the garden. It is the most popular choice for letting extra light into

strong and does not warp or rot. Also, these do not need regular painting,
resulting in much lower maintenance costs.
Patio doors are made up of tough safety glass and hence they are highly
durable as well as safe. The safety glass of the patio doors is built following
the standard of the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF). If this glass does
break, it shatters into small pieces and hence there are no larger jagged edges
around.
Tilt and slide patio doors have an open (tilt in) position. This type of
doors permit locked ventilation. In this system of patio doors, you do not need
to leave the door wide open. Tilt and slide patio doors work very well on a warm
rainy day as they provide good ventilation without getting the carpets
wet.
The tough glass used in the patio doors being highly durable, is much more
secure compared to the ordinary glass. The locks and hinges of the patio doors
are fitted directly into the steel frames and thus the security systems
of the patio doors are strengthened.

doors installations are subject to Document L of the Building Regulations.

light in your home?

the security at the same time.
French doors have a unique design that provides a
luxurious and soothing effect to your home. They allow sunlight to pass through
it, creating a nice warm feeling in the cold countries without allowing much
heat to leak through. Why bother with windows to look outside and keep a
watch on the kids when the French doors can give a full
view?
In fact the double glazing on the French doors helps
to reduce the heat loss and as a result, the heating bills go
down. You must make sure that the thermal insulation of the French doors meets
the FENSA requirements.
Double Glazed French doors, have
become very popular in UK as compared to the old timber and metal French doors.
uPVC French doors moreover provide the facility of minimum maintenance and allow
easy cleaning, without the risk of warping and rotting.
New double-glazed French doors offer high security
locks, with a system of multipoint locking on the primary door and shoot bolts
on the secondary door.
French doors also support the process of ventilation
effectively. This is because these are designed with a tilt option. As a result,
one leaf can tilt back at the top and provide ventilation. But it does not allow
the rainwater to pass through the door.
French doors are installed in pairs, with extending
glass panes. A French door adds to the visual grace of your
home. One of the chief advantages of the French doors is that it is
difficult to identify, where the inside of your home ends and the outside
begins. People mostly opt for the French doors because both the doors open up
fully, unlike the patio doors that open only half the
width of the opening.

the French doors is safety glass. This safety glass is much tough than the
ordinary glass and thus there is the least chance of the glass getting shattered
due to footballs. The tough glass also saves you from external sound
pollution.
