When it comes to enhancing your home’s comfort, beauty, and functionality, patio doors are a true game-changer. Whether you’re replacing an older door or designing a new outdoor living space, the right patio door creates a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. From the modern simplicity of sliding doors to the timeless charm of French doors and the contemporary appeal of bi-fold or multi-slide designs, each option offers unique benefits that can transform your home.
Why Choosing the Right Patio Door Matters
Selecting the right patio door is more than just a design choice, it’s about creating a living space that feels bright, open, and connected. The right door enhances your home’s energy efficiency, security, and curb appeal, while improving how you move and live within your space.
Your lifestyle should guide your decision. Need a wide opening for entertaining? Try French or bi-fold doors. Short on space? A sliding patio door offers practicality without compromise. And with Chapman’s expert team handling design, measurement, and installation, you’ll enjoy a seamless experience and lasting results.
Popular Types of Patio Doors
Sliding Patio Doors: Sleek and Space-Saving
Sliding patio doors are ideal for maximizing light and views without taking up floor space. Their large glass panels slide smoothly along a track, offering easy operation. We offer a range of sliding patio door solutions in both vinyl and wood-clad.
One of the most popular options is Provia’s Endure vinyl patio door. It comes with double or triple glass for peak energy efficiency. Tight seals, durable materials, and precision craftsmanship help keep your home comfortable year-round.
French Patio Doors: Classic Elegance
French patio doors bring timeless charm to any home. With two hinged panels that open from the center, they create a grand, inviting entrance. Their symmetrical design suits both traditional and contemporary spaces, and they can be customized with various finishes and glass styles. Choose from fiberglass, wood or steel.
We love Weather Shield’s all-wood hinged patio doors which gives you the flexibility to open up your space in variety of ways. Door configurations available include inswing or outswing, single panel doors, two-wide French doors, or two-wide stationary/active units. Door styles include traditional, eyebrow, and radius top designs. Add matching sidelites and a transom to create an even more dramatic look.
Bi-Fold Patio Doors: Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
Bi-fold patio doors fold neatly to one side, opening your home to the outdoors in seconds. They’re perfect for entertaining or enjoying scenic views, offering a smooth transition between your indoor and outdoor living areas. Loewen’s bi-fold doors consist of multiple panels that open up to 52 feet wide.
Multi-Slide Patio Doors: Modern and Versatile
Multi-slide patio doors take sliding designs further. With multiple panels that stack or disappear into a wall pocket, they can open an entire wall to your patio or deck. This is a great option for new home construction as your architect can build room into the design for the wall pocket.
How do I Choose the Right Patio Door for my Home?
Consider Your Space: Sliding doors suit compact areas. French doors are perfect for opening up to a large patio, while bi-fold patio doors are perfect for really bringing nature in with an expansive wall of glass.
Think About Lifestyle: Love to entertain or enjoy your view? Choose a design that opens wide and connects easily to your outdoor space.
Prioritize Efficiency & Security: Look for ENERGY STAR®-rated options and advanced locking systems.
Match Your Home’s Aesthetic: Think about what material you’d like your patio door to be made of. Customize finishes, decorative glass, and hardware to match your style.
