Patio doors are an important element for any home. They can create a strong visual effect both indoors and out. As you are shopping for the perfect patio door for your Indianapolis home, there are a few characteristics you should be considering. Here are the biggest factors in selecting the right patio door:
Sliding vs Swinging
Before we can get into any other details, you first need to consider whether you want sliding or swinging doors. Typically, swinging French doors are considered the more elegant option, but they also take up more space and require more care. They are not always a practical option in every home. On the other hand, sliding doors are lower maintenance and require less space, but they do not give the same visual appeal as French doors. If you do want a swinging door, but you don’t have room for the full double door experience, you might consider a single opening door where the other side is fixed.
Styling
Despite the fact that there are many low-cost sliding doors that are very plain, the fact remains that you can still choose a decorative option if you go with a company like Renewal by Andersen. By selecting a matching interior color and a beautiful grille pattern, you can always make your sliding door look more like a classic French door. However, in modern homes, it is more common to see plain doors with wide glass windows that draw in the light and bring out the straight lines.
Energy Efficiency
Another important consideration is whether or not your new patio door will contribute to the energy efficiency of your Indianapolis home. With Low E glass coatings and perfect seals, you can feel confident that your patio doors are not a source of lost heat and efficiency so you can enjoy the view to your backyard without having to close them off.
