Conservatory Doors:
The
choice of door for a conservatory is an
important choice, if sometimes one which
is overlooked. While conservatory doors
need to provide comfortable access, they
can also provide additional ventilation
or carry a theme from the house into the
conservatory.
The most popular design
of door for a conservatory is a French
door. A French door has many advantages:
it can be used as a single door for easy
access and when both doors are open provide
easy access for furniture. Outward opening
doors are a popular choice so there is
no detriment to the floor space of the
conservatory when the doors are open.
Our experience has shown us that most
of the time only one of the two doors
is used so we always try and design the
conservatory so the French doors are wide
enough for one door to give comfortable
access. We install all our French doors
with handles on both doors for ease of
use, all are fitted with heavy duty adjustable
flag hinges and high security locking.
Single doors can also be
fitted in a conservatory, these are often
used as a secondary door to allow access
from another elevation.
Tilt & Slide doors are
extremely effective doors. When open the
door slides behind a fixed panel allowing
permanent access without a door leaf to
consider. The great advantage a tilt &
slide patio door has is when opened in
the tilt position it becomes a large opening
vent providing additional ventilation
for the conservatory.
In-Line sliding doors are
less popular on conservatories. This is
because unlike tilt & slide patio
doors the sliding door sits on a track
permanently set behind the fixed panel.
This means that the depth of the outer-frame
is over twice the size of a normal window
or door outer-frame, so when an in-line
sliding door is fitted in a conservatory
sidewall it often creates a reveal where
the frame is bigger than the one it is
joining up to.
By fitting flat panelling
into the bottom section of a door it is
possible to fit a cat-flap to allow access
for pets if the conservatory covers the
original access point.

Low Aluminium Threshold:
For easy access to a conservatory the doors can be fitted with a low level aluminium threshold, these are especially effective if there is a big step down from the conservatory finished floor level.
In-Line Patio Doors:
Our In-Line patio doors incorporate many different design innovations, they are available in 2, 3 or 4
panel permutations, with steel rollers and steel track for smooth and durable operation. Double brush seals
around the frame and interlocks ensure that you are protected from the elements. Double glazed glass units help
reduce external noise and keep the heat inside your home. Our patio doors are available in white, golden oak, rosewood and mahogany.
