01

Opening and everyday use

The leaves of this patio door open outward. This affects both use of the passage and arrangement of the adjoining areas. Open leaves require no swing space indoors; outside, however, sufficient clear movement space is needed. Position patio furniture, planters and other movable items so the door can be opened fully and without obstruction.

The double-door arrangement divides the passage into two leaves. An asymmetric version has specific dimensions and a proportional rule explained in the following section. Assess this division against the planned overall size. Also consider how circulation routes, furniture and clear outdoor space work with the door opening.

The specification includes SPILKA and ASSA fittings and 3-point locking. You can also select a handle from the available range. Because the handle is used regularly and contributes to the door's appearance, consider it alongside the colour, timber species and glazing-bar or panel design.

For an organised everyday layout, it is worth thinking through typical use situations. Where the passage will be used frequently, consider circulation routes and the position of loose items on both sides. If heritage character is the priority, the glazing-bar or panel design can carry greater weight.

02

Construction and component dimensions

The construction data provides the technical basis for specifying this patio door. The outer frame is stated as 105 × 57 mm and the door leaf as 76 × 78 mm. These values expressly describe the dimensions of the respective components. They should not be treated generally as the depth, width or height of the complete door unit. A 14 mm dimension is specified for installation drill holes.

A special proportional specification applies to an asymmetric double-door version: at the minimum size of 1080 mm, the inactive leaf measures 381 mm. As the overall size increases, this leaf grows proportionally at a 2:1 ratio, where 1 denotes the narrower leaf size. This rule applies to the asymmetric version and should be considered with the intended overall dimensions.

The door is equipped with SPILKA and ASSA fittings and 3-point locking. The handle is one of the selectable details and can be chosen to suit the desired design. For a clear enquiry, identify fittings, handle and locking separately so that the handle choice is not confused with the specified fitting components.

The patio door is CE marked and includes a 5-year warranty. Pine and oak are the specified timber species. Together with the required size, glazing, colour and design, these details form the key points of the configuration. A panel belongs only to the relevant designs; other versions are fully glazed and available with or without glazing bars.

When planning dimensions, keep component dimensions, overall size and leaf proportions clearly separate. Outer-frame, door-leaf and installation-hole dimensions describe individual construction points, not automatically the required structural opening. The stated minimum size and proportional rule for the asymmetric version do not replace a complete site measurement. A clear enquiry therefore lists opening dimensions separately and states whether an asymmetric division is required.

05

Assessing the intended opening correctly

A made-to-measure patio door begins with a clear assessment of the intended structural opening. Do not record only one measurement; assess the opening at several points. Walls, floor build-up and adjoining components can affect the usable situation. Keep recorded opening dimensions separate from individual door-component dimensions so frame information and overall planning are not confused.

Because both leaves open outward, clear movement space outside is a planning point in its own right. Check the swing area against patio furniture, railings, steps, planters, lights and other components or objects. This concerns not just the closed-door position but the entire movement path. A clear passage when closed does not show whether the leaves can move outward freely.

The immediate area inside the opening should also be recorded. Although the leaves do not swing indoors, wall junctions, floor transitions and the intended route through the space can be relevant to planning. Where the door will form a frequently used connection, a simple sketch of the inside and outside helps. Mark the viewing direction so the intended leaf arrangement is not described ambiguously.

For an asymmetric version, show the leaf division clearly in sketches and dimension notes. Use the same viewing direction throughout, for example “viewed from outside” or “viewed from inside”. This makes it possible to relate the appearance, intended proportion and dimensions clearly without confusing the internal and external views.

If a door is already fitted at the intended location, photos can illustrate the context. They do not replace measured dimensions. Also note any surrounding features that affect the outward opening path. This ensures that made-to-measure production is described not only by the opening, but also by the movement space actually available for the outward-opening leaves.

Colour and overall visual composition

The available colour selection lets you coordinate the patio door with the façade, windows and other building elements. State the required colour as clearly as possible in your enquiry and use the exact name from the available selection. This makes allocation easier and is more reliable than broad descriptions such as “light”, “classic” or “dark”.

For the overall visual effect, consider colour, glazing-bar pattern, panel and handle together. A door without glazing bars is divided differently from a composition with several horizontal divisions. A panel shifts the balance between transparent and closed areas. A vertical dividing element in turn changes the layout of the sections. These differences alter how strongly individual lines and closed surfaces stand out in the door view.

Pine and oak are the available timber species for this patio door. Include the timber in your design coordination and state clearly in your enquiry which material is required for the chosen version. Images are useful for guidance on shape and division; for colour, the exact name from the available selection is decisive.

The handle is a small element of the door, but one that is regularly seen and touched. As a handle selection is available, you can choose it to suit the desired overall effect. Check how the specific handle works with the colour, timber species, glazing-bar pattern and panel design, then include the exact handle name in your enquiry.

If you would like to incorporate existing windows, doors or façade elements, compare above all the lines, rhythm of divisions and colour effect. Heritage character need not result from using as many details as possible: depending on the building, a bar-free or subtly divided version can be as appropriate as a composition with several bars and a panel. Choose the suitable named design and coordinate the colour and handle with it.

Related product types at a glance

Not every opening in a project requires the same type of door or window. Depending on the desired operation, form and use, sliding or folding doors, a fixed glazed side panel, panelled doors or fixed-glazed windows can be suitable additions. Related products help you plan different openings with an appropriate product type for each position.

“Sliding doors” and “Siegenia side-sliding doors” move the door leaf sideways and therefore offer a different operation from this outward-opening patio door. “Outward-opening folding doors” consist of folding leaves that open outward. All three product types are available in pine or oak, each also with aluminium cladding, and can be requested made to measure with colour and handle choices.

The “single fixed glazed door side panel” is a fixed, non-opening side panel that can add a glazed area to a doorway. The “outward-opening panelled front door” combines an outward-opening door leaf with an MDF panel, while “panelled internal doors” are available as right- or left-hinged leaves for indoor use. These independent product types each offer their own designs and constructional versions.

For non-opening window areas, “fixed-glazed windows” and “fixed-glazed round windows” are available. Both product types are fixed glazed and can be made with 2- or 3-pane insulated glazing. The round window adds a distinctive geometric accent, while the fixed-glazed window offers various horizontal and vertical glazing-bar designs.

When planning several openings, record the product type actually required for each position separately. The following selection leads to suitable related products and their respective features. Sliding doors, Outward-opening folding doors, Single fixed glazed door side panel, Outward-opening panelled front door, Panelled internal doors, Siegenia side-sliding doors, Fixed-glazed windows, Fixed-glazed round windows.

Prepare your enquiry step by step

Start by clearly naming the position for which you are requesting the patio door. If several doors are planned, give them short, clear names such as “living-area patio door” or “extension patio door”. This makes it possible to assign dimensions, sketches and design preferences reliably to the correct opening without anticipating technical properties.

Next, record the dimensions of the intended structural opening and add a sketch with a clearly stated viewing direction. If an asymmetric version is required, show the leaf division unambiguously in the same view. Also note railings, steps, lights, planters or other conditions that may matter for outward opening. Photos help illustrate the spatial context.

Then select the full name of the required design. State whether the composition should be without glazing bars, with glazing-dividing bars or with a panel. For glazing bars, the named direction and number are important. Do not use a shortened description if it would make the intended design unclear.

Add the required 2- or 3-pane insulated-glazing build and list colour and handle as separate decisions. Use the exact colour and handle names from the available selection. Also state whether the requested version should be in pine or oak. This keeps material, glazing and visible design details clearly distinct from one another.

Finally, check your selection for internal inconsistencies. Viewing direction, leaf division, design name and panel details should match. Keep structural-opening dimensions consistently separate from dimensions of individual components. A concise overview of position, opening dimensions, intended leaf division, design name, glazing, colour, handle and timber species provides a clear basis for your enquiry.
