Adding new doors and windows to your property is an excellent way to boost curb appeal and create a warm and inviting space for you and your family. However, when it comes to choosing the doors to your patio, you will want to take some time to consider the best options for your home. You will need to think about the size and material used and the style of doors you want for your home. You have various options available, depending on your budget, and below are some of the most popular ones you can choose.
Bi-Fold Doors
One of the current fashionable choices that many people opt for when installing new doors on their patio is bi-folding doors. These doors can help open your home to the outside so you can enjoy outdoor living with an indoor lifestyle. They open in a concertina-like fashion and can fold away, leaving a significant open space to the outside, perfect for when the weather is nice. You can often have anywhere between two and seven panels that will slide and fold away to keep the space open. They are usually made from uPVC, and they can have an expected lifespan of between 25-35 years. They can be the most expensive option, but they are also the best looking and most practical of the choices you have available.
French Doors
French doors are another popular option when people are looking to upgrade their patio doors for their homes. These can be made from uPVC, wood, or aluminium, so you can get them to match the style of your other doors and windows easily. You can get these doors in various styles and colours, and they can help make the outside of your home look fantastic. French doors do not slide, or open as bi-fold ones do, and they work in the same way as your front door, but there are two doors that open and close. If you are looking to add aesthetic appeal to your home, French doors may be the look you are searching for and an affordable option for your home.
Sliding Doors
One of the most common options for the doors in our back gardens is sliding doors. There are usually two glass panels, and one of them, or both, will slide open. These doors are available in various materials, including wood, uPVC, and aluminium, and there are plenty of choices of colour available, depending on the material you use. Sliding doors are a practical solution that will not cost too much, but they will look almost the same as many of your neighbour’s doors in their back gardens.
If you need to replace the doors in your back garden, speak to your local installation companies and see what options they have available and recommend. Choosing the correct door option for your home will help to improve how it looks and encourage you to use them more and spend time outside. You may even turn your home into the envy of the neighbourhood when you invite everyone around for a summer BBQ.
