Whether you are ordering a patio door for a new-build or renovation, taking correct measurements is the first important step to ensure an accurate final installation.
Thanks to this simple guide, relevant to our lift and slide, tilt and slide, smart slide, and bifold doors, noting dimensions is kept clear – below you will find information for measuring for patio door width and height as well as downloadable instruction pdfs and our contact details for slightly more complex cases or questions.
Materials
Before starting to measure, it is important to note that dimensions for patio doors should be taken from the inside. Upon measuring, a sketch of the wall opening should be drawn showing the inside view. The opening direction of the new patio door should then be added along with the required dimensions in mm.
Measurements should be taken regardless of whether the ordered door will be installed in a new-build or will function as a replacement in a renovation.
For renovations, even for replacements of current doors with blueprints, measurements should be taken before the old door has been removed.
The first step to measure a patio door is to take accurate dimensions of the wall opening’s width. These measurements can then be typed into our user-friendly configurator’s dimension ranges upon order.
The height required for your new patio door should now be determined. The process is similar to measuring the width and will also help to ensure an accurate fit.
Please note: the door height should typically be measured from the finished floor to the top of the wall opening
By clicking below you will find these measurement instructions as a downloadable pdf. Although the measuring process is the same for each of our patio door types, the pdfs provide additional clarity in terms of product-specific images.
If you have questions about measuring for patio doors, please contact our in-house experts on +49 711 860 60 200, via email at info@windows24.com, or by arranging an appointment.
Our team can also provide professional, tailored advice on how to measure for patio doors where customers wish for the threshold to be lower or for doors with roller shutters and frame extensions. In these cases the final width and height of the door may need to allow for specific boxes, rails, or parts that should fit into the wall opening or floor.
