4 Factors That Make Sliding Patio Doors the Sensible Choice

Renewal by Andersen® offers replacement doors in Knoxville that fit patios of all shapes and sizes. While our patio doors can be customized for just about any home style, certain conditions call for certain types of patio doors. In this blog post, we discuss the situations that make sliding patio doors the appropriate patio door style.

4 Factors That Make Sliding Patio Doors the Sensible Choice

Aesthetics

Sliding patio doors are often associated with modern aesthetics, as they lend themselves well to clean lines and solid colors. If you’re designing your home with a similar aesthetic approach, then sliding patio doors are the appropriate style.

We offer four solid exterior finishes (White, Canvas, Sandtone and Terratone®) that complement any color palette. Our Perma-Shield® frames are available with the same four interior color options that you can mix and match. Our Narroline® option is available in a stainable pine option, if you prefer a textured wood-grain look. Our hardware options are likewise available in different interior and exterior finishes.

Glass Area

Our sliding doors are made with materials that are exceptionally strong and durable. This doesn’t just improve their longevity, but it also allows us to build slimmer door frames without compromising their strength. The slim door frames allow bigger glass areas, perfect for designs that require a wider view. Our High-Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass blocks heat from the sun, as well as up to 95% of harmful UV rays, while letting through as much natural light as clear glass does. You can let as much natural light in as you want, without worrying about the undesirable effects!

Indoor Space

Hinged doors require room to swing open, which makes them unsuitable for homes with limited indoor space. This is where sliding doors are simply the better — if not the only — choice. Sliding doors free up space that you can use for furniture, or just for more room. 

We know how important the track system is to the patio door’s quality and long term performance, which is why our sliding patio doors feature Andersen-designed track rollers. They feature adjustable, self-lubricating tandem rollers that use steel wheels with ball bearings. This makes our sliding doors so easy to operate, it feels like the sashes are gliding on air every time.
