Patio doors are a smart, practical choice door to let more light flood into your home and allow easy access to your garden.
The sliding mechanism to open the door is space saving, with no doors swinging open meaning maximum use of inside and outside space can be maintained.
Providing excellent protection from draughts and with secure multi-point locks, we offer a choice between a contemporary aluminium or easy to maintain uPVC patio door.

At Everest, we understand that choosing new sliding patio doors can be a daunting task. So to help you here are some frequently asked questions that you might find useful.
Many homeowners have a preconceived idea that patio doors are easier to break into because of the large area of glass. This tends to be unfounded as invariably intruders don’t smash glass (modern double glazing is actually very hard to smash anyway) but would instead aim for the locking mechanisms. Everest uses a 3* cylinder locking mechanism which is anti-bump, anti-pick and anti-drill.
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 number of panels. A standard panel width will be around 1m. Everest can offer up to 6m wide for a 4 panel and up to 2.6m high dependent on configuration.
With such a large amount of glass there is a tendency that they will be less efficient than having a smaller standard window built into the wall. However, our patio doors are argon filled and use energy-efficient glass that harvests heat from the sun reducing the impact of the large glass surface area.
Both types of doors offer their own benefits. Being able to open up the whole of the entrance aperture with Bi-fold doors are great on a summer's day and can add real impact to a room. However, bi-fold doors do tend to have more frame and need external space for the door to swing open. Sliding patio doors only open up 50% of the door entrance but have less frame so allow for more light and are space saving when it comes to their sliding functionality.
Everest offers a range of 6 colours for uPVC and any RAL colour for aluminium.
