Panel configuration
Fixed and sliding panels determine the available opening. We help you compare the layouts offered by the selected system and the way you want to move through it.
A clear view. A simple movement.
Patio doors.
Slide into something new.
A glazed connection outdoors with sliding panels, planned around the opening, the view and the access you need.
Talk to Blue Sky
Make the most of the view.
Start with what you want to see from inside and how much opening you need in everyday use. A broad glazed area is only one part of the decision: access, cleaning, floor levels and the installation finish deserve the same attention.
Your choices, made clear.
Space around the doors
Sliding panels move along a track rather than swinging into the room or garden. Consider furniture, blinds and the position of handles when planning the space.
Finish & specification
Confirm the frame material, finish, glazing, hardware and threshold as one complete specification. The written quotation explains what is included.
What to send for a quotation.
- Your project postcode and whether you are replacing an existing door or creating a new opening.
- A photograph from inside and outside, plus approximate dimensions if you have them.
- Your preferred style, colour and opening arrangement, along with any access concerns.
We use this information to start the conversation. The final product, dimensions, performance information, installation work and price are confirmed in writing.
Good to know
Your questions,
answered.
Do sliding doors open across the whole width?
The clear opening depends on the number of tracks and the arrangement of fixed and moving panels. We confirm the opening for your chosen configuration.
Are patio doors the same as bifolds?
No. Patio doors slide along tracks, while bifold panels fold and stack. Our doors overview helps you compare how each arrangement uses the space.
