French Doors vs Patio Doors

Patio Doors

Patio doors are ideal for those with restricted space because they slide along an in-line sliding fitted piece.

It means that the side of the door you open will collect at one end, so no doors open out and take up valuable garden space.

The beauty of our uPVC patio doors is that they can be fitted internally or externally, so you can opt for your patio door to work as a back door or as an entrance to a conservatory.

The door will likely add to the conservatory cost but will make the structure more accessible and energy efficient.

With their space-saving design, you will have more time to relax (they are also low maintenance) and enjoy the view of your garden.

Our in-line sliding patio doors give you easy access to your garden, which is especially important in these summer months!

They are a great alternative to bifold doors as you also get a home flooded with natural light thanks to the full-length glass panels that make your interior and exterior space work as one.

Due to the glass panels, you may be slightly concerned about security and the thermal efficiency of patio doors but there isn't any need to worry!

Our double-glazed patio doors offer excellent heat retention, achieve a u-value of up to 1.6 or better, have low E glass, a 4-point hook lock system, toughened safety glass, and the patio door locks are accredited by the police accredited ‘Secured by Design’ initiative.

We know that's a lot to get your head around, but rest assured, our made-to-measure patio doors will keep you safe and warm, with the cost of patio doors being worthwhile in the long run.

French Doors

French doors and patio doors are similar; they allow easy access to your garden, let natural light flood your home, can be used internally or externally, create a larger feeling in the interior, and are low-maintenance.

However, French doors are better suited to those with more external space as they open outwards. Thanks to the many available styles, designs, and colours, French doors help give your home that finishing look it could be missing.

At Value Doors we manufacture our own range of uPVC French doors. The frame is made from 70mm of high-quality uPVC, double-glazed, argon-filled glass and has warm edge spacer bars for thermal efficiency.

Security is also covered, like our patio doors; the locks boast the ‘Secured by Design’ accreditation and are reinforced with aluminium (for extra strength), anti-tamper handles, and a 12-point locking system!
