Hardwood doors are a popular choice due to their elegant appearance and environmental friendliness. Despite being one of the oldest building materials in the world, nothing still comes close to the cozy and warm look of timber. As a natural material and renewable resource, it is also an ideal choice for those seeking the most sustainable solutions for their home. Finally, timber boasts excellent natural insulation abilities meaning lower energy bills for you.
Opening Mechanisms for any Home
Hardwood patio doors are available with a variety of different opening mechanisms. Most commonly, the following three options can be found:
- Lift and slide
- Tilt and Slide
- Bifold doors (folding doors)
All of these systems are ideal candidates for patio installation because they are practical and easy to use while also saving space. Especially for particularly small patios, a sliding door helps ensure the most efficient use of limited space.
When securely airing out a room, even when not at home, a tilt and slide opening mechanism is the best choice. Its leaf can be offset parallel to the frame and locked in this position, leaving a small gap for airflow without allowing uninvited guests to enter your home.
