Our JELD-WEN Premium Wood and clad wood patio doors deliver outstanding energy efficiency and come with the benefit of AuraLast pine protection to resist wood rot and water damage.
Convenience
Sliding patio doors are a great way to seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces. They let in natural light, offer a full view of your landscape and uplift your mood. In addition, they help increase the value of your home and allow you to enjoy the fresh air.
French doors are another popular way to bring natural light and views into your home. They feature multiple lites or full-length pieces of glass and can be decorated with decorative grilles for a unique look.
When choosing a new patio door, it’s important to consider its energy performance rating. Energy efficient options are more cost-effective in the long run. Moreover, they’re also more environmentally friendly as they use less energy to heat your home. We carry a variety of energy-efficient patio doors from leading brands such as Andersen, JELD-WEN, Milgard and Pella.
Energy Efficiency
The energy efficiency of patio doors depends on many factors, including the type and size of glass panes, framing materials, opening mechanisms, and installation. However, they are generally designed with energy efficiency in mind and often feature features that reduce energy transfer.
They are also able to open inward, providing better ventilation and fresh air for a more comfortable indoor environment. This helps regulate temperatures, eliminate stale air, and save on energy costs.
Durability
A durable patio door seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor spaces, bringing in natural light, improving your home’s aesthetics and uplifting your family’s mood. However, weather conditions like freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall can wreak havoc on patio doors and cause visible damage.
Moisture buildup and drafts are common signs that your patio doors are wearing down, compromising insulation and energy efficiency. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help prevent such issues.
Sliding and French patio doors are available from top manufacturers including Andersen Windows & Doors, Pella Corporation, Milgard and JELD-WEN that offer a wide selection of stylish and dependable designs and excellent warranties. Regardless of the style you choose, look for patio doors with a high U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient to enhance energy efficiency.
Security
Patio doors offer an easy way to access your backyard and other outdoor areas without having to go around the house. This makes them convenient if you have kids, pets or guests who want to get outside quickly.
They also help brighten living spaces and reduce energy consumption thanks to their insulated construction. Window World of Huntsville’s Inovo patio doors feature dual internal/external weatherstripping, a compression bulb seal and closed-cell foam gaskets to create a tough barrier against energy loss.
Patio doors come with a variety of security features that make them a safer choice than French doors. For example, they can be fitted with a blocking bar or Charlie bar to prevent the door from sliding off its track. They also come with a range of locking mechanisms to prevent intruders from entering your home.
