Tips on Choosing the Best Patio Door for Your Home

Your patio door is an important element of your outdoor and indoor living space. It secures your entryway and helps facilitate smooth and seamless transitions. Its design also complements your patio’s style. Renewal by Andersen® of Portland, the trusted expert in Portland door installation, gives tips to help you choose the best patio door for your needs:

Consider your patio door’s appearance

This is important to your home’s overall look. You need to choose an exterior patio door color that matches your home’s color scheme. As much as possible, go for premium quality materials. Engineered wood core patio doors, like our products, have the right appearance. Apart from being solid and, durable, they can add luxury to your patio.

Think about door operation

We can provide two different kinds of patio doors in Portland, based on operation styles. Our patio doors can either swing on a hinge or glide on a track. If space is tight, we recommend going for our gliding patio doors. We can provide both traditional and contemporary style gliding patio doors to match your home’s architectural design.

Choose a low-maintenance patio door

Fortunately, our patio doors are durable and easy to care for. We protect our patio doors’ exteriors with different methods depending on the product. Our patio doors can feature a urethane base finish, a rigid vinyl sheath, or a fiberglass composite exterior. All of these help keep our patio doors low-maintenance.

Use energy-efficient glass

Patio doors often have a large amount of glass, so it’s important to use insulated glass to save energy. Our patio doors all come standard with our High-Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass. This can save you up to 25% on your energy bills depending on your home’s location and the weather. It works by reflecting heat back to where it came from. This means our door can keep your interior cool in summer and warm in winter.
