STEP INTO SUMMER WITH SLIDING FOLDING PATIO DOORS
17/02/2010
JELD-WEN has reported an increase in demand for its sliding folding patio doors – which are now available for both internal and external use.
The Canberra Duo sliding folding patio door is one of the most stunning timber patio doors currently available on the market. The recent addition of an Oak finish has enhanced its popularity, as it complements the trend towards this beautiful and durable timber for furnishings, floor coverings and other finishes.
Also in high demand within JELD-WEN’s collection is the Wellington sliding folding patio door, which is available in either unfinished hardwood or softwood fully finished white. Both of these attractive patio doors come with Low E Argon-filled glazed units, which means they offer enhanced thermal performance. The Canberra and Wellington patio doors also benefit from top hung hardware allowing an effortless smooth-sliding operation and the locking bolts enable the doors to be used as a single entrance door leaf, for even greater flexibility.
Vicky Severn, Product Manager at JELD-WEN, explains: “At this time of year, many homeowners are planning to upgrade their homes in time for Summer and patio doors are a great choice, as they help to bring more light inside the home. The Canberra and Wellington designs are perfect as they not only open up the front or back of a property, they mean the patio area or garden can become an extension of the home.”
The popularity of sliding folding doors has spread indoors too with JELD-WEN recently releasing ‘Room Fold’ – an innovative sliding folding patio-style door that can be used between rooms. This design offers the ultimate in flexibility, as buyers can choose from a choice of ten internal doors from the JELD-WEN range to create their own folding door system. Available in five popular widths with various door configurations.
The Room Fold door can be fully opened to give 100 per cent access to a room and is ideally suited to kitchen or living room extensions, leading into a dining room. The unique configuration of the closing system means the doors simply slide away very conveniently, whilst allowing homeowners to make maximum use of the space available.
“Buyers have been inspired by the opportunity to open up their living space, thanks to products like the Canberra and Wellington,” explains Vicky Severn. “Now they can take advantage of this flexibility indoors too with RoomFold. The fact that they can choose their preferred style of door from across our range means the possibilities are endless for enhancing both traditional or contemporary-style homes.”
JELD-WEN’s internal and external sliding folding doors are available with Chain of Custody certification, which means they originate from well managed forests with strict reforestation programmes.
