01

Operation and everyday use

The single door leaf is designed to open outwards. This defined movement shapes everyday use and should suit both the intended purpose and building situation. Actual operation depends on the handle 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. Record this feature with your chosen material, glazing, design, colour and handle when enquiring, so every part of the planned specification can be identified clearly.

When planning, allow for the outward movement of the single leaf. The area required should suit the installation setting and intended use of the access point. Include neighbouring building elements and regularly used outdoor spaces so the opening direction works well for the project.

The selected design also affects the door’s everyday appearance. A large uninterrupted glazed area looks different from glazing bars or a glass-and-panel combination; every available design opens outwards. When using the door, ensure the leaf sits correctly in the frame after closing and the lock is fully engaged. If it later takes unusual force to operate or lock, have the cause assessed by a qualified professional.

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 measures 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 holes of 14 mm are specified. This construction detail does not replace measuring the intended 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 the order size clearly separate when preparing information or discussing installation with us.

Available materials are pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. This lets you choose either an all-timber version or a timber-aluminium version. Always state the full material description 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 comes with a five-year manufacturer’s guarantee, subject to its terms. It also includes SPILKA hardware and ASSA 3-point locking. Keep these product details with the material, order size and design in your project records. If you are planning several doors or windows, a clear position number helps assign sizes and specifications to the right element.

05

Assessing the intended opening properly

A made-to-measure door starts with an opening that is clearly identified. Note which side of the building will receive the patio door and define the inside and outside faces. For alterations, also clarify which existing elements will remain and which will be removed. This helps prevent dimensions being taken from different reference points.

Because the leaf opens outwards, include the movement area outside in your planning. Check neighbouring walls, balustrades, railings, steps, projections, furniture, planters and other items stored temporarily or permanently there. Also consider paths and frequently used outdoor areas. The clear space needed depends on the dimensions of the made-to-measure door and the particular installation setting.

Document the intended opening clearly and use the same measuring points throughout. Individual figures without an obvious reference can easily be misunderstood. A simple sketch showing the inside and outside, opening position and adjacent components can usefully support written information. Photographs provide additional context but do not replace professional measurement.

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

For additional confidence, you can have the dimensions and building conditions checked by a suitable professional. This is especially helpful where floor build-ups, linings or connections may still change. Clearly separating structural-opening dimensions, the planned final condition and the required door element creates a sound basis for further discussion.

06

Visual composition, material and colour selection

The appearance of the patio door results from several related choices. Material establishes its character first: pine and oak are available as timber versions, both also offered with aluminium cladding. Always retain the full material description, because “timber” or “aluminium” alone does not identify the available construction clearly.

A colour selection is available for matching the façade, adjacent windows, roof details, doors and visible interior materials. In an existing building, integrating with established colours can work well; in a new design, a deliberate contrast can emphasise the entrance or patio access. State your colour preference as specifically as possible and consider it with the chosen material version.

The handle is also selectable and forms part of the visible overall composition. Describe the style you prefer and how it should work with the door colour and adjacent elements. Record the required handle together with material, colour, glazing and design in the enquiry.

The glass design has a particularly strong effect on visual order. A bar-free version creates a calm, continuous glazed surface, while horizontal bars produce stronger division. Vertical glass, combined horizontal and vertical bars, and panels add further accents. Compare the selected design with the lines of adjoining elements rather than considering the division in isolation.

For a coherent result, consider decisions in a fixed order: material version, colour, glazing, design and handle. Not every element needs its own accent. You can coordinate selected components deliberately or choose one clear focal point. Then record the complete chosen combination so all design decisions can be assessed together.

Alternatives for other door and window concepts

Not every project requires a single-leaf outward-opening patio door. Bloomcabin also offers other door and window types for different openings, uses and design aims. Compare the opening method, number of leaves or elements, movement space required and preferred glazing division with the requirements of your project.

If you are planning a double-leaf solution instead of one leaf, choose an outward-opening patio door with two leaves. A double-leaf historical-style version is also available for traditionally influenced architecture. Both product groups are made to measure and offered with different glazing-bar patterns and panel options. Always check the exact leaf arrangement against the selected configuration and intended opening.

An outward-opening exterior door is another option and, depending on design, can incorporate glazing, bars and door panels. If the leaf should move sideways, sliding doors are a separate product type. The outward-opening folding doors in the available patterns have three or five leaves and fold to the right. Compare these movement types with the available space and planned use of the access point early on.

A single glazed door sidelight is fixed and cannot be opened. It may suit designs that require an additional fixed glazed area beside a door element. The sidelight is made to measure and can be designed without bars, with different bar layouts, or combined with a panel. Plan its dimensions and arrangement together with the complete opening concept.

Fixed-glazed windows are available for openings intended solely as a fixed glass area. Alongside rectangular versions, fixed-glazed round windows are available as a separate shape option. Neither window type can be opened, and both are offered with double or triple insulated glazing. Compare form, material and glazing-bar pattern with the other project elements.

Prepare your enquiry in clear steps

Start by identifying the project clearly. Note where the door is to be installed and mark the relevant opening in your documents. If there are several doors or windows, assign each its own position reference. This allows later questions to relate to the right 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 the inside and outside, adjacent elements and the planned finished condition. Explicitly note any pending changes to floors, wall linings or connections. Do not use frame or leaf component measurements as a substitute for the size of the complete door element.

Then choose the material version. State in full whether you want pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak or aluminium-clad oak. Add your colour choice and preferred handle. General wording such as “to suit the house” is not enough for an unambiguous configuration; describe the desired design direction as precisely as possible.

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

Finally, bring every decision together in one consistent enquiry: project position, dimensions, material, colour, handle, glazing and design. Check that the same terms are used in the sketch and text, and that no details conflict. List open questions separately if needed. A compact, clearly structured summary helps us identify your requirements and provides a sound basis for discussing your made-to-measure patio door.
