Each door type has its benefits and things to consider. When considering three-panel sliding doors for your Southern California home or business, here are a few things to keep in mind. Sliding patio doors do not hinge outward like French hinged patio doors.
So although they don’t interfere with furniture or decorations, they don’t provide as wide an opening because two of the three panels are fixed in place. As additional panels are added, the view-able area becomes larger.
Three-panel doors offer a wider view than standard two-panel doors, but they also create a busier view when closed because they have an additional post. When compared to four-panel doors, three-panel patio doors provide a less obstructed view, only two posts, but less opening space as it opens only 1/3 of the door.
Conversely, four-panel doors provide a more obstructed view, with three posts, but a larger opening area (opens 1/2 of the door).
