Sliding Patio Door Benefits
Sliding doors are a widely used option for homeowners looking for an aesthetic and functional solution for accessing their backyard. Here are some of the benefits you can expect from installing a sliding patio door in your yard:
Accessibility: Highly accessible and easy to use, due to the minimal amount of effort required to maneuver the door, thanks to the door track and rollers.
Energy-Efficiency: Traps natural light and heat in your home; great for reducing heating and cooling costs, reducing energy bills.
**We offer a variety of energy-efficient options, including double or triple glazing, Low-E glass, inert gases between glass panes, low conductivity spacer bars, and insulated frames, sashes, and door cores**
Security: Doors are secured in tracks, and contain safety locking mechanisms, safety glass, and tight seals to protect you and your loved ones.
Uninterrupted Views: Opens up the look of your space. Perfect for enjoying your view of the outdoors, as well as monitoring your pets and/or young children.
Ventilation: Sliding feature allows for controlled airflow. Added screens can keep out insects.
