There are so many patio door options available in the Knoxville area that finding the right one can take some work, especially if this is the first time you’re getting one. Fret not, however; with the right contractor and some planning, you can get the right patio doors on the first try!
If you are planning on getting French doors, don’t forget that hinged doors require room to swing open. Traditional French doors open inwards, so you will have to carefully plan indoor furniture placement. Otherwise, it would defeat the purpose of choosing French doors. Of course, you can always choose a sliding door if space is an issue. Alternatively, Renewal by Andersen offers out-swinging French doors, as well as Frenchwood® sliding French doors.
If your patio door will act as a secondary entry door, it may work as an entry point for, say, moving large furniture into your home. Hinged doors are the ideal style for this application. Additionally, a wide entryway can tie your indoor and outdoor spaces together, so anticipate the likelihood of remodeling your patio and/or interior space to achieve a unified effect.
Replacement doors are mostly made of glass. The right kind of glass package can help you save on your energy bills by minimizing heat transference, which results in heat loss during winter and heat gain during summer. Both push the air conditioning and heating systems to compensate for the temperature difference, leading to costly energy bills. Our own High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass packages all feature energy-efficient dual-panel assemblies, which help minimize heat transference, resulting in significant energy savings.
Patio door maintenance can be costly and difficult, considering that typical patio doors require scraping and repainting once every few years. Our Frenchwood®, Narroline® and Perma-Shield® patio doors are all made from low-maintenance materials with factory-applied colors and finishes. You can actually clean Renewal by Andersen patio doors with just a garden hose. Plus, our High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass packages feature an exterior coating that reduces water spotting by up to 99% when activated by sunlight.
