Hinged
Hinged patio doors offer both ventilation and beauty. They can be configured with two operating doors or one operating and a passive door and can open in or out. They can be fitted with shutters to improve light control and privacy. Blinds bang and snag against your hinged patio doors, and curtains can allow outsiders to see silhouettes through the fabric. Shutters, on the other hand, tuck away discreetly behind your french patio doors and offer full privacy without any hassle.
Traditional styling and large panes of glass make these patio doors a portal to your backyard retreat. Composite stiles and rails provide protection against rotting, splintering, warping, denting, and other damage. Composite weather stripping reduces the risk of water infiltration and improves energy efficiency. Standard LoE 366 insulated glass with Argon provides an extra level of performance. Optional blinds between the glass further boost energy efficiency. Door skins are smooth white on the exterior and white on the interior, with wood grain textures available by special order.
Sliding
Patio doors offer a beautiful bridge between your indoor and outdoor living spaces, welcoming natural light into your home. These doors are available in a wide range of styles to complement different homes and can be customized with various features to meet your unique needs. For instance, you can choose insulated glass that helps maintain consistent temperatures and reduce energy costs. You can also opt for tinted glass to block out sunlight and provide privacy.
Sliding patio doors, which are a popular choice among Houston homeowners, feature large panes of glass that offer a stunning view and a seamless transition to your veranda or porch. However, the sheer amount of glass can present challenges like heat loss, sun glare, and privacy issues. To enjoy your sliding patio doors without these drawbacks, consider installing a set of window treatments that integrate seamlessly with your home’s design. The most effective treatment for sliding patio doors is home plantation shutters, which can tilt their louvers to redirect light and reduce glare or close them completely to maximize privacy.
Bifold
When fully opened, bifold doors create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. They also provide more natural light than sliding doors, which can have a positive effect on the mood and well-being of people in your home.
Patio doors can be installed with a level threshold or a ‘traffic door,’ which is ideal for homes with young children or wheelchair users. This is because a flush threshold does not have a lip that could be tripped over, unlike sliding patio doors, which often require a threshold of up to 12mm high.
Like other fenestrations and doors made of glass, bifold doors need regular cleaning with water and soap to keep them looking clean. They do not need to be painted, but can be treated with a wood finish to add a touch of warmth or contrast to your interior design. The slats of a bifold door can also be covered with grilles to create the appearance of individual window panes.
