Stepping into Your Garden: Exploring Garden Doors
Garden doors, while sharing similarities with double doors, possess distinct characteristics that cater specifically to backyard access. These doors are designed to swing outwards, seamlessly connecting your indoor living space with your garden or backyard oasis. A defining feature of garden doors is their construction, typically consisting of one main operating door paired with either a fixed or a venting door, complete with a stationary center post. This configuration offers both access and the potential for ventilation.
When considering garden doors, you can explore options based on the material of the door slab, which includes the same choices available for front entry doors: textured fiberglass, smooth fiberglass, or steel. These materials offer varying degrees of durability, insulation, and aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, garden doors are listed under the “Browse by function” category in the doors catalog, highlighting their primary purpose of providing access to the garden.
