The transition from your home to you garden is an important consideration with modern day living. Where you desire maximum natural light in your property a sliding patio door can be an ideal way to merge your outdoor space with your home and bring more light in to create a contemporary feel. Sliding patio doors are particularly suited to rooms with restricted size or space as the doors open horizontally. They also offer optimum security and safety for families with young children. The doors come with integrated hook locks, internal and external locking systems, an aluminium inter-lock section and anti-lift device and due to their weight and horizontal movement they are difficult for young children to open and gain access to the outdoors, when you don't want them to.

Similar to a greenhouse or a conservatory orangeries became popular in the 1800s with prestige home owners in the UK who sought a room to protect fruit trees and plants imported from around the world. Orangeries provided a luxurious extension to a home and offered warmth and protection from the elements. The orangery originated from the renaissance gardens of Italy, when glass-making technology enabled larger pieces of clear glass to be produced. An orangery was a symbol of status and wealth and even today, orangeries are seen as a prestige addition to a property.
