Penthouse Patio Doors

Large Patio Doors

These superb ‘Penthouse’ patio doors have been designed to offer unobstructed views of the outside world, giving you the maximum possible glass area. The strong polyamide thermally broken profiles, deliver thermal efficiency and optimum weather performance. These doors are for example, suitable for use by the coast or the upper floors of an appartment building. Three panels with a triple track, can achieve approximately a two-thirds opening and maximum flexibility.

These door are capable of large widths and heights and despite their weight the large panels slide easily and with minimum effort. The doors have a specially designed threshold, which allows you to bring your inside floor level flush with the threshold. Suitable for both commercial and domestic applications, these doors are ideal for filling a room with light and making the most of a beautiful view.
