Patio doors serve as the perfect bridge between your indoor and outdoor living spaces. They can transform your home’s ambiance and add fresh air. They can also be improved for energy efficiency, resulting in lower heating and cooling costs.
Patio doors come in a range of styles, including sliding, French, frameless and bifolding. They can also come in different colors and threshold solutions.
Sliding Doors
Sliding doors are an easy way to create a seamless connection between your indoor and outdoor living spaces. They are popular in Houston for their space-saving design and energy efficiency. Sliding patio doors are available with a range of glass options, so you can match them to your home’s decor style and light requirements.
Sleek and contemporary, they are a smart choice for modern homes in Houston, from mid-century homes in Memorial to newer Mediterranean-style homes in Piney Point Village. They also complement the clean lines of traditional homes, from bungalows in Memorial to ranches in Bellaire.
New sliding patio doors will instantly improve your view of the outdoors, and a refreshed look can add curb appeal to your home. Choose from a selection of durable materials, hardware finishes, and premium double-pane insulated glass. And, when installed by a Renewal by Andersen of Houston certified contractor, you’ll be covered by one of the industry’s strongest window and door replacement limited warranties.
Bi-Folding Doors
The beauty of bi-fold doors is that they allow more natural light into interior spaces. Their design also creates a more seamless transition between indoor living areas and outdoor living spaces. This makes them a popular option for homeowners that want to enjoy the outdoors without having to leave the comfort of their home.
Bi-fold doors are available in a variety of configurations, including different numbers and sizes of panels. They also come in a range of materials, such as aluminium, timber, and PVC. The material you choose will affect the cost and energy efficiency of the door.
You can also add fly screens to your bi-fold doors for extra protection from insects and sand, debris, and other elements that could get into your house. This will help you to make the most of your view without letting any pests in. You can also install screening on balconies and small gardens for privacy. If you have a low garden or balcony, consider adding screening hedges to prevent neighbouring homes from peering into your space.
