Standard Vinyl Sliding Patio with Door Two/Three Panel in Common Sizes

A sliding patio door
A patio door, or sliding glass door is a type of predominantly glass sliding door, in architecture and construction, that is situated in an external wall to provide egress from a room and access to a backyard or patio, providing "a pleasant view" and, when not fully covered, passive daylighting. Like a window, when open it also provides fresh air and copious natural light. It is considered a single unit consisting of two or more panel sections, some or all being mobile to slide open.

Patio doors work by sliding along a track to one side, meaning none of the precious space within your garden is compromised by doors that open outwards.

Overall, vinyl patio doors are a budget-friendly solution that can improve the overall aesthetic and value of your home. With vinyl materials, you can save money, enjoy lasting performance, and beautifully merge your indoor outdoor living spaces. 

Are you planning to have new sliding patio doors installed at your home? If so, it helps to understand common sliding patio door sizes. Unlike replacement windows, which are custom-made to the precise dimensions needed for each window opening, patio doors typically come in standard sizes.

Two-Panel Sliding Glass Patio Doors
The most common type of sliding patio doors are two-panel doors. These doors feature two panels, one that remains stationary in place and another one that slides horizontally to open and close. Common sliding patio door sizes for this style include:
60 inches (5 feet) wide by 80 inches tall
72 inches (6 feet) wide by 80 inches tall
96 inches (8 feet) wide by 80 inches tall
These patio doors may also come in extra-tall options like 82 inches or 96 inches, but these are less common.

Three-Panel Sliding Glass Patio Doors
In addition to two-panel patio doors, there are also options for three-panel doors. These doors allow for a more panoramic view and a wider opening. Typically, one of the end panels will open, and then the middle panel can continue to open from there for an even wider opening. As you can imagine, the common sliding patio door sizes for three-panel door styles are wider. Common widths include 108 inches (9 feet) and 144 inches (12 feet) for three-panel sliding patio doors, with the same standard door heights as two-panel doors. While four-panel doors and higher are also available and feature even larger widths, these types of sliding patio doors are far less common in general.
