High-quality patio doors provide a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor living spaces, enhancing the beauty and accessibility of both. They can add life to your home by admitting abundant natural lighting, creating an open, airy vibe. Their performance, however, depends on a number of factors. Read on as Renewal by Andersen® of Seattle, the premier door replacement company, discusses the key components that affect the quality of your patio doors.
Glass
With recent advances in the industry, patio doors can do a lot more now to keep your home cozy. Most contemporary patio doors come with innovative features that can drive your utility costs down. At Renewal by Andersen, our replacement units come with advanced High Performance™ Low-E4® glass, which is 45% more energy efficient in summer and 56% more energy efficient in winter than regular dual-pane glass. Its unique coating blocks harmful UV rays from entering your home, preventing your valuables from fading.
Frame Material
The frame is the backbone of your hinged patio doors. A framing material that provides superior strength and insulation is always desirable. Fibrex® is an innovative composite framing material that combines the best qualities of wood and vinyl. The technology behind Fibrex ensures long-lasting performance and beauty.
Style
Hinged and sliding patio doors differ in operation. Sliding doors move horizontally along a track, a perfect choice for modern homes that feature sleek lines and minimalist decor. In contrast, hinged patio doors swing inward for easy access to your exterior space. Pick the style that meets your needs and preferences.
