01

Opening function and everyday use

This patio door has one outward-opening leaf. It suits openings where sufficient clear space can be allowed in front of the door for its movement. The single-leaf construction can be combined with different glass, glazing-bar and panel designs, allowing you to select an appearance that complements the architecture.

In everyday use, the opening direction affects how you approach the door, use the handle and pass through it. Consider your usual routes between indoors and the patio: if trays, garden equipment or larger items regularly pass through, keep the area in front of the outward-swinging leaf clear. Also allow for furniture, planters, steps and other items within the opening zone.

The hardware includes SPILKA and ASSA fittings with 3-point locking. A choice of handles is available for this visible, regularly used feature. Consider both the look you want and practical operation, and include your handle preference with the timber type, colour and design pattern in your enquiry.

Move the leaf in a controlled manner when opening and closing, and keep its travel path clear. Do not apply unnecessary pressure to the handle, leaf or locking system. During routine care, keep accessible surfaces, seals and fitting areas free of dirt. Use cleaning and care products suitable for the relevant timber finish, glass and handle.

The design patterns alter the division of the door leaf, not its outward-opening function. Keep this distinction in mind when comparing versions.

02

Construction, fittings and technical details

The door is available in pine or oak and is made to measure for the intended structural opening. The outer frame has a profile size of 105 × 57 mm, while the door leaf profile measures 76 × 78 mm. These dimensions apply to the stated components and must not be confused with the overall dimensions of the complete door element.

Installation holes are specified with a diameter of 14 mm. The fittings include SPILKA and ASSA hardware with 3-point locking. The handle can be coordinated with the overall appearance from the available handle selection. Keep installation information, profile dimensions and structural-opening dimensions separate in your project records so that every value remains clearly assigned.

The door is available with 2- or 3-pane insulating glass. The glazing has a heat-reflective coating, a CHR-marked warm-edge spacer and argon filling. Black rubber seals secure the glass in the door leaf. Depending on the design, glazing is divided by glazing bars or combined with a panel.

The patio door is CE marked and offered with a 5-year commercial warranty. For clear project planning, record technical information with its component name: 105 × 57 mm for the outer-frame profile, 76 × 78 mm for the door-leaf profile and 14 mm for installation holes. Overall dimensions result from the made-to-measure version for your project.

Using this technical basis, assemble the visible and project-specific features. Select pine or oak, a colour, a handle and one of the available design patterns. Then add the structural-opening dimensions and details of the installation situation. This keeps fixed product features, your choices and building information clearly separate.

05

Assessing the intended opening correctly

As this patio door is made to measure, project planning starts with careful assessment of the intended structural opening. Take relevant opening dimensions at several points and identify every measurement clearly. Distinguish between the existing opening, possible connection areas and the desired overall dimensions of the door element. If you are unsure about a measurement point, note this rather than estimating a value.

The surrounding wall also needs assessment. Record the position of floor junctions, threshold areas, adjoining walls and visible façade elements. Photographs from inside and outside, together with a simple sketch, can supplement written measurements. They do not replace precise dimensions, but show how the opening relates to the room and façade.

The outward movement of the door leaf is particularly important for this product. Check the available opening area in front of the door. Patio furniture, planters, steps, railings, wall projections and other fixed or movable objects may affect use. Include typical routes between the room and patio so that the leaf can be opened and closed in a controlled manner during everyday use.

Document the installation situation with clearly labelled internal and external views. As left and right can be understood differently depending on the viewpoint, a sketch should always show the viewing direction. Also draw the area into which the leaf swings outwards and mark nearby walls, steps or other possible obstacles.

Where existing elements are to be replaced or echoed in the design, document their visible lines and proportions separately from opening dimensions. Heritage character is created not by the product name alone, but by the interaction of door divisions, glazing bars, colour, timber and architectural setting. These observations help you select the suitable named design pattern.

06

Timber, colour and visual composition

Pine and oak are available for this patio door. Decide which timber best suits your project by considering it with the chosen colour, design pattern and adjacent elements. Light conditions, the proportion of glazing and the glazing-bar layout also influence how the finished door element appears indoors and on the façade.

Your colour selection can coordinate the door with the façade, interior or adjacent windows and doors. In your enquiry, use a clear colour name or another precise reference where possible. General wishes such as “light”, “traditional” or “dark green” can be interpreted differently. A precise specification makes coordination easier and helps you view timber, colour, glazing bars and handle as one composition.

Next, consider the composition of the door leaf. A pattern without glazing bars emphasises the continuous glass area, whereas horizontal glazing-dividing bars create stronger lines. Designs with a panel combine glazed and closed sections. Use the illustration of your chosen pattern to compare its field division and proportions with the structural opening and adjacent elements.

For a building with clearly divided window axes, it can be useful to compare the door’s lines with those of nearby elements. On a calmer façade, a less divided design may be a personal starting point. These are design considerations, not technical rules. What matters is the relationship you want between the door, façade and interior.

Include the handle in the visual coordination too. It matters not only for daily operation but also as a visible detail of the door leaf. Share your colour preference and handle preference together with the timber type and full design-pattern name. This provides a clear description of the composition you want for your made-to-measure patio door.

Related door and window types

Depending on the opening and intended use, other door and window types may also be relevant to your project. First compare the function you need: should one leaf open outwards, is a wider entrance required, should a leaf slide sideways, or is fixed glazing suitable? You can then consider the material, glazing and design of each product type.

For a wider patio entrance, a double outward-opening version may be suitable. An outward-opening external door and a front door with panel are also available for different entrance situations. These door types differ in construction and design from the single patio door presented here, so each should be planned using its own product information.

Where the type of movement is central, sliding or folding doors may also be relevant. With a sliding door, a leaf moves sideways. The folding door uses outward-opening folding leaves and is described in available patterns with three or five leaves. Compare these functions with the available space, routes and intended use of the transition.

For additional or independent fixed glass areas, consider a non-opening single door sidelight or fixed-glazed windows. The range includes both rectangular and round fixed-glazed windows. Such elements suit projects where light and façade division are planned without another opening function. Their dimensions, materials and design patterns are determined product by product.

When planning several elements, create a separate entry for every structural opening with the product type, dimensions, timber, colour and design. You can also record shared colour preferences or recurring glazing-bar lines as an overall design goal.

Prepare your enquiry step by step

A well-prepared enquiry combines building information with clear choices. Start with an unambiguous project name and state which room or façade section the patio door is intended for. Add the measured opening dimensions and mark the viewing direction on your sketch. This keeps building data and product requirements clearly separate.

Next, choose one of the available design patterns and use its complete name. This preserves information about glazing bars, glazing and panel. If you are deciding between several patterns, list them as first and second preferences and briefly note the effect that matters to you, such as a calm glass area, horizontal division or a combination of glass and panel.

Then state the timber you want: pine or oak. Add as clear a colour reference as possible and your handle preference. If coordination with existing windows, doors or façade elements matters to you, include photographs and brief explanations. Describe only the features that are genuinely to be replicated or considered.

Then check whether the full pattern name already includes every desired detail about glazing bars, glazing and any panel. Use exactly that name in the enquiry, separate from dimensions, timber, colour and handle choice. This makes it clear which details belong to the design pattern and which are additional decisions for your made-to-measure door.

Finally, check your documents for inconsistencies. Do the pattern name and description match? Is the timber choice clear? Is there an unambiguous colour reference and handle preference? Are dimensions, sketches and photographs clearly labelled? Where several products are involved, each document should be assigned to the correct structural opening. Then send the combined details so that we can clarify the made-to-measure version and any remaining choices with you.

Is the patio door made to measure?

Yes. The patio door is made to measure. For a reliable enquiry, we need the dimensions of the intended opening and details of the installation situation. Photographs and a simple sketch can help show the building context clearly.

How do I share my preferred colour?

A colour selection is available. Share a clear colour name or another precise reference where possible. Consider how it will work with the façade, interior, adjacent windows and other visible building elements.

Can I choose a handle?

Yes, a handle selection is one of the available purchase choices. In your enquiry, describe the look and handling you prefer. The handle selection is then coordinated with the planned door version.

Does every design include a panel?

No. Some design patterns are fully glazed and differ in the number of their glazing-dividing bars. Others combine glazing with a panel. The full pattern name shows which elements belong to that design, so include it unchanged where possible in your enquiry.

Which glazing is specified for the patio door?

Depending on the version, the door has 2- or 3-pane insulating glass. The glazing has a heat-reflective coating, a CHR-marked warm-edge spacer and argon filling. Black rubber is used for the glass seals.

What routine care is sensible?

Clean the timber, glass and handle with products suitable for each surface. During routine care, check accessible seals and fittings for dirt or noticeable changes. Follow the care instructions for your specific version.

How do I use the design-pattern names when choosing?

The names show the glazing-bar arrangement, glazing or panel that identifies a pattern. They describe the design but do not replace a scaled drawing. For your enquiry, you can state the complete name of the preferred pattern.

Which related product types can I compare for other openings?

For other structural openings, a double patio door, external door, sliding or folding doors, a fixed-glazed door sidelight, a front door with panel, and rectangular or round fixed-glazed windows may be of interest. Plan every element using its own product information and assign dimensions, material and colour wishes clearly to the relevant opening.
