It’s so easy to get really excited when installing your new patio doors. And, when you’re that excited, you could cut corners just to enjoy your new unit right away. This is a bad idea. Here’s why.
Most doors, including patio doors, operate in two ways: by swinging (either inward or outward) or sliding. The former needs floor clearance while the latter needs twice the wall width to accommodate the door, especially when it is open.
When you’re replacing your patio doors, the first thing to note is how much space you have for your patio doors. If you have hinged, swinging doors, note that they operate like a casement window, so make sure they won’t hit anything when you open them. For sliding patio doors, make sure you have enough space on the adjacent wall to open them.
Patio door frames also come in a variety of materials. Wooden frames look beautiful, but they are easily damaged and prone to moisture and temperature variances. This is especially tur for sliding doors, which need precise measurements, or they’ll get stuck in the track.
