Pick Your Perfect Patio Door

Whether spending a quiet afternoon with a book or barbequing with friends and family, homeowners find value in an outdoor patio or deck. A small but important piece of the outside aesthetic is the patio door.

The types of Infinity from Marvin fiberglass patio doors include inswing French, outswing French, sliding French, and sliding glass doors. Each has considerations regarding space, security, style, and visibility.

French Patio Doors

French doors are known for their wide door frames that give them a classic and traditional look. French doors have one or more panels that swing in (inswing) or out (outswing). Both inswing and outswing patio doors augment the home’s outdoor space, but choosing the best option depends on how roomy the house is. An inswing French patio door allows homeowners to maximize patio space, but when open take up indoor space. On the other hand, outswing doors are advantageous when indoor space is limited but sacrifice a few inches of room on the patio or deck.

With the swinging function, the doors can create a wide entrance for guests to move easily between indoor and outdoor spaces. While friends and family can move comfortably, the doors have a multipoint lock system for enhanced safety.

A benefit of French doors is ways to customize them, as they come in various colors or stained paints, with many hardware options. Some homeowners like two operable patio doors, while some fix one and leave one operable.

In addition, Infinity from Marvin French doors have an optional swinging screen to keep the outdoors out, and all doors include adaptable hinges to achieve a snug fit as the home evolves throughout the seasons.

Sliding Patio Doors

Sliding patio doors are a popular option, as homeowners can maximize space. Because they stay in place on a track, the doors won’t get in the way of other objects.

Infinity from Marvin sliding doors come in a variety of styles. For those homeowners who like the look of French doors but do not have the room for swinging doors, there are sliding French doors that give the home a modern touch.

Because glass sliding doors have a narrower frame, they allow the homeowners to enjoy expansive, panoramic views and provide plenty of natural light inside the home. Those with large patios and decks often enjoy this style—it opens the space, and with a built-in sliding screen, the doors can stay open when the weather is cooperative.
