Choosing Patio Doors

Creating a more spacious home need not be difficult, and there are some very easy solutions you can take to bring the outside in or create a luxurious sense of space in your home. So, we have compiled 5 things to consider when choosing patio doors to inspire a greater sense of spaciousness in your home.

Choose Doors That Complement the Style of Your Home

Knowing which style of doors that complement your home can be difficult. Full length sliding doors are usually available with slimmer frames which can literally flood your home with light! This can greatly enhance the views of the outside, creating an almost panoramic touch without breaking up the view of surrounding landscapes.

Alternatively, you may feel that French doors, which are usually a favourite for the more historic home or homes with stonework are still in high fashion with modern homes in 2022 are a better fit. Creating value in a more subtle way, they can increase extra air flow when situated in a bedroom, perfect for those hot summer nights! Where sliding doors have slimmer frames, Bi-fold doors may be a better fit if you are looking for a more durable option with slightly thicker frames.

Bi-fold doors can also be opened several metres along whereas French and sliding doors are more rigid in their design width. It all depends on what your ideal design for your home is, whether it be traditional, contemporary, or anything in between!

Bigger is not always better!

All three of the above mentioned styles can improve the light, airy feel but in different ways and in conjunction with the style of your home. This does not necessarily mean that having the most wide-ranging doors is the right fit for you, or can add overall value.

If you value privacy as well as spaciousness, choosing a smaller door design such as French doors could be a better solution whilst offering more light than composite doors.

At Bingley Windows & Glass, we specialise in Composite, French, Patio and Bi-Fold doors, as well as windows, conservatories and orangeries. Of particular note is our patented ‘Mod-Lok’ Bi-Fold doors by Liniar, which is an innovative reinforcing and locking system. If you’d like a free consultation to discuss your ideas, contact us!

It’s All About Where you Situate the Doors

The days of having 2 up 2 down rooms are changing. Nowadays, it is less unusual to adapt bedrooms to a ground floor if you do not have a balcony or find homes with a kitchen and lounge on a higher level. If you’d like to create a bedroom space with stunning wall length views, you can!

If you’d like to do the same for a kitchen or living room, you can! This can create the option of leaving your bed to be outside in an instant. Or to watch a sunrise or sunset from the comfort of your duvet. No matter where you want to increase the sense of spaciousness in your home, our expert installations can help turn your dream home into a reality.

 Modernise by Adding Colourful Frames

 You do not have to accept the colour of frames advertised when purchasing new doors. Gone are the days when white or brown were the only options. Many door and window installation companies now offer uPVC, timber or aluminium frames in a variety of colours.

Would you prefer blue or green to blend in with your panoramic new view of the landscape? Perhaps you’d like a warmer colour such as red, yellow or orange to capture those moments at sunset and sunrise with your newly exposed view.

 It Does Not Have to Match

New patio doors need not necessarily have to match the windows that you already have installed, unless you want to completely modernise and go for a brand new look! This can create a more unified look to your home, but in the world of property value, where a buyer chooses to place value with this is unique to the prospective buyer. They may like that if you prefer a more quirky approach!

So, design your window and door installations how you wish. If you would like a more traditional or contemporary approach, we are on hand to offer our expertise to create spaciousness and light in your home, no matter what your design.
