Which Sliding Glass Doors Are Right for Your Home?

Does the patio door in your home look and function how you want it to? Perhaps it’s time to consider a replacement. A new sliding glass door can bring in natural light and enhance your home’s beauty. Here are some things to consider when you are figuring out which patio door is best for you.

Fiberglass Doors:
These are very durable doors that are low maintenance and highly efficient. Some fiberglass sliding glass doors come in exterior frame colors so you can match them to your home’s style.

Moving Glass Walls:
Moving glass walls add affordable luxury to homes and are customized to fit your space. We carry moving glass wall systems come in 3 to 6-panel configurations with pocket, stacking, and bi-fold doors. They are crafted with aluminum on the structure and frame and are completely weather stripped to ensure no cold air leaks in or warm air leaks out. Opening and closing is seamless because of the tandem stainless steel ball bearing rollers. These are perfect for homeowners that love to entertain, because they provide easy access to the inside and outside of the home.

Vinyl Doors:
These doors are a wonderful option for replacement patio doors. They work well in tight spaces or in rooms where furniture is close to the door. Vinyl is a very versatile material that works well with different architectural home styles. It is also incredibly energy efficient and requires little maintenance.

Aluminum Doors:
For contemporary or modern homes, aluminum sliding glass doors are a popular option. If you are replacing your current patio door, consider adding another small window to the side of the patio door to create a wall of windows. This allows for enhanced light and an even more unique look.
