1. French Doors
French doors are a classic choice for patio
access. They consist of two hinged doors that
swing open, creating a wide, inviting entryway.
Ideal for traditional and rustic homes, French
doors add a touch of elegance. They let in ample
natural light and provide a clear view of your
outdoor space. Their downside is the space
needed for the doors to swing open, which may
not suit smaller areas.

2. Pivot Doors
Pivot doors rotate on a pivot box rather than
traditional side hinges. This modern design
creates a sleek, contemporary look. Pivot doors
can support larger, heavier door panels, making
a bold architectural statement. They're perfect
for those seeking a minimalistic and unique
design. However, their unconventional opening
mechanism might not be suitable for homes with
limited space around the doorway.

3. Dutch Doors
Dutch doors, split horizontally in the middle,
offer versatility. The top half can open
independently, allowing for ventilation while
keeping the bottom half closed for security.
They add a quaint, cottage-like charm to your
home. Dutch doors are ideal for homes with pets
or small children, providing safety without
sacrificing airflow. They may require additional
weatherproofing to ensure they're as efficient as
regular doors.

4. Bi-Folding Doors
Bi-folding doors consist of multiple panels that
fold against each other, neatly tucking away to
one side. They are great for maximizing your view
and seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor
spaces. These doors are perfect for homes with
larger wall spaces, as they require room to fold
and stack. Bi-folding doors are a popular choice
for contemporary homes, offering flexibility and
a modern aesthetic.

5. Single Door with Fixed Sidelights
A single door with fixed sidelights offers
simplicity and elegance. The sidelights are
stationary glass panels on one or both sides of
the door, providing extra light and views. This
option suits smaller spaces where a large door
isn't feasible. While not providing the wide
opening of other options, this design still
allows plenty of natural light and offers a
balanced look.

6. Shoji Sliding Screens
Shoji sliding screens bring a touch of Japanese
elegance. Made of translucent paper on wooden
frames, they slide on tracks like traditional
sliding doors but with a lighter, more aesthetic
appeal. They're perfect for adding an Asian
flair to your home and diffusing natural light
softly. However, shoji screens are more delicate
than glass and may not be ideal for households
with pets or children.

7. Accordion Doors
Accordion doors, similar to bi-folding doors,
fold upon opening but are designed to accordion
into a smaller space. They are ideal for
creating flexible partitions between indoor and
outdoor areas. These doors can cover wide
openings and are a great space-saving solution.
The accordion-style mechanism makes them suitable
for homes with limited side space.

8. Centre Swing Patio Doors
Centre swing patio doors, resembling French
doors, have two doors where one is fixed and the
other swings open. This design is perfect for
spaces where full swing radius doors aren't
practical. They offer the aesthetics of French
doors with the functionality of a single door,
making them a versatile and stylish option.

9. Glass Roll-Up Doors
Glass roll-up doors, inspired by commercial
spaces, add a modern industrial touch to homes.
They operate like garage doors, rolling up to
open, and are great for spaces where saving floor
space is essential. These doors create an
unobstructed view and merge indoor and outdoor
spaces seamlessly. They're ideal for contemporary
homes aiming for a minimalist and unique look.

10. Sliding Barn Doors

• Sliding barn doors offer a rustic charm and are
  an artistic alternative to traditional sliding
  doors. They slide on a rail above the door and
  dont require a floor track, making them easy to
  install and operate.
• Perfect for adding a country touch to your home,
  they come in various designs and materials.
