Patio Doors

When choosing between a hinged or sliding patio door, consider the space around the door. Is there furniture that would interfere with opening a hinged door? Many people find sliding patio doors as the best option because they don't require extra space for the door to open into.

Sliding glass doors are a good choice because the large pane of glass allows for a beautiful view to the outdoors. The frame can be aluminum, wood, wood clad, or vinyl.

Patio doors can offer increased energy efficiency. Ask for a list of doors with a low U-rating, double paned or coated glass.
