One does not have to be a photographer to appreciate the impact that natural light has on an environment. Installing patio doors contributes to sun-drenched interiors, which tend to improve the moods of both residents and guests.
Besides making living spaces more inviting, modern patio doors are made to be increasingly energy efficient. Property owners often choose specially coated, low emissivity (Low-E) glass for their patio doors that reflect ultraviolet rays and improve the heating efficiency of their homes. Others, who live in colder climates, may just use plain glass in their patio doors to let in light and heat. Many of our manufacturers offer patio doors that feature double-pane, Argon gas-filled glass panels that insulate the home and stabilize indoor air temperatures.
While some property owners rely on expansive, picture windows to highlight stunning outdoor views, others find that patio doors represent a more practical option. People love our patio doors because they provide easy access to outdoor living spaces.
They are great for families that have young children, who must be supervised while at play in the yard. Our top-quality patio doors come in a variety of materials such as fiberglass, vinyl, steel and aluminum, and we offer an assorted selection of hardware that adds style and security.
Traditional French doors feature individual glass panels that are divided in a grid pattern by separators that are called mullions. These hinged patio doors are designed to either swing in or out onto a sunroom or patio.
While French doors add elegance and light to almost any residential setting, a home's interior design and furniture layout must be considered since traditional French doors require space to open and shut properly. Some of our partnered patio door manufacturers also offer sliding French doors. These doors offer the classic look of French doors, but they glide parallel to walls, which saves space and adds design flexibility.
While traditional French doors have true divided light or glass panes, the sliding door version usually consists of two or more large glass panels that have removal mullions. The mullions give the appearance of divided lights that are characteristic of traditional French doors.
Create a vibrant mural of the outdoors in your home. Milgard stacking glass walls open up by sliding large glass door panels on top of each other, flooding the room with natural light and fresh air. The aluminum frames and panels are thermally broken with a full weather-stripped structural interlock system for improved energy efficiency. Customize your glass wall with four exterior frame colors including Clear Anodized and Dark Anodized Bronze. Choose between an all aluminum frame or aluminum clad wood option with a solid wood interior.
