Glazed back door in Gealan S 9000 Base

The Base is the simplest version of the Gealan S 9000 uPVC window profile: 120 mm frame depth, Uf 1.10 W/m²K, and a sash that slopes away outwards at 15°. That bevel is not decoration but a trick of the light — the shadow on the angled face makes the 119 mm sightline look narrower than it is. Of the S 9000 versions this is the least expensive, and technically it is the equal of the others.

The entry model of the Gealan S 9000 uPVC window, with a bevelled face that makes the frame look slimmer.

One door that opens outwards rather than inwards, glazed from top to bottom: a back door that works as a window onto the garden as well.

Where a front door opens inwards, this door opens outwards: the leaf swings over the patio rather than into the room, so it stays out of the way of the kitchen or living room behind it. The door itself is glass, more so than a front door, because the view of the garden is usually the point. If you are looking for a solid or half-glazed back door, note that this layout is a glazed door.

The standard size is 1,000 × 2,100 mm, the same as a single front door but with the opening direction reversed. If you want a wider opening onto the patio, French doors — two of these doors side by side — or a sliding patio door are the layouts made for that.
