Patio doors provide access to your outdoor space and can enhance your home’s energy efficiency. They can increase your home’s value and add comfort to your indoor living spaces.
Look for security features designed into your new patio doors to protect you and your family. For example, opt for a metal internal reinforcement that deters forced entry without altering the appearance of the frame.
Sliding
Adding sliding patio doors is an easy way to improve the look of your home, while also increasing its value and functionality. These doors are made from two panes of glass that slide past each other, so they don’t require a frame and are more energy efficient than traditional doors. Sliding doors are easy to operate, offer a clear view, and make it easier for you to enjoy your outdoor space.
Transform your home’s indoor spaces with patio doors that bring in more natural light and blur the line between indoors and out. Multi-slide and bifold doors allow you to take full advantage of your backyard oasis or city skyline, while providing a seamless transition from interior to exterior. Sliding doors are available in a variety of finishes and styles to complement both traditional and modern home architecture. For added security, add side mount or overhead crisscrossing bars to inactive sliding panels. They keep prying tools and intruders from gaining access while still allowing for ventilation and sunlight.
Swing
If you’re looking to blur the line between your indoor and outdoor living, swing patio doors are a perfect choice. Available in single and double French doors, these hinged doors offer a timeless beauty. Available in many different grid options, these doors can work with both traditional and modern home styles.
Because of the way they open, swing patio doors require more space than sliding doors. They should be left clear of furniture and other items to ensure that they can easily be opened and closed.
Swing patio doors can be made energy efficient by using a foam core in their construction. This helps to reduce energy costs and improve the interior comfort of your home. They can also be fitted with a multi-point locking mechanism for added security. For homes in areas prone to hurricanes or tropical storms, impact-resistant glass is available. The doors offered by US Window and Door are also optimized for durability and longevity.
Vinyl
Known for their strength and durability, vinyl patio doors are a popular choice for homeowners who want both style and security. Available in both sliding and swinging styles, these doors are easy to maintain and come with many options and features. These include blinds-between-glass, privacy and security innovations, grille patterns and more. They also offer metal internal reinforcements to resist bending and prying, making them an excellent option for homes that are frequently visited by intruders or those located near high traffic areas. They are also available in a variety of colors and finishes to match your home’s exterior. Some models are energy efficient, too.
Fiberglass
A new patio door can transform indoor spaces. Add expansive glass to flood rooms with natural light, blurring the lines between interior and exterior, or opt for a swinging door that opens wide to let in fresh air and entertaining guests.
Fiberglass is time-tested and naturally strong, resisting dents, bends, and breaks to keep your doors beautiful with less maintenance. It also withstands environmental temperature swings, so it doesn’t melt or soften in extreme heat and won’t freeze in the cold.
Therma-Tru hinged patio doors look as beautiful as wood but perform like steel, backed by full-system limited warranties. They are a great choice for homeowners who want a secure, energy efficient and durable alternative to wood doors and can be enhanced with internal steel reinforcements, which help deter forced entry. The laminated glass built directly into the fiberglass provides critical delay time against intruders and dampens outside noise. A solid locking system is included to further enhance security.
