A patio is one of the most quintessential features of any Australian home. Patios provide the perfect area for entertainment all year round and can be the ideal space for summer BBQs by the pool or winter cookouts with a new outdoor pizza oven. One way to make your patio even more inviting is by installing sliding doors that open all the way. This allows you to seamlessly incorporate your indoor space with the patio, giving you extra room and offering different areas for socialising and for the kids to play. In this article, Simply Doors and Windows discusses the benefits of upgrading your patio by installing sliding doors, while exploring the difference between a range of styles including timber bi-fold doors and aluminium sliding doors. 

Optimising Space

The main reason to install sliding or folding doors to your patio, is to increase the conception of space. Once these doors are open, the patio and the room leading outside become a singular space. This gives you a heap more options when entertaining, while also allowing you to entertain more people at one time. Timber bi-fold doors are a stylish, modern option. They look great with a variety of other materials such as brick and other timber, while also being relatively easy to take care of. 

Increasing Airflow and Natural Light 

Another great reason to install sliding or folding doors is to increase the natural light and airflow levels in your home. The patio is generally a large space that provides ample light and airflow. Aluminium sliding doors or aluminium bi-fold doors can seamlessly improve the amount of natural light and airflow that gets into your home. Furthermore, the patio space often leads to a living room or family room, so increasing light and airflow to these spaces is highly beneficial for the aesthetics of your home.
