Do you want to make your home energy-efficient and free from allergens like dust and pollen? Now is the time to take proper action. One way to do that is by installing sliding patio doors. They will also keep your home safe from harmful infrared and ultraviolet rays from the sun. Consider the following benefits of sliding patio doors over the conventional hinged units.
Energy-Efficient
Many of the new products available today block most of the sun’s heat. Thus, they keep your indoor temperature at a comfortable level. As a result, you can set the air conditioner at a much higher temperature, leading to savings on energy bills.
Available in Various Sizes
They are available in enough sizes to ensure you get the perfect fit for your home. No matter the size of the opening, it will still allow space for moving large furniture. The sliding rails on which the door rests allow you to completely move it out of the way. This is in contrast to traditional hinged options. However, our French doors are perhaps the exception.
Environment-Friendly
They are often made of fiberglass, metal or vinyl. We use wood but not in the entirety of the door, so manufacturing them is more environmentally friendly. We also use recycled glass and metals, leading to the use of less energy in the production process.
Take Up Less Space
They do not need the space required by traditional hinged units. These doors take up much less room, so you have enough space for other decorative or functional items. You can even hang curtains to ensure privacy.
More Daylight
These sliding doors are usually made of UV-resistant fiberglass or aluminum-clad wood. These features allow a larger glass area for more sunlight to enter a room. And the doors themselves block harmful UV rays better than traditional ones. Sliding doors also provide a more unobstructed view of the outdoors.
Andersen sliding doors last longer, look better and perform longer than most other choices on the market today. Our doors do not rot or crack, and they will not dent or warp. They can hold their own in rigorous testing in even the harshest climates.
