FAQs about our Window and Door installations

Slide Or Lift-And-Slide?



Patio doors in Swansea, Cardiff, South Wales, and West Wales have been thoughtfully designed to combine easy operation with excellent weather resistance. This smart design ensures smooth functionality and reliable weather sealing.


In most cases, these patio doors open with a horizontal sliding motion, providing a convenient entry method for doors of moderate size and weight. However, for larger and heavier doors, which can reach heights of up to 3 meters and weigh up to 400kg, a lift-aAnd-slide mechanism is recommended. With a simple 180° turn of the handle, the door panel is gently raised slightly, reducing friction between the door and frame.


This innovative feature allows even the largest and heaviest doors in Swansea, Cardiff, South Wales, and West Wales to move effortlessly, providing a smooth user experience.


Doors

Uninterrupted View



If you're in search of a clear, unobstructed view, consider the patio sliding door as your ideal choice. With larger door panels and expansive glass surfaces, it delivers a panoramic vista that outshines Bi-fold Doors.


In contrast to Bi-folding Doors, which incorporate multiple frames, the patio sliding door boasts uninterrupted glass, ensuring a seamless view. There are no vertical frames or disruptions, allowing for a truly breath-taking sight.


Experience the vast and unhindered scenery offered by a patio sliding door. It seamlessly connects your indoor and outdoor spaces, showcasing the beauty of the natural world. Explore our exceptional selection of patio sliding doors to find the perfect option for a view that is both seamless and stunning.


Open In Or Open Out?



Bifold doors have gained popularity among homeowners because of their outward-opening design.


Two key factors contribute to this preference. Firstly, the outward-opening feature of bifold doors doesn't intrude upon the interior space of the room in which they are installed, creating a sense of spaciousness and openness. Secondly, this outward design effectively shields your home from rainwater, making them a practical choice, particularly after wet weather.



Experience the advantages of increased roominess and protection from the elements by exploring our top-notch selection of bifold door options.


Clear Space

With Bifold Doors, you can choose to have all of the door leaves gathering to the left or right. Another option is to split the stack on each side. You can choose whether the doors open in or out. When making these decisions, it is worth remembering the doors will require space around them in order to open - you do not want to be moving household objects every time you wish to open the doors.

Traffic Door

There are numerous Bifold designs to choose from. The number of door leaves will be decided by the size of the opening. It is worth considering benefits of choosing a design with a traffic door. A traffic door operates like a normal back door which can be unlocked without requiring the rest to be unlocked. This is convenient when you want to access the garden quickly.

Bifold or Slider?

Making the right choice is important. We believe that each have their benefits. 


Bifolds enable you to bring the outside in, they are perfect for those summer seasons. During these periods you will have a seamless view. 


Sliders can provide you with a stunning view & seamless view with our thinnest 20mm Sight Lines. All seasons looking through them into the elements of our weather.


If you want to bring the outside in then bifolds are a great choice. Sliders are a great choice for admiring a view with no obstruction.
