a-TaylorMade
Window offers many different styles of patio
doors from most of the leading
manufacturers. Whatever material you
choose (vinyl, woodclad or fiberglass), there is
a style for you that can offer a striking
architectural accent and allow you to enjoy an
outdoor view. Some of the more popular
considerations are presented below.
A pair of doors
that are both active gives you much natural
light and ventilation. The drawback is that they
eat up a chunk of space when swinging open and
can limit furniture placement in a a room. If
space is a consideration, enjoy the look of the
hinged door but swing only one panel.
Swinging
French doors (to the
outside)
Another
space saving alternative
is to use doors that
swing to the
outside. The
downside is that the
doors would be subject
to deterioration from
weathering, especially
the tops. If wood
doors are important to
you, out swing doors
are not
recommended.
French
center-hung door
If
you like the French-door look,
but space is tight, consider
installing a center-hung hinged
door that allows furnishings in
front of the fixed panel.
Contemporary
French Patio door
A
contemporary door has a sleek
narrow profile that maximizes
the glass area.
French
Patio Doors with Operable Side-lites
French
doors with operable
side-lites provide
ventilation to the room
without opening the
doors.
The
Marvin Lift and Slide Patio doors are available in sizes up to 48 feet wide. These
stunning doors allow a seamless transition from the exterior to the
interior of your home. Option styles include pocket door panels that slide
into the wall, completely disappearing from view, and Stacked panels slide and
stack perfectly within the doorframe.
Standard
Sliding Patio Door
A
sliding patio door might be the answer
when furnishing a room is a challenge because
you can place a piece of furniture in front of
the fixed panel of a sliding patio door without
affecting its operation or impairing traffic.
French Rail Patio
Door
This door
combines the function of a sliding patio door with the
aesthetics of the wider styles of a swing French door.
Bi-Fold Patio Doors
Bi-Fold
doors (by Marvin) can be configured from two
to eight panels and use an extruded aluminum track
to fold smoothly to one side.
They open wide to infuse a room with fresh air and
spectacular views
