01

Using the door and planning its movement

The pair opens toward the interior, and one leaf provides the tilt-and-turn action. In its turn setting, that leaf swings open; in its tilt setting, it remains partly open. Allow for both movements when laying out the room. A marked sketch showing the view from indoors, the door position and nearby construction will make the requested arrangement easier to understand.

Assess the handle by touch as well as by its visible form: it will be operated regularly. You can choose a handle style for the order. Keep this selection distinct from the specified operating mechanism, which comes from Roto Frank. Record both parts of the specification clearly.

For an entrance used often, place particular emphasis on comfortable handle access and clear floor space around the moving leaf. The tilt setting can also be practical in a living room, guest room or home office. Before submitting the request, consider nearby furnishings, likely usage and who will operate the door.

Where several household members will use the door, make sure everyone understands the handle positions for the chosen version. When discussing the configuration, confirm how the actions are allocated between the leaves and the operating sequence intended for that specific door.

Routine attention should include the handle, moving leaves and accessible seal areas. Follow the care and adjustment guidance supplied for the selected configuration, and treat each surface according to its purpose.

02

Construction details and component dimensions

Choose pine or oak, either exposed as timber or finished outside with aluminium. Frame and door-leaf components share the listed section sizes. Without cladding, each measures 78 × 82 mm; for the clad construction, each measures 90.6 × 82 mm. These figures describe individual components. They do not specify the complete doorway size, which must be established separately for the order.

The specified mounting-hole dimension is 14 mm. It describes a construction detail, not the complete size of the door or the measurements needed at the building connection. Measure the individual project separately for a custom order, and do not use the frame or leaf section figures as finished ordering dimensions.

You may request either 2-pane or 3-pane insulating glass. The stated build-up for both choices includes argon gas, heat-reflective coating and a CHR warm edge. Silicone is used at the glazing seals, while the operating hardware is from Roto Frank. In the inquiry, state the preferred glass construction and handle; the hardware manufacturer is fixed product data.

CE marking is stated for this door, together with a 5-year commercial warranty. The remaining technical particulars include the chosen material, insulating glass, silicone seals, Roto Frank hardware and component measurements. Complete the inquiry with the required overall size plus the material version, colour, handle and glazing-bar selection.

Keep standard product data separate from the decisions for your project. The seals, Roto Frank hardware and component measurements belong to the door specification. Overall size, material version, colour, handle, 2-pane or 3-pane glass and glazing-bar layout belong to the custom request. This distinction helps prevent a frame-section figure from being used as an opening measurement.

05

Assessing the opening before ordering

Begin a made-to-size request by measuring the actual building opening and noting the reference points for every measurement. The published frame and door-leaf figures describe individual components, not the finished opening or order size. Precise labels will keep the project dimensions separate from those technical data.

Allow for the inward movement of the door when reviewing the opening. Check the required clearance around walls, furniture, radiators, windowsills, curtains and other fixed or movable items. Walking routes and the planned room layout should also leave practical space for both swing and tilt use.

Sketch both leaves and describe the intended job of each in the project notes. Label the drawing as an indoor or outdoor view before assigning left and right. A clear viewpoint prevents those directions being reversed during discussion. It also lets the team discuss the arrangement without treating either leaf’s final function as already confirmed.

Describe the construction around every edge of the opening, including the wall assembly, floor area and transition to the patio. Photographs or an annotated sketch can add useful context. Clear information about the opening and its surroundings helps the custom door and its operating space to be reviewed together.

Sketch the proposed location to scale and mark the space swept by each moving leaf. Add furniture and walking routes so the drawing represents how the room will actually be used. Dining chairs may govern the available clearance in one setting; a passageway may govern it in another. Resolve the swing space before choosing finishes or decorative patterns.

06

Bringing the material, colour and details together

The finished appearance depends on the timber and its treatment as well as the colour, handle, glazing and bar pattern. Choose between oak and pine, with aluminium cladding optional for each. Spell out the species and cladding together in the enquiry. Describing a colour alone does not establish which material construction is required.

Colour is another selectable detail. Existing windows, exterior finishes and interior surfaces can provide a useful reference, but the requested colour should still be identified as precisely as possible. General terms such as “light,” “natural” or “dark” suggest a direction rather than a final specification.

For a quieter composition, pair a restrained colour with the no-bar layout. Horizontal lines or a pattern extending in both directions will make the glazing more visibly structured. Assess the geometry alongside neighbouring windows, exterior elements and the opening’s proportions, then quote the catalogue wording for the chosen design.

The handle affects the overall look as well as daily operation. Coordinate its style with the selected material and colour, while also considering a comfortable grip for the people who will use it. The handle is selectable; the remaining stated operating hardware is supplied by Roto Frank.

When deciding between exposed timber and an aluminium-clad timber version, record the complete material description. You may also provide colour names and visible divisions from existing building elements as design references. They establish the intended direction but do not promise an exact match or identical appearance in every lighting condition.

Related products for different opening needs

Swing direction may determine which door family works for the project. If opening into the room is unsuitable, compare this model with the outward-opening patio-door range, which includes single-leaf, double-leaf and heritage-style versions. Consider how each arrangement affects indoor space, the patio and regular walking routes.

A different access point may call for an exterior door that swings outdoors or for a sliding door. A sliding leaf travels sideways rather than using the inward swing and tilt action described here. Consult each model’s own construction, material, glazing and operating information instead of transferring this door’s specification to another product.

If the opening does not need to provide passage, a non-opening window may be more appropriate. Related choices include a rectangular fixed-glazed window and a round fixed-glazed window. Neither opens, so their function differs from that of an entrance door.

Start by deciding whether the opening needs a hinged entrance, sideways-moving access or a fixed glazed surface. Then compare the relevant products by swing direction, number of leaves, material and glass construction. Defining the required function first narrows the selection before detailed configuration begins.

Preparing the details for your inquiry

Start the enquiry with the project location and a brief description of the work. Name the product clearly as the double-leaf patio door opening inward. This identifies the required movement and leaf count. It avoids confusion with a slider, a door that swings outdoors, a single-leaf model or a separately specified heritage version.

Next, provide verified measurements for the building opening and explain the reference point for each one. An interior-view sketch may be helpful. Describe the neighbouring walls, floor, threshold and patio transition so the installation context is clear. Do not replace these site dimensions with the published frame or leaf component figures.

State the complete material version and identify the desired colour as precisely as you can.

Choose the 2-pane or 3-pane insulating-glass construction, followed by the glazing-bar layout. Use its exact catalogue wording because “horizontal bars” may refer to several designs. In particular, preserve the distinction between labels that say “glass-dividing” and those that do not.

Identify the handle you want and list any unresolved questions. Ask for clarification where the relationship between the operating functions and visual details is unclear. Review the complete enquiry before sending it: name the product, record the opening dimensions and viewing direction, and specify the material, colour and insulating glass. Copy the precise pattern description and associate it with the handle choice. This gives the reviewer a coherent specification to assess.

Is custom sizing available for this patio door?

Yes. The door can be made to the required project size. Provide carefully verified opening dimensions and explain the reference points used. Details about the surrounding construction will help place those measurements in context.

Can I choose the handle?

Yes. A handle style can be selected for the order. Consider how it feels in regular use as well as how its finish looks. The choice applies to the handle and does not make every other hardware component independently selectable.

Does the door open indoors or outdoors?

It is designed to open toward the interior, with one leaf providing tilt-and-turn operation. If the room cannot accommodate that movement, compare the related outward-opening patio doors in single-leaf and double-leaf forms.

Which material versions are available?

Pine and oak are both available as timber versions or with aluminium cladding. State the entire material description in the inquiry so the wood species and cladding selection are clear.

Are glazing-bar layouts offered?

Yes. Options range from leaves without bars to horizontal glass-dividing layouts, other horizontal arrangements, and patterns with horizontal and vertical lines. Enter the selected catalogue wording in full.

What is included in the insulating glazing?

The choice is between 2-pane and 3-pane insulating glazing. Both constructions include argon fill, a CHR warm edge and heat-reflective coating, with silicone at the glazing seals. State which glass construction you want when making the inquiry.

What marking and warranty come with the door?

CE marking applies to this patio door, which is also offered with a 5-year commercial warranty. These are separate product details: one identifies the stated marking, while the other sets the duration of the manufacturer’s warranty promise.

What should I include in my inquiry?

Provide the building-opening dimensions, material version, colour, 2-pane or 3-pane glass choice, exact glazing-bar layout and handle selection. Notes about surrounding construction and the clearance available for door movement are also helpful.
