More about the 8ft Patio Doors Collection

Patio doors can be an attractive and functional addition to any home, as they allow natural light to enter the home and provide a convenient way to access outdoor living spaces. Generally regarded as a type of bifold / sliding door, we also have a great range of french patio doors, any of which provide a focal point to access to a patio, deck, or backyard.

There are several reasons why homeowners might choose to install patio doors:

  1. Increased natural light: Patio doors allow more natural light to enter the home, which can make the interior feel brighter and more welcoming.
  2. Improved access to outdoor spaces: Patio doors provide an easy way to access outdoor living spaces, such as a patio or deck. This can be especially useful for homeowners who enjoy spending time outdoors.
  3. Enhanced visual appeal: Patio doors can be a stylish and attractive feature of a home's exterior, and can help to increase the overall curb appeal of the property.
  4. Increased energy efficiency: Many modern patio doors are designed to be energy efficient, which can help to reduce heating and cooling costs. Our 8ft patio doors have low u-values.
  5. Enhanced security: Patio doors are available with a variety of security features, such as lockable handles and reinforced frames, to help protect against burglaries and other forms of forced entry.

8ft Patio Door Installation

Installing 8ft patio doors can be a complex and time-consuming project, depending on the specific type of door and the condition of the existing opening. In general, it is recommended that patio door installation be performed by a professional contractor who has the necessary skills, tools, and experience to do the job safely and effectively.

If you are considering installing 2400mm patio doors yourself, it is important to carefully review the installation instructions and make sure you have all of the necessary tools and materials before starting the project. You should also be aware that installing patio doors often requires cutting and modifying the opening in your exterior wall, which can be challenging and requires a high level of accuracy.

If you are not confident in your ability to install patio doors, or if you are concerned about the potential risks involved, it is generally best to hire a professional contractor to handle the installation. This will ensure that the job is done correctly and safely, and will help to protect against any potential problems that could arise during the installation process.


Questions about 8ft Patio Doors

When did patio doors become popular?

Patio doors have been around for several decades, but they became more popular in the 1950s and 1960s during the mid-century modern architectural movement. This movement was characterized by a focus on simplicity, functionality and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

During this time, patio doors were seen as a way to bring natural light into the home and create a connection with the outdoors. Sliding glass doors, in particular, became a popular choice, as they provided a sleek and modern look that was in line with the mid-century modern aesthetic.

Since then, patio doors have remained a popular choice for homeowners who want to enhance the beauty and functionality of their homes while creating a connection with the outdoors.
