Telescoping Patio Doors in, Sliding Doors out
Sliding glass patio doors are so 20th Century. Why settle for the mundane when you can have a spectacular wall of movable glass? Telescoping patio doors are an impressive way to let more light and air in while maintaining easy accessibility to the backyard, patio, deck, etc. (Handy, too, when you need to move a baby grand piano in and out of the house…)
The doors pictured here are made by Weather Shield, a company that specializes in wood windows and doors. This door features four sliding center panels flanked by a fixed panel on each end. The panels are connected with coupling flanges that are hidden from view. When you open the doors, they “stack” to the side, so there’s no outward swing to take up space.
When you want to let the fresh air and breezes in, slide open the doors all the way (gives you a much wider exit than a typical sliding glass door), and when you just want a hint of a breeze, just open one panel a few inches.
