Tips to Make the Most of Your Patio Door Replacement

You need a good patio door to access your deck or patio. There are dozens of styles, colors and materials you can choose from, and every one of them have their own sets of advantages and disadvantages. For example, French doors are a great stylish option to accentuate a beautiful outdoor living area. On the other hand, sliding doors are useful for homes with limited floor area due to their space-savvy operation. So, you need to be careful during the selection process.

Tips to Make the Most of Your Patio Door Replacement

Consider Daylighting Options

Brighter rooms can appear bigger than they actually are. This means that if your patio leads to a small landing area indoors, you can create a bigger and more welcoming environment as long as you keep things well-lit and airy. Combine this with convenient sliding patio doors, and you have the perfect recipe for a well-designed living area. This works incredibly well for homes whose patio doors happen to already face the general direction of the sun during the day.

Energy-Efficient Patio Doors

Aside from design and daylighting factors, energy efficiency should also be a priority. Large glass areas in patio doors can increase your solar heat gain coefficient, that is, the amount of heat that enters your home from sunlight. Today, there are modern glass and glazing options that can reduce indoor heat gain without sacrificing how much light they let inside. Talk to your professional about which glass solution is best for your new replacement patio doors.

Design Consultation

The best way to make replacing your patio doors go as smoothly as possible is to enlist the aid of skilled professionals. Do not attempt to DIY a patio door replacement as the risks simply do not justify the amount of money you could potentially save. Save yourself the trouble, and contact your local door and window company to get started on your project right away.

"Very pleased with installation of six windows and a ProVia entry door. I love the look of the windows and door. I am pleased that my wife is thrilled with the look of the door. She is very pleased that the bronze color fits in well with the color of the brick."

"I just had my Renewal by Andersen windows installed and couldn’t be happier, the entire process went very smoothly. The windows are high quality and look great. But the installers Roy, Zack and Jordan were the stars, they introduced themselves upon arrival walked me thru everything they were going to do and when they finished took me to each window to make sure I was completely satisfied. They were clean and courteous and I would definitely recommend and have them work in my home again."

"Wonderful experience with knowledgeable, competent employees. We had Andersen windows in a previous house & didn’t even consider anything else this time. After replacing our patio door almost two years ago, we replaced all our windows this year. What a difference over builder-grade windows, especially in the really cold temperatures we’ve had this year. Andersen windows may be a little more expensive than other brands, but they are top quality."
