Available in a range of sizes, types, and materials, new sliding patio doors create a modern, insulating opening and provide generous views out. Once the product arrives, it is then necessary to fit it into the opening. This guide keeps the process of installing patio doors simple and gives an overview of the key steps.
For all our patio doors, whether lift and slide, tilt and slide, bifold, or smart slide, the door frames are fixed to the wall in same way. Each patio door type then differs in terms of how the door sash itself is then installed into the frame.
