Durations ‘Penthouse’ Patio Doors
These superb ‘Penthouse’ large panel patio doors really give great views - offering the maximum possible glass area in a slim and strong aluminium frame. Another nice feature of these doors is that like our standard patio door ALL PANELS CAN SLIDE - there are no fixed panels. Despite their weight the panels slide easily using their high-spec hardware.

Maximum Opening and Flexibility
The sliding panels in our unique ‘Penthouse’ patio doors run on either 2 or 3 tracks. If you choose a 3 panel patio door in a 3 track frame then each panel runs on its own track. Because each panel has its own track all panels can stack at one end. You can see from the diagrams below that with 3 panels the opening is about two-thirds of the total opening, rather than half of the total opening with a two panel door. ‘Penthouse’ patio doors are available in 2, 3, 4 & 6 panels. With our three track system, if you require a cill - you have to use the 225mm cill.
