Red Flags That Indicate Patio Door Replacement Is in Order

You are due to replace an important component in your Tennessee home once you identify signs of irreparable damage or any issues that prevent it from doing its intended function. At Renewal by Andersen® of Nashville, we recommend pursuing patio doors once you notice any of these red flags:

Drafts

Closed patio doors, just like windows, have tight seals to keep cool breezes from entering your interior. Seal failure, however, may lead to gaps, allowing outside air to leak indoors. At the same time, these same gaps let conditioned air out of your home. These result in lower comfort levels and high energy consumption.

Leaky patio doors also give rise to potential water damage, even when the annual climate in the Nashville area is pleasant for the most part. The small gaps in these doors provide rainwater entry to your interior, increasing moisture in vulnerable areas of the home. Upon identifying drafts, consider pursuing replacement doors that our company offers, which feature a weathertight seal.

Wood Rot

Rot is a common problem inside the home, and it can pose a health hazard to anyone in your family. It spreads and multiplies every time wood components in your fixtures, including your patio doors, becomes damp with moisture. You may not notice it right away, but the rotten area creates a breeding ground for insects.

Buying a replacement is the best solution for rot-related issues on your patio doors. Our hinged French doors, for instance, have a urethane base finish on the exterior door panels, which protects the whole units from water damage.

Turn to Renewal by Andersen of Nashville for your patio door needs. Apart from French doors, we also offer sliding doors, which feature effortless operation and a large glass area. Installed with track rollers, the sashes “glide” smoothly on a horizontal track.
