French Patio Doors
French patio doors add a touch of class with gorgeous aesthetics, with more options in framing materials and glass finish for enhanced privacy and security.
Bi-fold Patio Doors
Bi-fold patio doors feature multiple panels which makes them a good choice when trying to save space or use space efficiently.
Featured Product
Jeld-Wen Low Friction Glider
The Jeld-Wen Low-Friction Glider® includes a unique roller system that allows the panels to move slightly outward, enabling them to glide open with minimal effort. When closed, each panel moves back snugly against the frame for a tight seal.
This innovative door system also features expansive glass panels and minimalist frames for clear, panoramic views. Customizable in two-, three-, or four-panel configurations, the Low-Friction Glider® is designed to meet all your home’s aesthetic and functional needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three main types of patio doors?
The three main types of patio doors are hinged (French), sliding, and bifold.
- Hinged patio doors swing inward or outward from the frame — side-by-side hinged patio doors that open or close toward the middle are called French doors.
- Sliding patio doors operate by the same principles as sliding windows, just on a larger scale. Glass panels glide along upper and lower tracks built into the ceiling and floor, respectively.
- Bifold patio doors operate like a fusion of the above, featuring glass panels that stack up on top of one another like an accordion as they're pulled along a track.
