Hinged or Sliding? Pros and Cons of Two Types of Denver Patio Doors

"There are two ways patio doors in Denver can open: outward or sideways; in fact, that’s generally how patio doors everywhere usually open. You’re given options between the preferred choice of several interior design experts and a door that eliminates opening space. When you’re stuck with this problem, always refer to the “pros and cons” strategy. The Globe and Mail’s Dee Dee Taylor may have recommended French doors, but are they right for you? Denver French doors are the practical solution given that your home has enough space for swinging open. If the patio doors will most likely hit something every time you open them, a sliding door may be the better choice. One problem with sliding doors is that they limit the entryway space by half. You may have difficulty moving huge objects past a sliding door if needed."
