Sliding Patio Doors

Sliding patio doors continue to rise on the popularity ladder in Burbank among new and old homeowners alike. They are contemporary, exceptionally convenient to handle and pose no space issues even in the narrowest of spaces. They are the best choice for small balconies and narrow alleyways in the house.

Sliding patio doors can be of three types depending on the number of panels in them.

1. Two Panel Sliding Patio Doors
   These have two panels, one fixed and one moving. Perfectly workable and comfortable for small rooms and tiny balconies, double panel sliding patio doors are a great solution to space issues in any house.
2. Three Panel Sliding Patio Doors
   Three panel sliding patio doors have three panels. Two panels are fixed and one is free to move. It is for spaces where you wish to widen up the portion letting in natural light but do not have the need to open up wider than a single panel.
3. Four Panel Sliding Patio Doors
   With two fixed and another two moving panels, four panel sliding doors are the widest of all. They are ideal for big indoor spaces that open into a beautiful porch or deck outside. With wide glass sliding patio doors, your indoor and outdoor spaces almost merge into each other offering a visual delight.

Materials used for Sliding Doors – The current most popular choice among homeowners is to get large, plain tempered glass sliding patio doors. Glass gives you a view, lets natural light in, and makes your space appear bigger. However, depending on your liking and specific needs, you could get something more opaque, like wooden barn sliding doors, shutter doors etc. Or, you could get a door with a wooden grid throughout interspersed with small glass pieces within the grid.

Even though tempered glass in itself is a very dependable material when it comes to safety, adding a wooden structure does add even more to the structural strength of your doors. So if your area happens to be notorious for breakins, including more wood or iron in your sliding patio doors will give you some additional peace of mind.
