Factors To Consider When Choosing Patio Doors
Below are some major points to consider when choosing patio doors for your home.
1. Style
The patio door is a big part of the exterior design and for the look of your home. Make sure that you choose exterior color and finish to match what’s in store inside! The ease of use should come first, but we also want it to be stylish, which is why our replacement hinged/sliding patio doors are available in colors that will coordinate well with many interior styles. You can even customize some components like hardware type or surface texture.
2. Maintenance
The best patio door is the one that will fit your lifestyle. There’s no point in installing a beautiful door if you have no time to keep it looking good, so we offer replacement doors with very minimal maintenance requirements. For example, our water-resistant replacement door means that this can stay impervious to the elements without losing its attractive appearance over time, making it perfect for busy people.
3. Security
Patio doors offer security to one of the main entry points to your home, so you have to consider security when choosing your patio door type. Fortunately, there are several doors, depending on the door type you need. All are strong and secure!
4. Energy Efficient
Patio doors are relatively small, but they have large windows that let heat in and out of your home. That’s why all our patio door replacements come with High-Performance Low-E glass. It is energy efficient and keeps the sun from heating your house on a hot day or letting it get cold during wintertime.
5. Types Of Patio Doors
There are two categories of patio doors: sliding patio doors and hinged patio doors. Bi-fold, industrial-style, and pocket doors are a few design options available. Hinged doors, often known as French doors, are typically wood. Because they open outward, they take up more space than sliding or pocket doors. Bi-fold doors are a form of sliding door that, when open, takes up a lot of room.
French doors are the most popular and adaptable patio door styles. High-quality French doors come in a variety of design options to match your decor, as well as sliding alternatives.
6. Material
The material you choose for your patio door frames has an impact on energy efficiency, attractiveness, and the time you’ll spend maintaining them. Patio doors are typically made of one of five materials. These are as follows:
- Steel
Steel is a durable and stylish option for patio doors. It’s low-maintenance and won’t chip, peel, or warp no matter what the weather throws at it. But, unfortunately, your door will rust with time unless you choose more expensive treated steel, especially if you live in a humid region.
- Aluminum
Aluminum is a less expensive alternative to steel. However, it lacks the strength of steel. Nevertheless, it’s a low-maintenance, lightweight choice that also looks beautiful.
- Wood
Wood has a timeless beauty and is quite durable. It can be stained to fit any decor or painted if desired. Unfortunately, wood demands a lot of upkeep, so you’ll have to touch up these decorative accents regularly.
- Fiberglass and Vinyl
Patio doors made of vinyl and fiberglass are both long-lasting and low-maintenance. They are resistant to corrosion, peeling, and denting, and you may order unique designs that look like wood or metal. Fiberglass is the more costly of the two materials, but it lasts longer and looks more robust., but it lasts longer and looks more robust.
