Features to Look for in a Door Replacement

What are the essential qualities and features to look for in a door that will make it a worthwhile replacement? Making an informed decision is essential, as this is a significant investment. Renewal by Andersen® of Portland has a unique take on the simple patio door that makes it stand out among the others.

Beauty with little cost

Some of the most beautiful doors today have frames made from wood. The only downside with wood is that it eventually rots and deteriorates, and is difficult to maintain in the best shape. What makes Renewal by Andersen’s patio doors in Portland worthwhile is that we use Fibrex®. This material is 40% wood fiber and 60% thermoplastic polymer—retaining the classy and classic look of wood while getting rid of the problem with rotting.

Strength, durability, and longevity

Patio doors will be used on an almost daily basis and constantly subjected to the elements, so you’ll need a durable and long-lasting option. Where the wood component of Fibrex provides the aesthetic look, the vinyl component is what provides much of the material’s strength and durability. Other characteristics that are worth noting are their resistance to rot, fungi, and decay.

Getting what you pay for

Your patio door should look good, work well, and last long. One feature you should add is energy-efficiency. Fortunately, our doors feature Fibrex and High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, which effectively blocks heat transfer across its surface. These features are also present in our replacement windows in Wilsonville. This means that your air conditioning units won’t have to work too hard to keep temperatures at comfortable levels. You now have the opportunity to experience lower energy expenses monthly.

Don’t settle for less when it comes to your patio doors, especially when there’s an option that combines essential features in an attractive package. Call Renewal by Andersen of Portland today, and we’ll be happy to discuss with you all the best options availabl
