A sliding patio door will add another dimension to your property as you will be able to frequently eliminate the barrier between home and garden.
Effortlessly easy to operate open, it will also increase spaciousness indoors as unlike a traditional door, a sliding patio door opens sideways rather than outwards or inwards, so it will occupy much less space. Designed to be an elegant addition to any home, why not add patio doors to your new conservatory or orangery to create a truly modern living space.
Running from side-to-side also eliminates the possibility of a sliding patio door from being blown open and suffering potential damage in the process. Generally, patio doors consist of two panels, but you can have extra panels if you have the space for them, and these panels won’t move when the locking system is operated.
It’s only once you become the proud owner of some patio doors that you realise how beneficial they are and realise how wise your investment into them has been. Supplied with thermally efficient double glazing, our sliding patio doors will be tailored.
PATIO DOORS CREATE A BOLD, BEAUTIFUL OPENING
Patio door installations are generally commissioned at houses where there is a necessity for more spaciousness. Because a patio door opens horizontally rather than inwards or outwards, they open out properties and there are no restrictions in terms of what you can place in front of them on both their internal and external sides. They move so smoothly and come with aluminium inter-lockers for the purpose of security and keeping the weather out when closed.
Aluminium can be fashioned into the slenderest sightlines...
The toughness of aluminium is one of its biggest strengths, so to speak, but this toughness doesn’t us being able to create amazingly trim aluminium frames. Aluminium is definitely the right choice if you want maximum glazed areas in your patio doors as glass is the dominant feature in any aluminium patio door.
The intricate contour on the external side of the frame is something you would only normally see on a timber frame. Aluminium also comes with a powder-coated finish, hence why aluminium colours are so impressive.
The quality of our powder-coated finishes is what makes our aluminium patio doors stand out…
Each time that we undergo the 11-stage powder-coating process when finishing our aluminium patio doors, it causes strong paint adhesions to be induced and makes the finish so bold.
For customers that want an aluminium woodgrain, we carry out a process called sublimation, which enables us to create Walnut, Rosewood and Oak woodgrains that are as convincing as a real woodgrain.
For all-round performance, UPVC takes some beating...
UPVC offers everything you could want in a building material and that’s why it’s so regularly chosen for crafting home improvement products like patio doors.
It’s easy to clean, is inexpensive in comparison to most other materials and has shown that it has lasting qualities. The thermal efficiency offered by UPVC is also nothing short of impressive.
Is a textured woodgrain or smooth surface finish most to your taste?
Colours galore! That’s the best way to describe just how many UPVC colours you can choose from. They’re all developed using our special paint application process. Our standard UPVC colour range includes White, Whitegrain, Cream and Chartwell Green, plus you have modern classics like Black, Irish Oak and Grey on the table.
The handles are wonderfully elegant…
Every patio door needs to be properly furnished and this will include selecting a handle that’s befitting of the design.
Ask to be shown the full suite of handles that we have in our hardware range before you decide on anything.

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR PATIO DOORS
Perfectly connect your home and garden with our beautiful patio doors. To help you decide if this style of glass door is right for you we’ve answered some of our most frequently asked questions below. If you have any other questions or would like a free quote for your new patio doors, speak to a member of our team or visit our showroom.
What are patio doors?
Versatility is one of a patio door’s biggest gifts to homes and their owners.
Two-panel versions of patio doors are how most people recognise them, but they can encompass further panels, three or four of them if you have a good-sized aperture for them to slot into and come as either sliding or fixed. A secure locking mechanism is built into the product to amplify security, so you don’t feel as though you’re at risk of suffering intrusion.
Kept in an open position, patio doors cause a blurring of the indoors and outdoors, merging the two locations together so seamlessly. A trouble-free opening is assured every time, and they won’t consume essential space.
A representative from TWC will arrive at your property to get the measure of it and check its suitability for patio doors. From their findings, they can configure a design in a prime spot.
How energy-efficient are patio doors?
Patio doors will supplement the energy efficiency offered elsewhere around your house.
Nestled in the panelled sections is energy efficient glass and you’ve also got insulating frames to stem heat loss and promote thermal comfort. Ordinary glass, it’s not! For a sufficient thermal barrier, only specialist glazing will suffice for preventing the escape of heat in the cold winter months and staving off extreme heat gain in summer.
Additionally, the patio doors rolled off our production line have fuel-efficient frames fabricated from materials such as UPVC and aluminium, both exceptional insulators.
The patio doors are thoroughly sealed to alleviate draughts and air leakages, maximising warmth in the home. Improved temperature regulation and shrunken energy costs are grounds to accessorise a space with them, not forgetting about the amplified light and views you can embrace.
Where can I use patio doors?
Connect to balconies or from home or conservatory to the garden.
Patio doors can cover various applications and whether fixed or sliding, will glamorously expose an indoor space to the great outdoors.
Operating so smoothly and designed for space reduction, patio doors can be homed in conservatories to help heighten the extended spaces, only requiring a simple, effortless slide. None of the panels swing out or in, a useful mechanism if a conservatory is compact in size and every inch of space it has counts.
The offering of multiple or minimal panels and varying configurations considerably assists personalisation and prompts you to display some originality. Maximisation of the patio door opening initiates an appetising switch from inside of the house to a balcony so that views from it can be fully immersed or through to the garden. Wherever the location of the doors, sit tight for a regular rush of light to permeate your indoor surroundings.
What security features do patio doors have to keep my home safe?
Security is a concern we share with all customers and we’re as good as our word by including multiple secure components.
Removal of the glass from outside of a patio door is unachievable and the glass itself is specialised, so in the event of it shattering, it does so into small pieces, posing less of a hazard.
The lock integrated into the product is extremely robust and as it engages at several points throughout the door frame, intruders have little hope of achieving a forced entry, whatever tactics they attempt. Its strength also originates from the materials used in its construction, in this case UPVC or aluminium, two mighty rugged substances.
Working in tandem, these components galvanise the patio doors into protecting your property in Wiltshire or Oxfordshire at all costs so that security doesn’t consume your thoughts.
How can I customise my new patio doors?
Dress the UPVC or aluminium design with the hippest hardware and an engaging colour.
Half of the fun of buying patio doors from TWC is that they’ll let you customise them however much you want – personalised patio doors will be a personal triumph.
Which of UPVC and aluminium match up to your ideals in maintenance, design, and resilience? UPVC passes the versatility test and insulates impressively, while aluminium is super-sleek and super-contemporary.
Colour offers the broadest of your customisation options, emphasised by the inclusion of a multitude of muted and extravagant hues and woodgrain finishes. Dual-coloured frames are available to contrast the internal and external sides of the framework if that’s what it needs to harmonise their look with inner and outer decor.
A handle is obviously required to perform the sliding motion of the door and there are many traditional and modern styled handles that can adorn it. Panel numbers are specifiable too, with the option of going beyond the usual two-panel design if you have a potentially wide opening crying out for a patio door to occupy it.
