Stylish, energy-efficient patio doors can help your home look better, work better, and save you money. Today’s patio doors come in different styles and shapes. With so many choices, it can be hard to decide which ones to pick for your home. Some of the most common types of patio doors are sliding glass doors and hinged French doors. Both of these styles have good features, so it depends on what you need and want when choosing which one is best for your home. To make it easier, we listed some of the pros and cons for each type below. Plus, the experts at Quality Exteriors can answer your questions and explain your options.
There are many different types of French doors and sliding glass doors. You can customize them to fit your needs and preferences, and they come in different colors and configurations. Quality Exteriors carries vinyl, fiberglass, wood-clad, and aluminum replacement patio doors from top manufacturers that fit your budget. Depending on your available space, French swing doors can be combined with operable or fixed side-lite windows for additional light and airflow. Sliding glass doors can be configured with two to four glass panels and generally have a more modern appearance than French doors.
If you want more natural light in your home, consider adding exterior French doors or sliding glass doors. Sliding glass doors have large panels that let in lots of light and make any room look bigger. But they also take up more space than French doors because they slide open instead of swinging open. In addition to space considerations, your climate can impact your decision between sliding and swinging doors. Factors to consider include the likelihood of wind gusts that could blow out-swinging French doors closed, snow and rain that in-swinging French doors could bring into your home.
When choosing a patio door, it is important to think about security. There are many different types of doors, but some are more secure than others. Sliding glass and French doors are usually very strong and offer features that help protect your home from intruders, like impact-resistant glass and multi-point locking systems.
