Problems Caused by Poor Patio Door Installation

Your home’s patio door serves many purposes. It serves as a secondary entrance to your home, provides natural lighting and ventilation and also plays a part in your home’s security. It’s important to make sure that patio doors are properly installed or else you might end up dealing with the following issues.

Stuck Patio Door

Poor installation can cause hinges or rails to be misaligned, preventing the door panels from moving smoothly. This can make it difficult or even impossible to properly open or close the door. Unfortunately, severe cases usually require the complete reinstallation of the entire door.

Energy Loss

Door installation experts say that patio doors must form an airtight seal when fully closed. Otherwise, the door can have gaps where unregulated air can seep through. These air leaks can have a negative effect on your home’s energy efficiency, as they will require your HVAC to use more power to keep indoor temperatures at a constant level.

Moisture Damage

Aside from air leaks, poorly installed patio doors might be unable to completely protect your home from rain or snowmelt. This could cause water to seep into the frame or underneath the window panels and cause all kinds of moisture damage to the door, the walls, and even the floor.

Leave it to the Pros

Fortunately, installation problems are easy to avoid if you leave the task to certified experts. Just like with replacement windows, patio doors installed by the pros are less likely to have the problems mentioned above, plus they are covered by comprehensive product or service warranties in case of any other installation-related issues.
