We have two patio doors, each with two sashes and each two meters wide. Four meters of windows for eight meters of wall width – there's enough light coming in.

At the time, it was a relatively inexpensive solution compared to a sliding/lifting door.

We can live with it quite well, we can also exit through one wing at a time.

The wording means: looking back, I'm a little annoyed with my choice back then.

Today, I would design at least one of those two doors as a sliding/lifting door. Or full width glass with a sliding/lifting door.

I would also install a large window (floor to ceiling) and a smaller sliding/lifting door if needed.

At the time of planning, we had not yet developed living habits in the house.

We wanted to keep the ability to access the terrace left or right "on the cheap." In retrospect, it was unnecessary.... out of habit, we always use only one side.

The space required inside when opening the sashes is, in my opinion, a significant disadvantage (especially in a small house).

In the summer, when all the doors are open, the sashes must also be blocked by a limiter, otherwise they can open and close uncontrollably.
