01

Operation and everyday use

The patio door has one inward-opening tilt-and-turn leaf. In turn mode, the leaf swings fully into the room to create access. Tilt mode places it in a second position when the doorway is not needed. This combines two ways of operating the door within a single-leaf design. When planning the room, allow for both the inward swing and the tilted position on the internal side.

The handle controls both turn and tilt positions and can be selected to suit your preferred specification. Include your handle preference as a separate item in your enquiry, apart from timber species, colour and glazing-bar design. Roto Frank hardware forms part of the door’s construction. This keeps the functional hardware specification clearly separate from the visible choice of handle.

Use turn mode for everyday access to the terrace. Tilt mode is suitable when you do not want the leaf fully open. The appropriate setting depends on your room and routine. When operating the door, move the handle fully into its intended position and keep the leaf’s travel area clear.

Allow sufficient clear space indoors so the door remains comfortable to use. Furniture, curtains, plants and other items should not obstruct either the handle or the leaf’s swing. Consider possible future changes to the room layout, particularly where the door will be used often for outdoor access. A room sketch can help incorporate the required operating space into the furnishing plan early.

02

Construction and confirmed component dimensions

The construction comprises an outer frame and one door leaf. Without aluminium cladding, the outer frame measures 78 × 82 mm; with aluminium cladding, it measures 90.6 × 82 mm. The door leaf is likewise 78 × 82 mm without cladding and 90.6 × 82 mm with it. These figures apply only to the named components. The complete patio door’s width and height are determined separately for your project.

Installation holes are specified at 14 mm. This is the installation-hole measurement, not an ordering dimension or the size of the building opening. Because the patio door is made to measure, its overall dimensions are set for the individual project. In your enquiry, state clearly whether each figure refers to the existing opening or the required door element. This keeps project dimensions, component sections and the installation-hole measurement distinct.

Material choices are pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak, and oak with aluminium cladding. The glazing is sealed with silicone, while the hardware is supplied by Roto Frank. Material finish, glazing seals and hardware each have their own role in the product construction. You can also choose colour and handle, keeping visible design decisions separate from the structural specification.

The patio door carries CE marking and is offered with a 5-year commercial guarantee. Double and triple insulating glass are available. For a complete enquiry, combine the required overall dimensions with your chosen timber, aluminium cladding, glazing, colour, glazing-bar design and handle. Clearly assigning each selection helps define the made-to-measure door as one complete configuration.

Assessing the intended opening correctly

A made-to-measure patio door begins with careful recording of the proposed building opening. Measure the opening in several places and note where each reading was taken. Wall construction, floor junctions and adjoining components may be important when interpreting the measurements. Clearly identify figures as opening dimensions or required element dimensions. If the floor or wall build-up will change, describe that project stage as well.

Because the door leaf turns inwards, its swing must be included in room planning. Check its route from closed to the required open position. Radiators, furniture, window sills, curtains, plants and other fixed or movable items may be relevant. The handle should also remain readily accessible. The clearance required for your project depends on the selected dimensions and the particular room.

Consider tilt mode as well as the turn opening. Above and directly in front of the leaf, the planned furnishings should not prevent the intended operation. In a room where furniture changes regularly, mark the operating zone on a floor plan or sketch. This helps retain practical access and tilt function when arranging the space.

With your measurements, note the side from which you view the opening and identify the inside and outside. Also record the intended floor build-up if it is not yet complete. Labelled photographs or a simple sketch can clarify the spatial arrangement. Do not use the outer-frame and leaf section dimensions as overall dimensions: opening dimensions, required element dimensions and construction notes should each be identified separately in the enquiry.

06

Material, colour and visual composition

The patio door’s appearance results from several coordinated decisions. Start with pine or oak, then decide whether the timber should have aluminium cladding. Next select colour, glazing-bar design and handle. The glass construction also contributes to the overall specification. Naming every point individually gives a clear record of your preferred material, glazing and visible design.

Pine and oak are each available with or without aluminium cladding. This gives four material finishes: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak, and oak with aluminium cladding. Select the material version before finalising colour, so your colour choice can be assigned clearly. If the door is to complement existing windows, doors or the façade, mention these elements as visual references in your enquiry.

Colour is one of the selectable features of the patio door. Describe your preferred shade or colour direction as specifically as possible and state the selected material finish. Clear reference details or useful photographs can help when matching existing building elements. Consider colour, timber, aluminium cladding and glazing-bar design together to create a coherent overall appearance.

The glazing-bar design determines how the glazed area of the single leaf is divided. Without bars, the continuous glass surface takes priority; horizontal bars, or horizontal and vertical combinations, create a more defined structure. Select one of the complete design names. The handle is another visible choice and is specified independently of the Roto Frank hardware. A useful sequence is material finish, colour, glazing, glazing-bar design and handle.

07

Which related door or window solution suits?

If an inward-opening tilt-and-turn function does not suit your room, compare other opening types. A single-leaf outward-opening patio door moves the swing area outside. Double-leaf patio doors are another product group where two leaves are required. Check material, glazing, dimensions and design options for every model separately, as specifications vary by product type.

For a different movement direction, the laterally sliding Patio Life version may also be suitable. Its leaf moves sideways rather than turning into the room like this model. Historic-style patio doors have their own design direction and are available as single- or double-leaf outward-opening products. An outward-opening exterior door is another category when an exterior door, rather than a patio door, is required.

Fixed-glazed windows are intended for areas where non-opening glazing is wanted. The related selection includes a classic fixed-glazed window and a round fixed-glazed window. Both are window-category products and therefore serve a different purpose from the tilt-and-turn patio door described here. They may be relevant where additional fixed glass areas are planned in the same project.

When comparing, first identify the required product category and movement: inward-opening patio door, outward-opening patio door, laterally sliding door, exterior door or fixed glazing. Then compare leaf count, material options, glazing and design for the relevant product. The following related products provide useful starting points:

Patio Life lift-and-slide patio doors, Single-leaf outward-opening patio door, Historic-style single-leaf outward-opening patio door, Double-leaf outward-opening patio door, Historic-style double-leaf outward-opening patio door, Outward-opening exterior door, Fixed-glazed window, Round fixed-glazed window.

Prepare your enquiry step by step

Start your enquiry with the complete product name and a short outline of the project. Name the “single-leaf inward-opening patio door” and explain where it will be used. Also state whether it replaces an existing door or whether the opening forms part of a new project. This makes the product type, opening function and basic installation situation clear from the outset.

Then add your measurements, clearly marking whether they are dimensions of the existing building opening or required overall dimensions of the door. A labelled sketch can show where readings were taken and which side is inside or outside. Keep these project dimensions separate from outer-frame, door-leaf and installation-hole dimensions. Also mention planned changes to the floor or wall build-up.

Next, select one of the four material finishes: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak, or oak with aluminium cladding. Add the required colour and, where relevant, describe how the door should relate visually to existing windows, doors or façade elements. The more clearly the material and colour preferences are linked, the easier the design is to discuss further.

The next step is to determine the glazing and glazing-bar design. State whether double or triple insulating glass is required and use the complete name of the chosen design. Write “without glazing bars” if the glass area is to remain undivided. For a glass-dividing option, the term “glass-dividing” is part of the clear designation. This records glass construction and visible division as two separate choices.

Finish your specification with the preferred handle and any project-specific questions. A complete enquiry includes the product name, installation situation, clearly labelled dimensions, material finish, colour, double or triple insulating glass, full design name and required handle. Additional photographs or a labelled sketch can support the description of the site. This structured order provides a sound basis for discussing your made-to-measure, single-leaf inward-opening patio door.

Is this patio door available made to measure?

Yes. This single-leaf patio door is available made to measure. For your enquiry, send carefully taken measurements and state whether they describe the existing building opening or the required element dimensions. Details of floor and wall build-ups, plus a labelled sketch, can further clarify the spatial arrangement.

Which materials are available?

Choose from pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak, and oak with aluminium cladding. It is best to decide the material finish before selecting colour and to state both choices separately. This makes clear which timber is required and whether the door is to have aluminium cladding.

Which glazing can I choose?

Double and triple insulating glass are available. Both options have a heat-reflective coating, a CHR warm-edge spacer and argon gas filling. The glazing seals are silicone. Include the required glass construction with the material, glazing-bar design, colour and handle in your enquiry.

Can the door be designed with glazing bars?

Yes. The single door leaf can be specified without glazing bars or with one of the available designs. These include horizontal glass-dividing bars, horizontal bars, and combinations of horizontal and vertical bars. Use the complete design name in your enquiry, especially where the variant is described as “glass-dividing”.

Can I choose a colour for the patio door?

Yes. Colour is a selectable feature. State your preferred shade or colour direction together with the material finish. If existing windows, doors or façade elements are to serve as references, you can describe them or show them in useful photographs.

Can I select the handle?

Yes, a handle selection is available. State your preferred handle as a separate specification item. The patio door’s structural hardware is supplied by Roto Frank, so handle choice and hardware brand are separate details within your product configuration.

Does this patio door open outwards as well?

This model uses an inward-opening tilt-and-turn leaf. If you require the swing area outside, compare the separately available single-leaf outward-opening patio door. Check its own material, glazing, construction and design specifications.

How long is the guarantee for the patio door?

This patio door has a 5-year commercial guarantee. It is additional to, and does not limit, applicable rights and remedies under Australian Consumer Law. Keep the order and specification documents so the product, dimensions and selected features can be identified clearly later.
