Many homeowners have a pre-perceived idea around the security of patio doors. Due to the large area of glass some feel that it is an easy way to enter the property. However, it is important to understand that intruders will find ways to break in that draws the least attention. Smashing through double panes of glass will not be subtle and most likely alert neighbours.

Bi-fold doors are constructed from individual glazed panels (or leaves). Ideally you would look to fit bi-fold doors if you have the space to fit three or more panels. The size of the door opening that you are going to fit them will determine the number of leaves in the door set and therefore the price.

Standard patio doors are 2.1m high and come in 2,3 and 4 panels. However, there are many options to consider when choosing patio doors. Most of the time the size of the opening will denote the amount of panels. A standard panel width will be around 1m.

The cost to supply and fit patio doors depends on a variety of factors. The size of the door opening, the amount of panels and fixtures will all effect the overall cost of your patio doors.
