At Reddish Joinery, we offer three styles of glazed back doors to flood your home with gorgeous natural light. They’re all perfect choices for homes in Cheshire and beyond, they all offer a slightly different look but are all certain to enhance the appearance of your home.
The traditional dual-door design has remained popular thanks to its elegant yet effortless opening. French doors can be manufactured using either timber or uPVC, both are great for keeping your home warm and can be customised to your taste.
A bi-folding door is the perfect option when you’re looking to create the illusion of more space. Offering ultra-slim sightlines to maximise the amount of light flowing into your home. Thanks to its concertina-style you’re able to fully open the doors to enjoy the fresh air and keep your home cooler in the summer.
A sliding patio door can be installed in almost any property as we’re able to design it to perfectly fit the space needed using 2, 3 or 4 glass panels. Sliding patio doors allow you to seamlessly blend your exterior with your interior. Effortlessly gliding open during the warm summer months and keeping the cold at bay during the winter.
Absolutely! Every home improvement product we install is made to measure and our doors are no different. At Reddish, our doors are available in countless styles, and you’ll get to decide on the colour, hardware, and even the glazing.
For our bi-folding doors, you’ll even be able to customise the configuration of your panels and our team will be there to advise you on the best profile for your space.
