Swinging Door
A swinging patio door, also known as a hinged patio door, is a type of door commonly used to access outdoor living spaces such as a patio or a backyard. Unlike sliding patio doors, which glide horizontally, swinging patio doors operate by swinging open and closed on hinges similar to traditional doors.
These doors typically come in two main configurations:
Inward Swinging Doors: These swing inward into the interior of the building or home. They are often used when space outside is limited or when homeowners want to maximize the usable space on their patio.
Outward Swinging Doors: These swing outward, typically onto the patio or outdoor space. They are commonly chosen for their aesthetic appeal and can provide a larger opening to the outdoors without taking up interior space.
Swinging patio doors come in various designs, materials, and styles to suit different architectural preferences and functional needs. They can feature single or multiple panels and may include glass panels for enhanced natural light and views. Additionally, they offer options for energy efficiency, security features, and customization to match the overall design scheme of the property.
