Patio doors are some of the best parts of your home. Depending on what you use, they can be a pretty long-lasting investment. They can become even more cost-efficient by reducing your energy bill. They can also raise your home’s value by impressing potential buyers. However, you’ll need the right type of door to do all that. Here at Renewal by Andersen® of Wyoming, we show you five factors that will help you find the best door.
1. Framing
There are many frame materials from which you can choose. Wood, vinyl and fiberglass are just some of the most popular choices. This determines how well your door handles heat, weather and wind.
2. Indoor Space
Look inside your home, and check how much space you have. The patio door can only work with enough space. Remember that design should work with function. For example, we offer sliding patio doors for smaller areas and for those wanting more space.
3. Energy Efficiency
Heat transfer is an important issue among homeowners today. With the right patio door, you can reduce the amount of work for your AC unit. This can save you more money, especially in the next ten years. That’s why all our patio doors come with Low-E4® glass. You can enjoy over 40% more energy efficiency with this variant than other glass types.
4. Glass Style
The glass isn’t only for function. You can choose quality glass types to go with your doors. The design can vary depending on your visibility and grille choice. For example, you can get privacy glass to keep your interior obscured from the outside.
5. Other Details
You should also consider what goes with your patio door. It’s not only the frame and the glass that matter. You should also think about what lock you want, what screen (if any) and what finish.
