipoint locking system for added security.
Although as previously stated people tended in the past to remove French windows and replace them with sliding patio doors, some homeowners have sliding patio doors removed and opening doors installed instead. The trend for bi-folding doors continues as these allow the doors to be opened into the garden without the nuisance that large opening doors can cause, especially on a windy day. People like the idea of blending their inside and outside spaces and these type of doors help to achieve that welcoming and open plan feel, so they are ideal for people who enjoy entertaining.
