Tip 1: Since swinging Garden doors need room to open, consider factors such as furniture and wall placement before determining which opening method works best for space. If space is tight, consider using a stationary panel with a single swinging door or sliding doors that fit well in any sized space.

Tip 2: Choose a design that has a wide doorway to provide greater access and a stronger connection to your outdoor living space.

Low-E glass helps lower energy bills all year and protects against UV fading. decorative tempered glass offers privacy and added style, while still letting in natural light. Look for options like internal blinds and grills to control the light and views.
