ABOUT GLASS PATIO DOORS

The most popular type of glass patio door has a sliding operation, and is made from UPVC plastic. The finish is typically white or wood-effect coloured. Sliding glass patio doors may also be made of timber or aluminium. An alternative to the sliding operation is the French window operation, in which the doors open on side hinges. This has the advantage that the whole window area can be opened to the outside.
