Patio Doors Glasgow, Get A Quote

Glasgow Window Company fits patio doors across Glasgow and the surrounding areas, from the Southside through to the west end and beyond. If you want to open up your living room or kitchen to the garden, a new set of patio doors can make a real difference to how your home feels day to day.

We supply and fit sliding patio doors, French doors, and bi-fold doors. All three styles are available in uPVC or aluminium, in a range of colours and finishes, and every installation comes backed by a full 10-year guarantee.

What types of patio doors do you offer?

Sliding patio doors are the most popular choice for Glasgow homes where space inside is tight. There is no swing room needed because the panels glide along a track. You still get large glass panels and a clear view out to the garden. We can fit two, three, or four panel configurations depending on the size of your opening.

French doors open outward as a pair and give you a wide, unobstructed gap. They suit both traditional tenement flats and newer build properties well. A low threshold option is available if step-free access matters to you. Bi-fold doors are the third option. They fold back on themselves to open up almost the full width of the wall, which works brilliantly for larger openings. We fit bi-fold doors from two panels right up to seven, covering spans of up to six metres.

What materials are the doors made from?

uPVC frames are the more affordable option and perform very well in Glasgow's climate. They do not rust, they do not need painting, and a wipe down every now and then keeps them looking fine. uPVC is available in white, anthracite grey, black, and a range of woodgrain foil finishes.

Aluminium frames suit homes where you want slimmer sightlines and a more contemporary look. Because aluminium is stronger than uPVC, the profiles can be thinner, which means more glass and more light coming in. Aluminium is powder coated, so the colour is long-lasting and resists fading. Both materials carry the same 10-year guarantee.

How energy efficient are your patio doors?

All the patio doors we install come with A-rated or better double glazed sealed units as standard. Each unit uses argon gas between the panes and warm edge spacer bars around the perimeter. These two features reduce heat loss at the edges of the glass, which is where a lot of energy escapes in older doors.

The frames themselves are thermally broken, meaning there is an insulating barrier inside the profile to stop cold conducting through from outside. In Glasgow winters, that genuinely helps keep your heating bills in check.

How secure are patio doors?

Security is built in rather than added on as an extra. Every patio door we fit includes the following as standard:

• Multi-point locking along the full height of the door, not just a single central catch
• Anti-lift devices on sliding doors to stop the panel being lifted out of the track
• Toughened safety glass throughout, which is far harder to break than standard float glass
• Shootbolt locks at the top and bottom of French door panels for added rigidity
• Shoot bolt espagnolette systems on bi-fold doors, locking each panel securely into the frame
• Internally glazed units on all styles, so the beads that hold the glass in place cannot be accessed from outside

How long does fitting take?

Most patio door installations in Glasgow are completed in a single day. A straight swap from an existing door to a new sliding or French door is usually done in four to six hours. Bi-fold installations over larger spans can take a full day, occasionally spilling into a second morning if the opening needs structural work or the frame requires adjusting on site.

Your fitter will leave the area clean and tidy before leaving. Any waste from the old door is taken away as part of the job. You do not need to arrange anything separately.
