Sliding Patio Door in Sturminster Newton
This home in Sturminster Newton had an older patio door at the back of the house that had become hard work to slide and was no longer keeping the weather out properly. The homeowner wanted something cleaner and smoother, with more glass and easier access to the garden.
The project: a new sliding patio door in Sturminster Newton
We replaced the old door with a white uPVC sliding patio door, made to measure for the opening and fitted by our own team. The new door gives the homeowner:
- A warmer room, with far fewer draughts
- A door that glides open and shut with no effort
- More glass, so more daylight and a better view of the garden
- Modern multi-point locking for better security
- A low-maintenance white finish
The room now feels noticeably brighter and more open, and the garden is part of the living space again.
Why choose a sliding patio door?
A sliding door opens within its own frame, so nothing swings into the room or out onto the patio. That makes it a good choice where floor space is tight, and the large glass panels let in more light than most other door styles. If you would rather have doors that open fully, have a look at our patio doors in Sturminster Newton, French doors in Sturminster Newton and bifold doors in Sturminster Newton pages.
Why people replace old patio doors
- The door has become difficult to slide
- Failed glass units, with condensation between the panes
- Draughts around the frame
- Worn rollers or locks
- Outdated security
How we fit a patio door
Kenny surveys the opening first and the door is made to measure. On the day, our own team carefully removes the old frame, fits the new one level and square, seals it inside and out, and checks the sliding and locking before we leave. We protect your home while we work and leave it clean and tidy. Most patio door replacements are completed within a day.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a new patio door cost?
It depends on the size, the glass and the specification. Every quotation is free and comes with a drawing of the door, so you can see exactly what you are getting.
Are sliding patio doors secure?
Yes. Modern patio doors have multi-point locking and toughened safety glass.
Should I choose patio doors or French doors?
It depends on the space and how you use it. Sliding doors give the most glass with no door swing, while French doors open fully for summer. We will talk you through both at the survey.
