Patio doors are popular throughout the UK due to their ability to bring the outdoors inside your home and allow for more interior space. Patio doors are a more cost-effective solution compared to conservatories and extensions, which forms part of their appeal.

Generally, there is no low threshold option available with patio doors. However, here at Blue Light, we offer a concealed zero threshold option for our patio doors for a more seamless transition.

The primary difference between patio doors and French doors is how they open. Patio doors open by sliding along a track to one side instead of swinging inwards or outwards. On the other hand, French doors are typically installed as a pair. They feature a central frame with glass panels and open inwards or outwards. 

Patio doors may be an ideal option for those who are hoping to achieve a simple, clean, or contemporary space. The sliding feature of patio doors also makes them ideal if you have limited space. With French doors or other hinged doors, you may find that there is little room for you to plan and decorate the area as the swinging of the doors takes up a substantial amount of your available space. However, with sliding patio doors, this is something you won’t have to worry about as the door takes up no extra space when opening and closing.
