The UberSlide model from Kloeber offers minimal sightlines and unadulterated views towards the garden, while taking up little floor space in this timber clad extension
With design at the forefront of our dream home’s layout, we tend to envision a sunbathed, modern dwelling with calming views.
For this reason, glazed doors have become increasingly popular – they provide a seamless connection between house and garden, while allowing plenty of daylight to flood into rooms. However, looking at the practical considerations, not every type of door will suit your project, location and lifestyle needs.
Before you can select the best glazed entryways, you need to think about how you’ll be using your space – both indoors and out – and whether the local climate will have an impact on this. “Weather conditions can be a real factor in determining your choice,” says Matt Higgs from Kloeber.
“If you’re in a very exposed area then you should go for a low maintenance material with good air permeability ratings. Consider the thickness of the frame, too, and how this will affect the view when doors are closed.”
