01

Operation and everyday use

The patio door has one inward-opening tilt-and-turn leaf. Use the turn function to open the leaf fully inwards for access. The tilt function places the door in a second position when you do not need it for passage. This model therefore combines two operating options in a single-leaf construction. When planning, remember that both the turn opening and tilt position are on the inside of the room.

The handle operates the turn and tilt positions and can be selected to suit your chosen specification. State your preferred handle as a separate item in your enquiry, independently of timber species, colour and glazing-bar design. The hardware is by Roto Frank and forms part of the door construction. This clearly separates the functional hardware specification from the visible handle choice.

For everyday access to the patio, use the turn opening. The tilt position is useful when the leaf should not be opened fully. Which position you use depends on your room and daily habits. When operating the door, always move the handle fully into its intended position and keep the leaf’s movement area clear.

Plan the internal area so the door remains easy to reach. Furniture, curtains, plants and other objects should not obstruct either the handle or the leaf’s swing area. Allow for possible future changes to the furnishings, particularly if the door will be used regularly for outdoor access. A room sketch can help you include the required movement area early in your layout.

02

Construction and confirmed component dimensions

The construction consists of a frame and a single door leaf. Without aluminium cladding, the frame measures 78 × 82 mm; with aluminium cladding, it measures 90.6 × 82 mm. The door leaf is likewise 78 × 82 mm without, and 90.6 × 82 mm with aluminium cladding. These figures apply only to the stated components. The complete patio door’s width and height are determined separately to suit your project dimensions.

The installation holes are specified as 14 mm. This is the hole dimension, not an order dimension or the size of the building opening. As the patio door is made to measure, the overall dimensions are set for the individual project. In your enquiry, clearly state whether a figure refers to the existing opening or the required door element. This keeps project dimensions, component sections and hole dimensions distinct.

Material options are pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak and oak with aluminium cladding. The glazing is sealed with silicone, while the hardware comes from Roto Frank. Material finish, glazing seals and hardware each have their own role in the product construction. You can additionally choose colour and handle, keeping visible choices separate from construction details.

The patio door is CE marked and supplied with a 5-year guarantee. Double and triple insulating glass are available. For a complete enquiry, combine your required overall dimensions with your selection of timber, aluminium cladding, glazing, colour, glazing-bar design and handle. Assigning each detail clearly makes the required made-to-measure version easier to record as one complete specification.

Assessing the intended opening correctly

A made-to-measure patio door starts with careful recording of the intended building opening. Measure the opening in several places and note where each value was taken. Wall construction, floor junctions and adjacent components may matter when interpreting the dimensions. Clearly identify your figures as opening dimensions or required element dimensions. If the floor or wall build-up will still change, include that project stage in your description.

Because the door leaf turns inwards, its swing area must be included in room planning. Check the route from the closed position to the required open position. Radiators, furniture, window sills, curtains, plants and other fixed or movable items may all be relevant. The handle should also remain easy to reach. The clearance your project needs depends on the chosen dimensions and the specific room situation.

Consider the tilt position as well as the turn opening. Above and directly in front of the door leaf, planned furnishings should not obstruct the intended operation. Where furnishings change frequently, mark the movement area on a plan or sketch. This helps ensure that both access and the tilt function remain practical when arranging the room.

When recording dimensions, note from which side you view the opening and identify the inside and outside. Also record the planned floor build-up if it is not yet complete. Labelled photographs or a simple sketch can clarify the spatial arrangement. Do not use the frame and door-leaf section dimensions as overall dimensions: identify opening dimensions, required element dimensions and building notes separately in your enquiry.

06

Material, colour and visual composition

The patio door’s appearance results from several coordinated choices. First choose pine or oak and decide whether the timber should have aluminium cladding. Then select the colour, glazing-bar design and handle. The glass construction also affects the overall specification. Naming each point individually makes your preferred combination of material, glazing and visible design easy to understand.

Pine and oak are available both without and with aluminium cladding. This gives four material finishes: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak and oak with aluminium cladding. Choose the material version before coordinating the colour, so your colour instruction can be assigned clearly. If you want the door to match existing windows, doors or the façade, mention these elements as design references in your enquiry.

Colour is one of the patio door’s selectable features. Describe your preferred shade or colour direction as specifically as possible and state the chosen material finish. Clear reference details or useful photographs can help explain your aim when matching existing building elements. Consider colour, timber species, aluminium cladding and glazing-bar design together to create a coherent overall appearance.

The glazing-bar design determines how the glass area of the single leaf is divided. Without glazing bars, the continuous glass effect takes centre stage; horizontal bars, or combined horizontal and vertical bars, create stronger structure. Choose one of the complete design names. The handle is another visible choice and is stated independently of the Roto Frank hardware. A useful selection order is material finish, colour, glazing, glazing-bar design and handle.

07

Which related door or window solution suits?

If the inward-opening tilt-and-turn function does not suit your room, compare other opening types. A single-leaf outward-opening patio door moves the swing area outside. Double-leaf patio doors are another product group for projects requiring two leaves. Check material, glazing, dimensions and design options separately for every model, as specifications differ by product type.

For a different movement direction, consider the side-sliding Patio Life version. Its leaf slides sideways instead of turning inwards like this model. Traditional-style patio doors offer a separate design direction and are available as single- or double-leaf outward-opening products. An outward-opening external door is another category when you require an entrance door rather than a patio door.

Fixed-glazed windows are intended for areas where non-opening glazing is required. The related range includes both a classic fixed-glazed window and a round fixed-glazed window. Both belong to the window category and therefore serve a different purpose from the tilt-and-turn patio door described here. They may be relevant where additional fixed glass areas are planned in the same project.

When comparing options, first decide on the required product category and movement type: inward-opening patio door, outward-opening patio door, side-sliding door, external door or fixed glazing. Then compare leaf number, material selection, glazing and design for each product. The following related products provide useful starting points:

Patio Life lift-and-slide doors, Single-leaf outward-opening patio door, Traditional-style single-leaf outward-opening patio door, Double-leaf outward-opening patio door, Traditional-style double-leaf outward-opening patio door, Outward-opening external door, Fixed-glazed window, Round fixed-glazed window.

Prepare your enquiry step by step

Start your enquiry with the full product name and a brief description of the project. State “single-leaf, inward-opening patio door” and explain where it will be used. Also say whether an existing door is being replaced or whether the opening forms part of a new project. This makes the product type, opening function and basic installation situation clear from the outset.

Then add your dimensions and clearly identify whether they are measurements of the existing building opening or the required overall door dimensions. A labelled sketch can show where values were taken and which side is inside or outside. Keep these project dimensions separate from the frame, door-leaf and installation-hole dimensions. Also mention planned changes to the floor or wall build-up.

Next choose one of the four material finishes: pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak or oak with aluminium cladding. Add the required colour and, where relevant, describe how the door should relate to existing windows, doors or façade elements. The more clearly material and colour requirements are paired, the easier the required design is to discuss further.

In the next step, select the glazing and glazing-bar design. State whether you require double or triple insulating glass, and use the full name of the selected design. Write “without glazing bars” explicitly if the glass area should remain undivided. For a glass-dividing version, include the term “glass-dividing” in the exact description. This records glass construction and visible division as two separate choices.

Complete your specification with your handle preference and any project-related questions. A complete enquiry includes the product name, installation situation, clearly identified dimensions, material finish, colour, double or triple insulating glass, full design name and required handle. Additional photographs or a labelled sketch can support the description of the spatial situation. This structured order provides a clear basis for discussing your made-to-measure patio door.

Is this patio door available made to measure?

Yes. This single-leaf patio door is available made to measure. Send carefully taken dimensions with your enquiry and identify whether they refer to the existing building opening or required element dimensions. Information about floor and wall build-up, together with a labelled sketch, can further clarify the spatial arrangement.

Which materials are available?

You can choose pine, pine with aluminium cladding, oak or oak with aluminium cladding. It is best to decide on the material finish before coordinating the colour and to state both choices separately. This makes clear which timber is selected and whether the door will have aluminium cladding.

Which glazing can I choose?

Double and triple insulating glass are available. Both options have a heat-reflective coating, a CHR warm-edge spacer and argon gas filling. The glazing seals are silicone. State the required glass construction together with material, glazing-bar design, colour and handle in your enquiry.

Can the door be designed with glazing bars?

Yes. You can specify the single door leaf without glazing bars or with one of the available glazing-bar designs. These include horizontal glass-dividing glazing bars, horizontal bars and combinations of horizontal and vertical bars. Use the complete design name in your enquiry, especially where the variant is described as “glass-dividing”.

Can I choose a colour for the patio door?

Yes. Colour is one of the selectable features. State your preferred shade or colour direction together with the material finish. If existing windows, doors or façade elements should serve as references, you can also describe them or show them in useful photographs.

Can I choose the handle?

Yes, a handle choice is available. State your preferred handle as a separate specification item. The patio door’s construction hardware is by Roto Frank, so the handle choice and hardware brand are separate details within your product specification.

Does this patio door also open outwards?

This model has an inward-opening tilt-and-turn leaf. If you need the swing area outside, compare the separately available single-leaf outward-opening patio door. Check its individual information on material, glazing, construction and design.

How long is the patio-door guarantee valid?

This patio door comes with a 5-year guarantee. Keep your order documents and details of the selected specification so the product, dimensions and equipment can be identified clearly later.
