01

Operation and everyday use

The patio door has two leaves and opens into the room. This product type includes an inward-opening tilt-and-turn leaf: the relevant leaf opens in turn position and remains partly open in tilt position. Allow for both movements when planning the room, and mark the internal view, door position and adjacent building elements on a separate sketch. This makes the required version clear in your enquiry.

The handle is the part of the door you use directly each day. As a handle choice is available, you can select this visible, regularly touched component to suit both use and design. Roto Frank supplies the hardware as the door’s technical fitting system; handle selection is a separate purchasing decision.

For a patio entrance used regularly, an accessible handle position and enough unobstructed space deserve particular attention. In a study, living room or guest room, the tilt position may also be useful day to day. Before enquiring, consider how often the door will be used, which furniture will sit nearby and which handle design will be comfortable for the intended users.

If several people will use the patio door, a brief explanation of the handle positions and operation is advisable. This helps everyone use the turn and tilt functions appropriately. When specifying the door, also ask how the functions are allocated between the two leaves and which operating sequence applies to your particular configuration.

Regular use also calls for attention to accessible contact surfaces. Treat the handle, leaves and sealing areas according to their respective functions. Follow the information for the selected version when cleaning or making adjustments.

Construction, component sizes and technical details

Choose a construction in pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak or aluminium-clad oak. The stated component size for the outer frame is 78 × 82 mm; with aluminium cladding, it is 90.6 × 82 mm. The door leaf is likewise stated as 78 × 82 mm, or 90.6 × 82 mm with aluminium cladding. These figures are dimensions of the individual components, not the overall depth, width or height of the complete patio door.

Mounting holes are specified as 14 mm. This refers to holes in the intended construction, not the overall door dimensions or required building connection measurements. Record project-specific dimensions separately for a made-to-measure order; the listed frame and leaf dimensions are not finished ordering sizes.

Choose double or triple insulating glazing. Both options include a heat-reflective coating, CHR warm edge and argon gas. Silicone forms the glazing seals, and the fittings are from Roto Frank. In your enquiry, specify the glazing and handle you prefer; the hardware brand is part of the product specification.

The patio door is CE marked and offered with a 5-year guarantee. Its technical specification also covers materials, glazing, silicone seals, Roto Frank fittings and the listed component dimensions. For a customised order, add the overall size and your selected material version, colour, handle and glazing-bar design.

Keep technical product data separate from project-specific order details. Product data includes the silicone seals, Roto Frank fittings, and outer-frame and door-leaf dimensions. Order choices cover the complete door size, material version, colour, handle, double or triple glazing, and glazing-bar layout. This distinction makes the enquiry clearer and prevents component dimensions being mistaken for order dimensions.

05

Assessing the intended opening correctly

With a made-to-measure patio door, selection begins with the actual building opening. Measure it carefully and record what each dimension refers to. The component dimensions for the outer frame and door leaf are not finished opening or ordering dimensions. Clear descriptions prevent technical component data being confused with your project dimensions.

When assessing the opening, also allow for the inward swing of the door. Check the clear space needed inside and include nearby walls, furniture, radiators, window sills, curtains and other movable or fixed elements. Circulation routes and planned furniture are equally important when deciding whether the door can be opened comfortably and used in tilt position.

As this patio door has two leaves, show the leaf arrangement and function allocation clearly in the project drawing. Do not rely only on terms such as “left” and “right”; always state whether the door is viewed from inside or outside. A labelled sketch helps communicate the viewing direction and building situation without assuming a particular arrangement.

Consider the adjoining elements on every side of the opening. Describe the wall construction, floor area and transition to the patio so the installation setting is clear in your enquiry. Add photos or a simple labelled sketch if useful. Clearly showing the opening and surroundings makes it easier to discuss the made-to-measure door and its movement space together.

A useful check is a simple scale floor-plan sketch. Draw the intended door position and its movement area, then compare this with planned use of the room. In a dining area, the location of the table and chairs may be decisive, whereas a passageway is mainly about circulation. This lets you assess clearance for the particular project before finalising material, colour and glazing-bar design.

06

Colour, material and visual composition

The patio door’s visual effect comes from the combination of material version, colour, handle, glazing and glazing-bar layout. Pine and oak are available as timber species, each also offered with aluminium cladding. Use all four material names in full, because “with aluminium cladding” identifies the particular version rather than simply describing a colour.

Colour is one of the available choices. Relate your preference to the façade, nearby windows, interior finishes or other visible building elements, and identify the colour as precisely as possible. Broad terms such as “light”, “natural” or “dark” can be interpreted differently, so treat them as an initial style direction rather than a final colour specification.

For a restrained composition, combine a subtle colour with a door without glazing bars. If you want a more divided surface, horizontal or combined horizontal and vertical glazing-bar patterns are available. Compare their lines with neighbouring windows, façade elements and the proportions of the intended opening. The complete name of each design remains decisive.

The handle also contributes to the visible overall effect while serving daily operation. Match its design to the material, colour and preferred style of the door, while considering comfortable use for the intended users. Handle selection is a separate purchasing decision; the remaining patio-door fittings are from Roto Frank.

When weighing up timber against a timber version with aluminium cladding, record the full material designation rather than only the preferred material. This keeps the enquiry precise. For a project with existing building elements, their colour names and visible divisions can be useful references. They create a shared basis for design discussion without promising an exact match or a particular effect in every light condition.

Related product types for different planning priorities

Not every opening needs the same type of door. If opening direction is critical to your project, compare this inward-opening patio door with related outward-opening models. These include single-leaf and double-leaf patio doors as well as separate historical-style versions. Alongside the number of leaves, consider which movement direction suits the room, patio and circulation routes.

An outward-opening external door or sliding doors may also suit other access situations. With a sliding door, one leaf moves sideways, giving a fundamentally different movement from an inward-opening tilt-and-turn patio door. Compare each model according to its own material, glazing, construction and operating information.

If no passage is needed at the intended location, fixed-glazed windows may be a suitable planning alternative. Related options include a fixed-glazed window and a fixed-glazed round window. Neither product type opens, so each serves a different purpose from a patio door that provides access.

When comparing options, first establish the basic purpose of the opening: should it provide access, require sideways sliding movement, or be a non-opening glazed area? Then compare the opening direction, number of leaves, material and glazing for each product. This approach narrows down suitable product types early and makes later detailed planning easier.

You can then view these related product types: Single-leaf outward-opening patio door, Historical-style single-leaf outward-opening patio door, Double-leaf outward-opening patio door, Historical-style double-leaf outward-opening patio door, Outward-opening external door, Sliding doors, Fixed-glazed window, Fixed-glazed round window.

Preparing your enquiry in clear steps

Start with a clear project description. State the intended installation location and specify that you are enquiring about the “double-leaf inward-opening patio door”. The full product name avoids confusion with single-leaf or outward-opening patio doors, historical-style versions and sliding doors.

Then add carefully measured dimensions for the intended opening. Label every measurement clearly and, where useful, include a simple sketch showing the view from inside. Describe adjoining wall, floor and patio areas so the building situation can be understood. Do not use frame or leaf component dimensions as substitutes for project-specific measurements.

Record the complete material version and your preferred colour as precisely as possible.

Next choose the insulating-glass build-up and record the glazing-bar design’s exact name. A shortened phrase such as “with horizontal glazing bars” could refer to several layouts. Be especially clear about whether the name specifies glass-dividing bars or bars without that wording.

Finish with your handle choice and any remaining questions. If necessary, ask how the leaf functions and design elements are arranged. Check that your enquiry lists the product name, measurements, viewing direction, material version, colour, double or triple glazing, complete design name and handle. These details allow Bloomcabin to understand your project and discuss the required patio door clearly.

Is this patio door available made to measure?

Yes. Made-to-measure production is one of the available purchasing features. Send us carefully established dimensions for the intended opening. Additional information about the installation situation helps us link your enquiry clearly to the planned project.

Can I choose a handle?

Yes. Handle selection is an available purchasing feature. As the handle is the direct contact point during daily operation, it should be chosen deliberately. It does not, however, provide free selection of the other hardware components.

Does this patio door open inwards or outwards?

This patio door opens inwards. Its stated product type includes an inward-opening tilt-and-turn leaf. If your room instead requires outward opening, compare the clearly labelled single-leaf or double-leaf outward-opening patio doors in the related range.

Which material versions can I choose?

Choose from pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. State the required version in full in your enquiry so the timber species and the presence or absence of aluminium cladding are unambiguous.

Are glazing-bar designs available?

Yes. Besides the version without glazing bars, named options include horizontal glass-dividing bars, horizontal bars, and combined horizontal and vertical bars. Use the complete design name in your enquiry.

How is the glazing constructed?

Choose double or triple insulating glass. Both glass units have a heat-reflective coating, a CHR warm edge and argon fill. Silicone is used for the glazing seals. State which of the two glass build-ups you require in your enquiry.

Is the patio door CE marked and supplied with a guarantee?

Yes. The patio door is CE marked and offered with a 5-year commercial guarantee. CE marking and the guarantee are separate product details. For transactions covered by Australian Consumer Law, this guarantee does not replace the consumer guarantees that apply automatically.

What should my enquiry include?

Include the opening dimensions, material and colour choices, preferred glazing, complete glazing-bar design name and handle choice. Also describe adjacent building elements and the required movement space.

Configure your patio door with purpose

Configure the double-leaf inward-opening patio door for your project.
