Bridging the gap between indoor and outdoor spaces enhances both the aesthetic and functionality of a home. Patio doors can improve your property’s value, increase energy efficiency and add natural light to living areas.
Choosing the right patio door for your home requires research and a solid understanding of what you need. US Window & Door offers an extensive selection, each with unique features.
French Doors
FWDS offers an incredible selection of French doors for patios Orange Park FL homeowners can use to bring natural light into their home and create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Also known as double doors, these beautiful exterior options are often used for access to a deck or patio and add considerable curb appeal and value to the property.
With their glass pains running the full length of the door, French doors are perfect for allowing sunlight to flood the interior while blocking out excess heat, noise and harmful UV rays. Additionally, they can be upgraded with impact glass and a 3 point locking system to improve energy efficiency and security. While they are slightly more expensive than a basic door or sliding patio doors, the initial investment pays off in reduced utility bills and increased property value down the road. Moreover, they can be easily maintained with a wipe down and occasional washing.
Sliding Doors
Sliding doors are a great way to create large openings that connect indoor spaces and let in beautiful natural light. They also allow for wider views of the outdoors to enhance a connection with nature and can increase a home’s resale value.
Sliding patio doors consist of door panels that slide open along a track. They are available in two-, three- and four-panel configurations and can be customized with your choice of glass.
French doors are available in traditional pairs of side-by-side doors that swing open from the center or as single hinged doors that swing open to either the left or right. Typically, French doors require more clearance space to open than sliding patio doors do because they feature an additional panel that swings when they are opened.
Sliding doors are a more cost-effective option than hinged doors, but they do not take up as much interior floor space when open. They are an excellent choice for smaller homes that may not have the space to accommodate wide swinging doors.
Impact Glass
Patio doors in Orange Park FL that use impact glass are designed for homeowners who want to open their homes to the outdoors while still maintaining a high level of safety and strength. Unlike regular windows, impact glass provides protection from debris that can fly into your home during severe weather events such as hurricanes and tropical storms.
This state-of-the-art glass technology is also shatterproof and protects against break-ins by opportunistic burglars. Additionally, it will help to reduce moisture infiltration and unwanted air, reduce outside noises and improve energy efficiency.
You can recognize impact glass by a permanent etching on the glass or by multiple reflections. Moreover, impact glass bends and flexes with air pressure changes during storms to prevent parts of your home such as roofs from being blown away. This feature helps to improve your property value and can pay for itself in insurance premium reductions and energy savings over time. In addition, it eliminates fading from sunlight and keeps your carpeting, furniture and draperies cooler.
