Your choice of back door makes a big difference to your home's appearance, and choosing glass means floods of beautiful natural light. The two most popular styles are French doors and sliding patio doors. Here's how to decide between them.
French doors feature two panels with large glass panes that open individually, usually outward. They bring a classic elegance that suits any age of property, and opening both panels creates a wide, welcoming connection to the garden with maximum airflow. They suit standard-width openings perfectly and add a sense of occasion to even a small patio.
Sliding patio doors run on tracks, gliding rather than swinging, so they need no clearance space inside or out. That makes them ideal where space is tight, and their larger panes suit wider openings, giving uninterrupted glass and unbroken garden views.
On security, efficiency and price, the two are closely matched at like-for-like quality, so the decision comes down to your space and style. Want maximum opening and classic looks? French doors. Want space-saving practicality and the biggest possible view? Patio doors.
