The best room is the outdoors. Green space is limited in London. And with London townhouses typically built at the turn of the 20th Century, long narrow properties have struggled to facilitate indoor outdoor living which has proven to enhance wellbeing. Our range of projects featuring patio doors in London have been configured according to the position, orientation and style of the property to ensure that light is maximised and space can be enjoyed even if limited.
Integrating London patio doors into a home.
Patio doors is generally a very broad term with various systems being selected for patio access such as casement doors, bi-folding doors and of course, sliding doors.
Using sliding doors for a patio extension offers the widest range of creative freedom while also providing the highest performance which is ideal for space-tight London homes. The majority of London projects are some form of extensions which is due to the limited space that most London homes must deal with, this opens an amazing possibility for London patio doors to be installed and configured to exactly what the homeowners require.
The minimal windows slim sliding doors are ideal for patio access due to the slim 21mm sightlines, flush thresholds and high thermal performance. Integrating minimal windows is as much of an investment in the property as it is the homeowners daily life.
