01

Operation and everyday use

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

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

When planning, allow for the single leaf moving outwards. The area provided for it should suit the installation conditions and intended use of the entrance. Consider neighbouring building elements and regularly used outdoor spaces so the opening direction works well for the project.

The chosen design also affects the door’s everyday appearance. A large uninterrupted glazed area looks different from a layout with glazing bars or a combination of glass and panel; the single leaf opens outwards in every available design. When using the door, ensure that the leaf sits correctly in the frame after closing and that the lock is fully engaged. If it later becomes unusually difficult to move or lock, have the cause professionally checked.

02

Construction and confirmed component dimensions

The door consists of an outward-opening leaf and its associated outer frame. On the timber version, the outer frame measures 105 × 57 mm. With aluminium cladding, the outer-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 are specified at 14 mm. This construction detail does not replace measuring the intended opening or planning the fixing method 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 the installation with us.

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

The patio door is CE marked and offered with a five-year warranty. It also includes SPILKA hardware and ASSA 3-point locking. Keep these product details with the material, order dimensions and design in your project documents. If you are planning several doors or windows, a clear position number helps assign dimensions and specification choices to the correct item.

05

Assessing the intended opening correctly

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

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

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

Also consider floor build-ups and finished surfaces during project planning. If the final condition will differ from the current site situation, this should be apparent in the information provided. The same applies to cladding or junction details that will be 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, you can have the dimensions and building conditions checked by an appropriate professional. This is particularly useful where floor build-ups, cladding or junctions may still change. Keeping structural-opening dimensions, the planned finished condition and the desired door element separate creates a clear basis for further discussion.

Visual composition, material and colour choice

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

A colour choice is available, allowing coordination with the façade, adjacent windows, roof details, doors and visible interior materials. In an existing building, a restrained match to established colours may be appropriate; in a new design, deliberate contrast can emphasise the entrance or patio access. State your colour preference as precisely as possible and consider it alongside the selected material finish.

The handle can also be selected and forms part of the visible overall composition. Describe the style you prefer for the handle and how it should work with the door colour and surrounding elements. Record the required handle option clearly in the enquiry together with material, colour, glazing and design.

The glass design has a particularly strong influence on visual order. A version without glazing bars creates a calm, continuous glass surface, while horizontal bars give a stronger division. Vertical glass, combined horizontal and vertical bars, and panels add further accents. Compare the precise depiction of the selected design with the lines of adjoining elements rather than considering the layout in isolation.

For a harmonious result, consider your decisions in a set order: material finish, colour, glass specification, design and handle. Not every element needs to make a separate statement. You can deliberately coordinate individual components or choose one clear focal point. Then record the selected combination in full so all design decisions can be assessed 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 glazing layout with your project requirements.

If you are planning a double-leaf solution instead of one leaf, choose an outward-opening patio door with two leaves. A double-leaf heritage-style version is also available for traditionally influenced 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 chosen configuration and intended opening.

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

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

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

Prepare your enquiry in clear steps

Start by identifying the project clearly. Note where the door will be installed and mark the relevant opening in your documents. Where several doors or windows are planned, give each one its own position reference. This allows later questions to be linked to the correct element without mixing details from different areas.

Next, record the professionally checked order dimensions or the measuring details needed to establish them. Add a sketch showing inside and outside, adjoining components and the planned finished condition. If floors, wall cladding or junctions will still change, note this expressly. Do not use frame or leaf component dimensions as a substitute for the dimensions of the complete door element.

Then select the material finish. State in full whether you require 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 required design direction as specifically as possible.

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

Finally, bring every choice 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. You can list outstanding questions separately. A compact, well-structured summary makes it easier for us to identify your requirements and provides a clear basis for discussing your made-to-measure patio door.

Is the patio door available made to measure?

Yes. The patio door is available made to measure. For a clear enquiry, we need the dimensions of the intended opening and details of the installation situation. Check the measurements and building conditions before placing your order.

Which materials can I choose?

Choose from pine, aluminium-clad pine, oak and aluminium-clad oak. The material decision affects the visible appearance and should be considered together with colour, glazing and design.

Can I choose the patio door colour?

Yes, colour selection is one of the available purchase choices. Match the preferred colour to the material finish, façade, adjoining elements and interior. Include the exact colour information in your enquiry.

Is there a choice of handles?

Yes, the handle can also be selected to suit the door. Consider both the desired look and everyday operation. Tell us your preferred handle together with the material, colour, glazing and design so the configuration can be coordinated as a whole.

Is a version with a solid infill possible?

Yes. Depending on the design, a combination of glazing and panel or solid infill is possible. Fully glazed designs without bars and different layouts with horizontal and vertical bars are also available. State the complete name of your chosen design in the enquiry.

Does the door have multipoint locking?

Yes. The patio door has ASSA 3-point locking and also includes SPILKA hardware. The locking secures the door at three points. Material, handle, colour, glazing and design can be coordinated within the available options.

What colour are the glazing seals?

The glazing seals are made from black rubber. When coordinating the appearance, consider this fixed detail colour together with the selected timber species, any aluminium cladding, door colour, glazing-bar pattern and possible panel.

How long is the warranty valid?

The warranty is valid for five years. Keep the documents supplied for your order and selected version safely. They make it possible to identify clearly the door details that apply to the specific order.
