If you are thinking about fitting patio doors for security, remember that anyone who has already got into your property will not bother about what damage they do to internal doors and it is better to leave internal doors unlocked in case of having to quickly evacuate the building in case of fire. Single glazed doors may be cheaper but it is much easier to break single glazing than double glazing.

Fitting patio doors can help maintain the room temperatures but think about all that extra window cleaning and that track across the opening that you are going to trip over.

Wickes were doing 8ft double glazed PVCu doors for £349 delivered, but is the opening a standard width? If it isn't you will have to get any doors tailor made.
