What are patio doors?
Patio doors are large sliding glass doors that move horizontally along a track, so one panel slides neatly behind another rather than swinging open. Because they need no clearance to open, they are perfect for rooms where space is tight, indoors or out.
Their generous glazed panels flood your home with natural light and give you an uninterrupted view of the garden, making any room feel brighter and more open. The smooth, effortless slide makes them easy to use for the whole family.
Modern patio doors combine slim, contemporary frames with A-rated double glazing and high-security multi-point locking, so you get a stylish, light-filled opening that is also warm, quiet and secure.

Patio Doors FAQs
How do sliding patio doors work?
Sliding patio doors glide horizontally on a track, so one or more panels slide behind a fixed pane rather than swinging open. Because they do not need clearance to open, they save floor space and are ideal where room is tight inside or out.
Are patio doors energy efficient?
Yes. Modern patio doors are fitted with A-rated double glazing, thermally broken frames and high-performance seals, helping to keep your home warm, reduce draughts and lower your energy bills, even with their large glazed panels.
What is the difference between patio doors and bifold doors?
Patio doors slide along a track and usually keep a large fixed pane, giving uninterrupted views. Bifold doors fold back in concertina panels to open up almost the entire wall. Patio doors suit clean, minimal sightlines, while bifolds are best when you want the widest possible opening.
Can I get help funding new patio doors?
You may be able to. Through Help 2 Buy Windows you could get fully funded doors if you qualify. Most homeowners qualify, there is no obligation, and you can check in under 60 seconds with our funding checker.
