When it comes to patio doors, the decision often comes down to either French doors or sliding doors. And when you’re deciding between a door for a home with a modern or contemporary design, then the winner is a sliding door. In this post, we will be discussing the factors that make this style perfect for a patio door and why.
Space Efficiency
The biggest draw for a sliding patio door is efficiency. There’s nothing more appealing than having a door that doesn’t take up space, and since these doors open sideways by sliding on a rail, the space you save with the design is by no means marginal.
The space efficiency of the door means you get more space to work with, both indoors and outdoors. This is perfect if you are after a minimalist design that favors open space with strategically arranged furniture. These doors also work well if you’re trying to maximize a smaller space.
Makes a Great Photo
One of the best things about having a sliding patio door is it lets you have a great view of the outdoors without actually being outside. This door style lets you frame a section of your patio into one great picture, thanks to the glass component of the sliding doors.
Ease of Use
A point of contention with most sliding patio doors is they can be tough to operate and maintain. This isn’t much of an issue with the doors we provide. Our doors run on self-lubricating tandem rollers that run on steel wheels weighed down by ball bearings. This means that they won’t derail and that they operate easily.
When you need to clean the tracks or the door itself, you can just simply lift each sliding sash away from the rail. This gives both the door and the track easy cleaning and maintenance. Returning the door to the rail is just as easy.
