DOES DESIGN MATTER WHEN PICKING A PATIO DOOR FOR YOUR HOME?

Patio doors are the gateway to your extended living space; they connect your living room to your exterior living space, increasing your floor space and generally making your home more attractive. But does the design of the door matter or should you just pick any patio door? Renewal by Andersen® of St. Louis discusses the importance of your design choice.

Does Design Matter When Picking A Patio Door For Your Home

Patio Door Design

While there are plenty of patio door designs to choose from, there are two that st and out – French and sliding doors. Both doors offer specific benefits to your home and excel in specific areas but they can be summarized into either functional or aesthetic patio doors. French patio doors are more aesthetic while sliding doors are more functional.

French Patio Doors

French doors are the “st andard” design choice for many homeowners, particularly those who live in traditionally designed homes like Colonial or craftsman houses. Their design exudes this classic appeal that blends well with almost any indoor or exterior living space design and pretty much becomes the center of attention for your living space.

These doors swing open, so we recommend this design if your living space is large enough and can spare the actual space. If you want a door that matches and even improves the aesthetics of your living room and extended space, then this is the one for you.

Sliding Doors

Sliding patio doors are a popular choice for both traditional and modern homes, but you’re more likely to find them in contemporary homes. The reason is that they’re more space efficient than French doors. They slide open instead of swinging open, and that means the doors themselves don’t take any extra space. They let more daylight into your home and consequently, more exterior views. If you’re looking for a door that maximizes space, then we recommend this one.

"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."
