What You Should Know Before Replacing Patio Doors

Getting new patio doors can be a serious investment for any homeowner. A patio door is not just about convenience, but also about security, energy efficiency, beauty, indoor comfort and longevity.

What You Should Know Before Replacing Patio Doors

Before purchasing a new patio door, it’s best to find out more about the type of door you need and discussing its benefits with your patio door contractor. Here are some of the factors you should consider:

Customizable Styles

No two homeowners are exactly alike. You want some unique features that reflect your personality. It’s best to work with a contractor that offers customizable patio doors. You can select the style, finish, grille pattern and interior stain of your patio door.

Energy Efficiency

A large glass patio door is an excellent addition to your living space, but the large glass is also a highway for heat gain or loss. This is why you should get only energy-efficient doors, such as those we offer at Renewal by Andersen®. These doors have dual-pane glass, just like our energy-efficient windows, and they allow in natural light and offer great views of the outdoors while also blocking harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and solar heat gain.

Door Location

Homes have different architectural styles and floor areas. It’s good to know that your patio door of choice will enhance your living space instead of limiting it. For example, if your old patio door took up too much space for operation, consider Renewal by Andersen’s contemporary sliding door designs. You don’t have to worry about the swing-out space as these doors slide open easily. These are perfect if you have furniture in the way of a swing-out door.

Modern and Classic Combination

You want a classic French door design, but, as in the preceding paragraph, you don’t have enough space for patio doors that swing to open. Renewal by Andersen has the answer as we offer sliding French doors. The timeless beauty of French doors is combined with the convenience of contemporary sliding doors. You can save space, but not sacrifice beauty.

"I'm getting ready to do my 2nd round of window installation with Anderson Windows. I really appreciate the great financing options that they offer! They have top notch sales and installation experts who are very kind and considerate of their customers' wishes. The windows I have installed look great and I am so excited to get the next group of windows put in. My house looks so much brighter with my new windows. I definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen of St. Louis."

"We recently contracted with Renewal by Andersen to replace 5 windows in our home. First of all, we were very delighted that the time from contract to installation was less than two months. Joel and Craig arrived precisely at the agreed-upon time and spent less than four hours from start to completion of installation, including time to demonstrate opening/closing the windows and any questions we had. We were very pleased with the knowledge and professionalism of Joel and Craig, and, of course, we’re very pleased with the windows and how nice they look. We definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen."

"I replaced my front door and several windows. The install team did a great job with installation and clean up. Even covered floors and stairs. The team was very courteous and did a very professional job. Now our windows look great and we love our new door. I would recommend Renewal by Anderson in a heartbeat."
