01

Operation and everyday use

The single door leaf is designed to open outwards. This clear direction of movement shapes everyday use and should suit the intended purpose and building situation. Actual operation depends on the handle specification selected for your order and the construction described.

The construction includes SPILKA hardware and ASSA 3-point locking, so the door locks at three points. Include this feature with your preferred material, glazing, design, colour and handle in your enquiry, so every part of the planned specification can be identified clearly.

When planning, allow for the single leaf to move outwards. The space provided should suit the installation situation and planned use of the entrance. Consider adjacent building elements and regularly used outdoor areas, so the opening direction works sensibly for the project.

Your chosen design also affects the door’s everyday appearance. A large uninterrupted glazed area looks different from divided glazing bars or a glass-and-panel combination; every available design uses a single outward-opening leaf. After closing, make sure the leaf sits correctly in the frame and that the lock is fully engaged. If the door later becomes unusually difficult to move or lock, have the cause checked professionally.

02

Construction and confirmed component dimensions

The door consists of an outward-opening leaf and its matching frame. For the timber version, the frame measures 105 × 57 mm. With aluminium cladding, the frame dimension is 115 × 57 mm. The door leaf measures 76 × 78 mm; this component dimension also applies to the aluminium-clad version. These figures describe individual components, not the depth, width or height of the complete door.

Installation drill holes of 14 mm are specified. This construction detail does not replace measuring the proposed opening or planning the fixings for the particular building situation. The overall external dimensions of the made-to-measure door depend on your order. Keep component dimensions and order dimensions clearly separate when preparing documents or discussing installation with us.

Available materials are pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. This lets you choose between an all-timber version and a timber-aluminium construction. Always use the full material name in your enquiry, so the required option is unambiguous and can be coordinated with colour, glazing and design.

The patio door is CE marked and supplied with a five-year manufacturer guarantee. It also includes SPILKA hardware and ASSA 3-point locking. Record these product details with the material, order size and design in your project documents. When planning several doors or windows, a clear position number helps assign dimensions and specification choices to the right element.

05

Assessing the planned opening correctly

A made-to-measure door begins with a clearly identified opening. Record which side of the building will receive the patio door and which faces are inside and outside. For renovations, also clarify which existing components will remain and which will be removed. This avoids dimensions being taken from different reference points.

Because the leaf opens outwards, its movement area outside must be included in the planning. Check neighbouring walls, parapets, railings, steps, projections, furniture, planters and other permanently or temporarily stored items. Also consider paths and frequently used seating areas. The free space required depends on the size of the made-to-measure door and the specific installation situation.

Document the planned opening clearly and use the same measuring points throughout. Isolated figures with no apparent reference can easily be misunderstood. A simple sketch showing the inside and outside, opening position and adjoining components can usefully supplement written information. Photographs can add context, but do not replace professional measurement.

Also consider floor build-ups and finished surfaces when planning the project. If the final condition will differ from the current site condition, this should be clear in the information supplied. The same applies to linings or connections added later. The stated frame and leaf dimensions are component dimensions and must not be used as the final order size for the complete door.

For greater confidence in planning, ask a suitable professional to check the dimensions and building conditions. This is especially helpful where floor build-ups, linings or connections are still changing. A careful distinction between structural opening size, planned finished condition and the required door element provides a sound basis for further coordination.

Visual composition, material and colour choice

The appearance of the patio door results from several connected decisions. Material sets the character first: pine and oak are available as timber versions, and both can also be supplied with aluminium cladding. Always retain the full material name, because “timber” or “aluminium” alone does not identify the offered construction precisely.

A colour choice is available to coordinate the door with the façade, nearby windows, roof details, other doors and visible interior materials. In an existing building, a restrained match with established colours can work well; in a new design, deliberate contrast can highlight an entrance or patio access. State your preferred colour as precisely as possible and consider it with the selected material.

The handle can also be selected and is part of the visible overall composition. Explain the design direction you prefer for the handle and how it should work with the door colour and neighbouring elements. Record the chosen handle specification clearly with the material, colour, glazing and design in your enquiry.

The glass design has a particularly strong effect on visual order. A version without bars creates a calm, continuous glass surface, while horizontal bars create more division. Vertical glass, combined horizontal and vertical bars, and panels add further accents. Compare the exact depiction of your preferred design with the lines of adjacent elements rather than considering it in isolation.

For a harmonious result, consider your decisions in a fixed sequence: material version, colour, glass construction, design and handle. Not every element needs to make its own statement. You can consciously coordinate individual elements or choose one clear focal point. Then record the selected combination in full so all design decisions can be considered together.

Alternatives for other door and window concepts

Not every project needs a single-leaf, outward-opening patio door. Bloomcabin therefore offers further door and window types for different openings, uses and design aims. Compare the opening type, number of leaves or elements, required movement area and preferred glass division with the needs of your project.

If you are planning a double-leaf solution rather than a single leaf, choose an outward-opening patio door with two leaves. A double-leaf historical-style version is also available for more traditional architecture. Both product groups are made to measure and available with different glazing-bar patterns and panel versions. Always check the exact leaf arrangement against the selected configuration and planned opening.

An outward-opening external door is another option and can be designed with glazing, bars and door panels, depending on the chosen design. If the leaf needs to move sideways, sliding doors are a separate product type. The available outward-opening folding doors have three or five leaves and fold to the right. Compare these movement types early with the available space and intended use of the entrance.

A one-piece glazed door sidelight is fixed and cannot be opened. It may suit designs that require an additional fixed glass area beside a door element. The sidelight is made to measure and can be designed without bars, with different bar layouts or in combination with a panel. Plan its dimensions and arrangement as part of the complete opening concept.

For openings intended solely as fixed glass areas, fixed-glazed windows are available. Alongside rectangular versions, fixed-glazed round windows offer a separate shape option. Neither window type can be opened, and both are available with double- or triple-glazed insulating glass. Compare shape, material and bar pattern with the other elements of your project.

Preparing your enquiry in clear steps

Start by identifying the project clearly. Note where the door is to be fitted and mark the relevant opening in your documents. Where several doors or windows are involved, use a separate position reference for each one. This keeps later questions tied to the correct element without mixing information from different areas.

Next, record the professionally checked order size or the measurement information needed to establish it. Add a sketch showing inside and outside, adjoining components and the planned final condition. If floors, wall linings or connections will still change, note this explicitly. Do not use frame or leaf component dimensions as a substitute for the size of the complete door element.

Then select the material version. Write in full whether you require pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak or aluminium-clad oak. Add your colour specification and handle preference. General wording such as “to suit the house” is not enough for an unambiguous configuration; describe the desired design direction as specifically as possible.

Then define the glazing and design. Distinguish between the technical glass build-up and the visible division. Use the complete design name, especially where glazing bars, vertical glass, a panel or infill are required. This keeps the intended composition readily understandable.

Finally, bring all decisions together in one consistent enquiry: project position, dimensions, material, colour, handle, glazing and design. Check that the same terms appear in both sketch and text, and that no details conflict. You can list open questions separately. A compact, well-structured summary helps us assign your wishes and provides a clear basis for discussing your made-to-measure patio door.
