Just like entry doors, patio doors are designed to connect the outdoors to the rest of your home. Due to their glass panes, patio doors can create a seamless connection between your indoor and outdoor living space, enhancing the beauty of both. When deciding which style of patio door to invest in, consider these key factors:
Style
There are two main styles to choose from: French and sliding doors. French patio doors have different space requirements and hardware than sliding doors. Learning about the strengths and weaknesses of both options helps you make an educated decision.
Material
Patio doors come in a range of materials, each with pros and cons. Wood and metal last longer than other options, while PVC offers better energy-efficiency. Our patio replacement doors offer a fine balance of both longevity and energy efficiency, giving you the best of both worlds at an affordable price.

Energy efficiency has a big impact on how much value you will enjoy from your new doors. A door with energy-efficient features will help reduce your home’s overall monthly energy costs, yielding major savings in the long run. Examples of energy-efficient features include our Fibrex® frame material sand our Low-E4® glass panes that greatly improve your home’s insulation.
Size
Consider the square footage of your living space when deciding what size patio door to choose. Make sure your door will fit comfortably inside your home. If standard sizes won’t work, we can design a custom-fitted door to ensure an airtight seal when your patio doors are closed.
