Everything you ever wanted to know about replacement windows and doors but didn’t know who to ask What Are Patio Doors? Patio doors are popular additions to any home, providing easy access to patios or gardens while adding more natural light to a home. When choosing a patio door, it’s important to consider which type of patio door suits your needs and matches the aesthetic style of your home. Three of the most common patio door styles include: Garden Doors, also referred to as terrace doors, are double-doors that traditionally hinge in the middle so one door is fixed while the other operates. Double Doors, also referred to as French doors, are two-paneled doors that operate on hinges attached to the door frame. Usually, one panel is the main operational panel while the other is stationary. The stationary panel can be opened by releasing the locking mechanism. Sliding Patio Doors have one panel that slides horizontally providing access to and from the home.
