A wide variety of window dressings for sliding or patio doors are available, tailored to meet specific requirements and tastes; whether it's blocking out sunlight, ensuring privacy, or facilitating easy access to outdoor areas. The Shade Studio, as your premium Luxaflex® dealer, will guide you in finding the ideal solution for your specific needs, offering inspirational ideas along the way.

Patio Door Types

Various systems, styles, and types are available in the range of patio doors, making them an increasingly attractive option for homeowners looking to enhance natural light and create a more expansive feel in their homes.

The latest models of patio doors cater to all home styles with their modern design attributes and customisable options. Whatever your choice of patio doors, our bespoke range of window coverings is designed to blend in harmoniously, ensuring a look that complements your décor perfectly.

This is the value of selecting made-to-measure products crafted to meet your exact specifications.

Differences between French Doors and Patio Doors

The main distinction between French Doors and Sliding Patio Doors lies in the method of operation.

French Doors consist of two doors that swing open on hinges, providing a traditional look, while Sliding Patio Doors slide back and forth along a track, offering a more contemporary approach to accessing your outdoor space.

The Shade Studio is well-equipped to provide window coverings for both types of doors. If your home features French Doors, we encourage you to peruse our ideas page for suitable window treatment options.
