And, better decisions lead to more positive outcomes. So, from time to time, we answer a few of the questions we hear most often to help you make better decisions while doing your initial research on replacement windows.

It is possible to convert a patio door to a window in almost every situation. Converting a window to a patio door for entrance and egress will depend on where on the wall the existing window currently resides. Replacement windows and patio doors are precision built to fit the opening left when we remove your existing fixture, without extensive reconstruction to the building envelope. This means that if you want to create an entry point where a window sits, it must already be at floor level. However, some customers have created some stunning focal points by installing French-style hinged and sliding patio doors to replace existing windows for aesthetic appeal only. Talk to your replacement window specialist about why and where you want to convert window styles for a personalized answer that fits your particular situation.
