Outside shot of doors

When it comes to garden/ home improvement it is important that you think of all aspects of the space not only should you focus your attention on cost but also what looks and feels right within the area.

Always spend a little time selecting your perfect patio doors as it can make a huge difference to the whole new look.

Swing and Slide doors are known for their amazing features; allowing you to open panels individually across and axis as well as letting in a vast amount of natural light within the home.
We all know the style of the door is always a big factor as we want to ensure it is not taking up a huge amount of space with the structure of the home but also providing enough functionalities to fulfil its daily purpose. With Swing and Slide we are proud that many customers use our doors all year round, due to the ability to individually control each panel with ease.

Before thinking about the colour, the design is always key. That is why at Swing and Slide we have created our doors with no hardware in-between simply the handle on the first panel for locking etc. This is great as it makes the door itself stronger and definitely adds a sleek finish to the final design.

So how do we pick the perfect colour?

1. Surrounding Environment Colours
Take some time to really have a look at your outside & inside space. Are there any colours that stand out as dominant ones in the area? You might have a lot of greenery in the direct vicinity, or you might have lots of beige decking or grey patio concrete. You have two choices when it comes to picking a colour. You can either try to blend in your doors so that they are in harmony with the rest of the colouring, or you can go with a contradictory pop of colour that really makes them stand out.

2. Check the Natural Light
Which direction is your home facing in? Does the back garden have the sun on it in the morning or in the evening? If you are you going to be spending more time in the evening in your backyard, but the sun is on the other side of the house, then you might want to consider a brighter, more vibrant colour for your patio doors in order to balance out the tone and vibe of the shaded garden space.

These are the two main points we suggest when purchasing Swing and Slide doors, with our professional expertise and experience we will be able to assist you through the process.
