Choosing the Perfect Patio Door

Patio doors should provide a lot of illumination for one of the most social areas of your home. It should also ensure easy access to the outdoors. In a sense, the choice of the right patio door is essential to creating a smooth transition between these areas of your home. Depending on your personal style, you can create a sense of continuity or subtle guardedness.

Renewal by Andersen® of Portland offers three great options for your patio doors in Portland:

Hinged French

Also known as casement doors, these are as traditional as you can get. These patio doors swing outward into the fresher air of the outdoors and let a lot of light into your home, depending on the design. Take into account that the mechanism of opening requires adequate space around the door.

Sliding French

Derived from the original hinged French design, this particular type of patio door slides from side to side. It might not open widely, but it’s still convenient to use. This is perfect for households that entertain guests regularly. Like its hinged counterpart, you can customize the glass, the color finishes, and even the grill design.

Sliding Contemporary

The difference between the contemporary and French sliding design lies in the thinner, sleeker frame of the former. This design consideration allows you to maximize the area covered by the glass. You get to enjoy even more light coming in should you choose this option.

In terms of design, Renewal by Andersen of Portland has two special options that fall under this category. The Narroline® sliding doors sport a gorgeous natural pine interior, while the Perma-Shield® option features low-maintenance doors hewn from vinyl.
