Patio doors.

Plan for the space around the door.

A sliding panel saves floor space in a narrow dining room. An in-swing French door needs clearance for the sweep of the door and nearby furniture. Bring a photo of the opening and the approach from outside.

Light, privacy and access

Founders lists sliding and French in-swing patio doors, sidelite options and blinds between the glass. The consultation is a chance to compare panel configurations against the width of your opening.

What should I consider before replacing a patio door?

Check the space for the door to open, how people reach the handle, and which direction you usually walk onto the patio. Ask about privacy, screen access and the transition at the threshold.
