Practical Tips on Choosing Patio Doors

With so many different types and styles of patio doors available, you can customize them to fit your home’s architectural aesthetic. The main problem facing homeowners now is how to choose the right one for their home. The number of options at your fingertips makes this quite the challenge indeed.

Here are some helpful guidelines on selecting patio doors.

Space

Patio doors are a great way to extend your living space, creating a natural and coherent connection between the indoors and the outdoors. French patio doors swing open. This means they will take up some space, which could be problematic for smaller homes. If space is a consideration, you may want to choose sliding patio doors, which are perfect for saving space in living areas.

Glass

Your choice of glass is just as important as the door itself. Renewal by Andersen® doors come with High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass to maximize efficiency and minimize ultraviolet-related damage. You can also ask our professionals about our glass options to find one that will fit your needs.

Frame Material

Patio doors, much like your windows and siding, are exposed to the elements. This means choosing a material that’s durable enough to withstand nature and versatile enough to complement the rest of your home’s exterior must take high priority. Renewal by Andersen offers the best option in Fibrex®, a composite material with the classic beauty of wood without the high-maintenance requirements.
