Panoramic glazing with patio door
Sliding systems have replaced traditional swing structures and are rapidly gaining popularity among users. The reason for the appearance of such doors was the desire to save interior space and preserve the presentable exterior of the house by removing numerous doors and partitions.
Sliding Patio doors look light and elegant, unlike classic plastic doors, and can be of any size. The door leaf is opened in different ways, depending on the type of sliding system.

What it is
The main feature of a French door is glazing along the height of the room, sometimes with a blind top or a low base. In this case, glass should occupy at least 80% of the entire canvas.
Initially, such structures were installed in rich houses, where the premises were adjacent to a patio - a courtyard with a luxurious landscape. The door was a connecting element between the space of the house and the vast world of nature: flower beds, fountains, platforms and walking paths. This made it possible to erase visible boundaries and let maximum sunlight and air into the room.
Nowadays, doors of this model are used everywhere and anyone can afford them. French doors have become more functional and therefore in demand, which explains why they are rapidly gaining popularity.

Advantages and disadvantages of the design
Modern French doors are not just beautiful, they are functional, practical and have the following advantages:
- Style . The design makes the room original and status. French doors can be matched to any interior, from classic to ultra-modern high-tech.
- Visual effect . The large glass area allows access to the maximum amount of sun into the premises. The space loses its boundaries and visually increases. The combination of a French door with panoramic glazing of a balcony is especially impressive - it becomes possible to admire the beautiful city view or natural landscape.
- Practicality . Glass for doors is made using a special technology. They are highly durable and can withstand heavy loads without cracking. French door models are available in two versions. “Cold” - protect from light drafts and dust. “Warm” - equipped with excellent sound and heat insulation properties.
This interior solution also has significant disadvantages:
- Excessive openness . The interior of the home is completely visible from the street. For many people this is unacceptable. But the problem can be solved by installing special double-glazed windows with a special film: it is opaque on the outside. You can also cover the doors with thick curtains, but in this case their main advantage of openness disappears.
- Strong heating of the room in the heat . Access to sunlight is both an advantage and a disadvantage. On hot summer days, external French doors are difficult to manage without air conditioning or constant ventilation.
- Installation problems . Installing doors in an apartment building requires the demolition of part of the walls, and this is not possible in all premises and often requires coordination with regulatory organizations.
- Difficulties of care . A large glass area provokes excessive pollution. French doors need to be washed more often than regular doors.
- High price . The production and installation of large frames costs more than similar services for standard models.
Where are panoramic sliding doors Patio used?
Patio doors can be laminated to resemble wood.
The scope of application of plastic sliding doors is wide; they are used for:
- balconies:
- loggias;
- terraces;
- verandas;
- winter garden;
- swimming pool;
- rooms, etc.
Installation of such barriers is possible in any room. For example, a sliding structure can occupy an entire wall of a room, opening up a beautiful view of the garden, terrace, pool, providing convenient exit. They can act as partitions, dividing the internal space into functional zones. Panoramic PVC sliding glass doors with a Patio system open up a sea of design possibilities and allow you to create the house or apartment of your dreams.

Advantages and disadvantages
Panoramic doors opening onto a terrace or balcony are popular in countries with warm, mild climates. There they allow you to admire beautiful views of the courtyard or provide an overview of the city landscapes. Increasingly, this option for designing openings is found in the homes of compatriots. What are the advantages of the French model over traditional options:
- Lets more light into the room. Even if the balcony faces north, the room will become much brighter.
- They have an original European stylish look. They fit into any interior style thanks to a variety of frame materials and glazing designs.
- Visually increase the space. Moreover, both the interior and the balcony become spacious. Thanks to glass, the division between rooms is almost invisible.
- The premises are connected by loggias and rooms. The balcony becomes an extension of the room thanks to the transparent glass sheet.
- Convenient and practical to use. Modern technologies make use easy and safe. The mechanism does not fail even with frequent use.
- The possibility of maximum opening provides high-quality ventilation. Due to the absence of barriers to air flow, you can refresh the room in a few minutes.
What types of sliding patio doors are there?
Based on the opening principle, sliding doors are divided into:
- lift-and-slide;
- tilt-sliding;
- "harmonic".
The first ones are opened by lifting the flap and moving it to the side. Such designs are complemented by reliable fittings that can withstand significant weight loads. When closed, the sash fits tightly to the frame, which ensures absolute tightness of the structure and eliminates drafts.
To ensure a high level of thermal and acoustic insulation, double glazed windows with energy-saving coating are used. This design will correspond to the level of noise penetration and drafts of a brick wall.
Lift-and-slide structures are used for arranging openings in private houses. They can be used for glazing pools, terraces, verandas, where it is necessary to glaze a large area.
Tilt and slide doors are opened by tilting one leaf forward and moving it into the blind part of the structure. Such systems are lighter, but are limited in size. For example, if a structure with a rotary-sliding mechanism can be about 10 meters long, then a tilting-sliding mechanism is limited to 3.5 m. Therefore, such structures are more often used for glazing balconies and loggias.
French door installation
Before installing a French door, the doorway is prepared, which is significantly different from that which is carried out before installing a regular door. The preparatory work includes the mandatory dismantling of the section of the wall on which the window block rests. If there is no glazing on the balcony, it is recommended to remove the wall (as well as the old door with a window) immediately before installing the door, so as not to leave the resulting opening open indefinitely. If there is glazing on the balcony, dismantling work can be done in advance.
Important. Removal of the balcony block with dismantling of the wall requires approval from the management organization. If you do not obtain permission for redevelopment, difficulties may arise in the future when selling the apartment, which will entail additional costs.
Who to entrust the installation to?
Since French window units are large in size, and glass occupies most of the window, their installation must be carried out by a team of professionals. It is unlikely that you will be able to install windows without experience in this matter, much less alone.
Why French windows should be installed by specialists:
- If the glass is damaged, the construction company will be held responsible, not you;
- If any shortcomings arise during operation, the company that installed the windows will take care of them;
- After installing the structure, professionals will give recommendations for care and provide preventative care for the doors;
- Serious companies give a guarantee on doors only if the installation was carried out by the company's employees.
Please note that finishing the slopes is not included in the door installation services, so this work must be ordered separately or done on your own.
Variety of coating options and colors
Profiles can be painted in any color according to the RAL catalog, anodized or decorated. Moreover, it is possible to combine profile colors. So you can choose window designs to suit any exterior and interior.
- Painting according to RAL scale . A huge number of color solutions for any design (glossy and matte colors). Environmental friendliness and safety of the coating. The ability to realize effects that cannot be achieved using liquid paints.
- Anodizing. 9 coating colors . Anodizing ensures durability of the structure, resistance to corrosion, and resistance to abrasion. In addition, it allows you to emphasize the advantages of aluminum and convey the texture of the metal, which is most important for the high-tech style.
- Decoration (coating to match the wood structure) – 5 types of wood decor (“Golden Oak”, “Cherry”, “Walnut”, “White Ash”, “Irish Oak”). Durability of the coating, resistance to corrosion, possibility of combination (a profile with a thermal break can be decorated in two different colors on the inside and outside).
Of course, the company’s specialists will always tell you what type of decor is best to use in your case.

Aluminum profiles are also warm
At the dawn of the use of aluminum in the production of window profiles, the material was much criticized for its high thermal conductivity. This characteristic negated many other positive qualities of aluminum frames - safety margin, resistance to temperature deformation and service life. Because of this, for some time aluminum profiles were used only for unheated rooms or entrance areas in public buildings, where heat loss is not so critical, and reliability and the ability to create an extraordinary exterior come first.
The technology for creating thermal breaks has become a real start in life for the use of aluminum profiles in private housing construction. One of its options is when the profile is divided into outer and inner parts, between which gaskets made of polyamide and/or polyurethane, reinforced with fiberglass, are added. That is, we get a complete absence of cold bridges, since the outer and inner parts of the profile do not touch each other in any way.
Of course, creating a thermal break makes the profile a little more expensive, but in general its characteristics become higher, which in the long run significantly improves the price/quality ratio.

Which windows to choose for a private home?
How can you ensure the safety of panoramic windows?
Impact-resistant glass unit | Anti-burglary fittings |
If you are concerned about the security of your home, we recommend that you learn more about impact-resistant windows and burglary-resistant fittings. Impact windows prevent entry into a room through a broken window. The glass unit in such products can withstand not only a kick, but also blows from heavy objects. Anti-burglary fittings protect windows from burglary by removing the sash.
What doors can be used for panoramic glazing of cottages?
Often, when panoramic glazing of country houses and cottages, not only large windows are used, but also panoramic doors. Modern technologies allow you to maximize the view of the courtyard from your home, while perfectly retaining heat in the room, since the designs use energy-saving double-glazed windows. Panoramic doors can simultaneously serve as an entrance door and a large window. |
