The Types Of Doors You Can Choose From
There are many options for the types of doors you can choose for your home, and the best type will depend on the look you are going for and the budget you have available. You can select any of the following types of doors, and they are also available in various materials.
Bi-fold Doors: An excellent choice to help open your home to your garden is installing a bi-fold door. You can have the door run the entire length of the wall and open it up to welcome the garden inside your home.
French Doors: If you are looking for a traditional look and feel for your home, you may want to consider adding French doors to it. They are like having a conventional door that is the width of two, and it opens in the middle, and you can choose which side to open or have them both open and let some fresh air into your home.
Sliding Doors: A common sight in the back gardens of many homes in the UK is sliding doors. They allow plenty of light into your home, and they can open to let fresh air in but will not open as much as bi-fold doors.
Choosing The Best Material For Your Door
You also have lots of options of materials for the doors in your back garden, no matter what style of doors you choose. Some of the most common materials include:
Aluminium: If you are looking for robust garden doors, ones that will last, are easy to maintain and have excellent thermal properties, aluminium is a perfect choice. They are also one of the most expensive options, but they last a long time and look fantastic when installed.
Composite: Composite doors can also be an excellent choice, depending on the materials used to make the door. They are usually robust and straightforward to maintain, and the thermal properties will depend on the materials used in the door. They can also be an expensive option, but they are cheaper than aluminium.
