What Feature Door Is Best For Your Space?
In a climate like ours, when the sun only occasionally shows its face, it needs embracing and the addition of a feature door at home will doubtless encourage you to enjoy a more outdoor-led lifestyle through each spring and summer.
Feature door is the umbrella term we use to refer to three specific door products sold at 5 Star – bi-folding doors, patio doors, and French doors.
It’s a fitting description as each of these door styles are showpiece attractions with their superior designs and enthralling openings.
Some context to what they individually offer can shed light on which you should be buying if you want a door solution to blur the lines between house and garden:
Bi-Folding Doors
The bi-folding door is the darling of the replacement door world at present and it doesn’t take much scrutiny of it to uncover why.
Capable of spanning a considerable distance of up to 7 panels, it slides and folds away with the utmost grace, leaving behind a whopping aperture for light to pervade and you to journey across.
The unbroken view initiated by the opening is also perfect for looking into the distance at any rambling hills or lush landscapes.
Patio Doors
A smooth sliding functionality is a characteristic of patio doors too with moving panels that work in a straight line as pushed from one side to the other.
It therefore requires no sacrificing of floor space, very helpful if your house is small, allowing you to position furniture close by without it posing an obstruction.
Although it doesn’t let you open a full wall, its panels can be extra-large to maximise the glazed areas and thereupon, provide generously slim sightlines.
French Doors
Last, but not least, you’ve got the timelessly elegant French door, beloved since the 17th century and would you believe, inspired by Italian design.
Split into two halves, you can harness the full double opening or just use a single door to transition from sitting in front of the TV to sinking a cold drink outside on the sun lounger.
Specify an inward or outward opening, symbolic of a French door’s flexibility, and get ready to experience how it keeps luring you away from the indoors.
Test out all three feature doors in a 5 Star showroom to gain official confirmation of which will best fit the bill.
