Homes that have limited floor areas need every square inch maximized. A patio can help extend the living space, but it requires space-saving patio doors. Renewal by Andersen® of Knoxville shares the perfect solution for such conditions: sliding doors.
Many homeowners choose hinged door styles such as French doors because they’re familiar.. However, hinged doors are not ideal for small spaces because of the required door swing space. Furniture and other potential obstructions will have to be moved or even eliminated.
French doors can be built with a swing-out direction, but the same compromise will have to be made, this time with patio furniture. Cleaning and maintaining a hinged door in a tight space can also be a challenge. In such conditions, sliding doors are the best solution. While it doesn’t allow full use of the wall opening like French doors do, it makes up for it with saved floor space.
We offer Perma-Shield® and Narroline® gliding doors, all of which are built to size. We call them “gliding” doors because of the dual adjustable, self-lubricating tandem rollers that use steel wheels with ball bearings. This makes the opening and closing experience feel so smooth, it feels like it’s gliding on air. Perma-Shield and Narroline are both exceptionally durable that it lets us craft slimmer frames and sashes, allowing bigger glass areas.
Just like our replacement windows, our patio doors are equipped with High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass packages. This energy-efficient glass features a low-emissivity coating system that selectively blocks UV and infrared rays while letting visible light to pass through. The double-pane system helps minimize heat loss during winter and heat gain during summer. This lowers indoor heating and cooling requirements, resulting in lower energy bills. Thanks to our sliding doors, you can enjoy a comfortable home with more space to move around in.
