Sliding Patio Door Handle for Your Home

desain interior rumah minimalis type 70 – As so many homeowners have sliding patio doors that lead to their outdoor space, we thought it fitting to dedicate a whole section to sliding patio door handles.

Mostly, your decision on choosing a handle for your sliding patio door will be dictated by your current doorframe. For example, is it a wooden, aluminum or fibreglass frame?

More importantly, is the lock and handle surface mounted or mortise type handles.

What is the difference between surface mounted and mortise?

Surface mounted handles

Usually this type of handle is screwed onto the face of the sliding door frame and already has a built in lock that comes with the handle. They are notoriously easier to replace as the installation will amount to merely having to pull out the old screws, removing the broken or old handle and replace this with the newly purchased handle.

Patio Door Handles & Patio Door Locks

desain interior rumah minimalis type 36 – Patio door handles and locks fall under the subject of accessories to your patio. I’m saying this because there is an unwritten rule I tend to adhere to when it comes to accessories such as these.

Now let me first give the small print. This is different from one region to another and obviously has its exceptions.

The rule is that I generally don’t spend more than $50 per item on this type of accessory. Most of your financial resources should go toward better looking and better quality furniture and lighting, as your patio is there to be enjoyed.

Nevertheless, a fully functional handle and lock is important to have.

Handles come in varied shapes and sizes. Chances are that you will find something that fits in well with the frame of your patio door panel and also subtly blend in with the surrounding décor.

Your door panel will mostly determine the type and design of patio door handle (or sliding patio door handle) that you end up choosing. The most regular materials are:

Patio Door Security Locks For Your House

rumah minimalis type 70 – Sticking with just the standard locks issued with your patio door can sometimes be a dangerous option. Even though most patio door manufacturers pride themselves on a high production standard, the locks can sometimes be of a poor quality and therefore break easily if put under pressure.

This highlights the need that, in addition to installing a security bar, homeowners will be well served to install additional locks on their patio doors.

From a cost perspective, additional patio door security locks are almost always a relatively inexpensive accessory. Unless you intend on purchasing the type of locks suitable for FortKnox, chances are that you will be able to find high quality security locks for next to anything.

The Secret Of Successful Small Garden Design

Desain minimalis rumah type 100 – If someone has twice the space that I have but the same amount of junk, their clutter will appear half as much as mine. But they are no tidier than I, only, they have twice the space. This is the concept I want you to take away when you think about a successful small garden design.

If we think about the grand gardens of say the Chateau of Vaux-Le-Vicomte see how much space is between each point of focus. If you went for the same sort of spacing in a small garden design would we be able to create the grand quality of this garden in a micro kind of way?

Patio Door Curtains….Easy Does It!

jasa desain rumah minimalis – The case for curtains over patio door blinds is compelling. I sit well and truly on the fence when it comes to that debate. Reason is simple – both have merit in different decorative settings.  But for the patio door blind fan club, let me play devil’s advocate for just a while.

Here are 5 reasons to choose curtains over blinds for your patio door:

Curtains add decorative class to your room

If you are looking for something to add some more spice and character to your room, curtains are generally a better choice over blinds.

This doesn’t just stop with the actual textile which is available in thousand of colours and patterns, but also refer to the curtain poles. Poles are varied and can also give an extra boost to your room, e.g. metal curtain poles with patterns, wood poles, etc.

It doesn’t stop there either. With blinds a border is generally lacking that is superbly created by with curtains. Blinds only cover the patio door area, whereas curtains can also be used as extra decoration with the way in which it’s assembled and presented.

Patio Door Drapes: Dramatic Decorating

desain rumah minimalis modern – I don’t know about you, but when I think drapery, I think of the British Royal family with their royal residence in Windsor Castle, long hallways, high ceilings and window draping flowing from – what feels like – the heavens.

I think patio door drapery and the word ‘formal’ springs to mind, supplemented with a touch of classic elegance.

OK, I may be exaggerating a little, but I’m sure you get my point.

I know a sense of formality probably reminds you more of your spare guest room as opposed your patio doesn’t it?

However always keep in mind though that patio door drapes do, in many instances, contribute to a successful ‘bridge’ between the indoors and outdoors. Consequently if your interior is more formal, you may consider drapes as a suitable decorating option around your patio door.

First, let’s consider the difference between drapes and curtains. Basically drapes are pleated and more formal, whilst curtains are informal and generally gathered. Both are in essence long flows of fabric. They can be styled in a variety of positions, opening and closing many ways…

Patio Door Blinds: Decorative Flexibility

Desain rumah minimalis modern type 36– If there is one fact that will remain in home decorating, it’s that you are faced with choices, choices and more choices.

With your patio door you are confronted with the tough decision between patio door curtains, drapes and patio door blinds. The latter has many benefits, and here we’ll have a closer look at these.

Think back to your first thought when you were thinking, ‘patio door blinds’?

Perhaps a dodgy image of old vertical blinds sprang up in your mind – the type that you mostly find in rental apartments? At the risk of being misunderstood, let me say that I have nothing against vertical blinds. As a matter of fact I’m a big proponent if tastefully incorporated.

The array of alternatives for patio door blinds has grown exponentially over the last few years. No longer do you have to settle for one size, or one type, but can have custom made window blinds; styled to your preference in the materials you want.
