PatioMaster South East has released sales figures that show how trends are changing in the patio door market.

One particular area of interest is in the growth in colour – for example, the company has seen a 20% growth in grey patio doors.

Co-owner Simon Spiers said: “Colour is an increasingly important theme for consumers and grey is a particular favourite when it comes to patio doors. Our grey patio doors are available from stock, which means they’re available on a rapid lead time. It removes one of the biggest barriers to purchase and sales have risen as a result.”

Another notable sales trend is in four pane door designs – the company has seen a 15% growth in this configuration.

“The trend is to have bigger glazed areas and more and more consumers are choosing wider patio doors as a result,” Simon said.
