Keep these considerations in mind when selecting a patio door:
Swing space
For hinged patio doors, measure the space your door will be swinging into so it doesn’t bang into furniture or planters.
Visibility
If your want a beautiful, scenic view, consider a door with large, uninterrupted panes of glass.
Style
Consider the décor in the rest of your home when selecting a patio door type. Otherwise you could end up with a mis-matched ultra-modern door in a traditional home.
Cost
If you’re not going to install it yourself, factor in installation costs as well as the price of the door.

Patio Doors FAQs
At BM Windows and Doors, we know choosing the right doors can bring up a lot of questions.
That’s why we’ve put together this helpful FAQ section—so you can get clear, straightforward answers
Patio doors are large glass doors designed to connect your interior living space with your outdoor area, such as a deck, patio, or backyard. At BM Windows & Doors, we offer high-performance sliding patio doors that provide expansive views, easy access, and a seamless transition between your home and the outdoors.
Our patio doors are engineered for durability and ease of use in the Canadian climate. Key benefits include:
Effortless Operation: Our sliding systems feature high-quality rollers that allow even large glass panels to glide open with a single finger.
Heavy-Duty uPVC Frames: Made from 100% lead-free, multi-chambered uPVC that provides superior strength and thermal insulation.
Maximum Natural Light: Large glass panes and slim profiles brighten your home and offer a panoramic view of your property.
Reinforced Security: Equipped with heavy-duty locking mechanisms to keep your home safe and secure.
Yes! Because patio doors have a large surface area of glass, we use advanced technology to ensure they remain energy-efficient. Our doors feature Cardinal LoE glass and argon gas fills to minimize heat transfer. Combined with dual-fin weatherstripping, our doors prevent drafts and keep your home comfortable year-round.
Security is a top priority for large glass openings. Our patio doors are designed with reinforced frames and a multi-point locking system. Additionally, we offer optional security features such as foot locks and anti-lift blocks, which prevent the door from being lifted out of its track from the outside.
Absolutely. We offer several ways to tailor your door to your home:
Configurations: Choose from 2-panel, 3-panel, or 4-panel designs depending on the width of your opening.
Colors & Finishes: Select from various interior and exterior colors to match your home’s aesthetic.
Internal Grilles: Add decorative grilles between the glass panes for a classic look that is easy to clean.
Blinds Between Glass: Some models offer the option for integrated blinds, providing privacy without the need for traditional curtains.
Our uPVC patio doors are virtually maintenance-free. To keep them performing at their best:
Clean the Tracks: Occasionally vacuum the bottom track to remove dirt and debris that could interfere with the rollers.
Wipe the Frames: Use mild soap and water to keep the uPVC looking new.
Lubricate: A quick spray of silicone lubricant on the tracks once a year will ensure a smooth, quiet glide.
Yes, sliding patio doors are perfect for smaller rooms because they don’t require any “swing space.” Unlike French doors that open inward or outward, sliding doors stay on a track, allowing you to place furniture or plants right next to the door without obstruction.
A sliding patio door consists of glass panels that slide horizontally on a track, while a garden door (or French door) typically hinges and swings open like a standard entry door. Sliding doors are often preferred for their space-saving design and larger, unobstructed glass areas.
