What To Look For When Upgrading Your Glass Patio Sliding Doors

Ensure you get quality and value for money while maintaining integrity on your desired style. You can use the following points as a guide for deciding with Ameriside:

• What is it made from? Choose sliding glass patio doors that are made from strong but lightweight materials. Vinyl is best suited for indoor sliding doors, while aluminum products will always work best for outdoor sliding doors.
• Security – Make sure to get a sliding door that has a high-quality locking mechanism built into the door frame. Basically, you have two choices: Surface mounted locks or steel mortise locks. The surface-mounted type is ideal for sliding doors installed in safe areas like the patio to the back garden or indoors. On the other hand, the steel mortise locks are more durable due to being installed inside the door frame.
• Blinds vs. Curtains – The never-ending question for many homeowners. Horizontal blinds work best for offices, while vertical blinds are ideal for patio sliding doors and basically any entries that have more traffic. Vertical blinds, although very popular, need to match the measurements of your sliding doorway exactly.
• Spare Parts – Since you’re planning to have these doors installed for at least 10 years, it’s best to buy from an installer that is a licensed contractor. You may want to have easy access to any spares that you might need.

Sliding glass patio doors can serve you very well for up to 15 years if you invest your money correctly. Choose a top-rated installer like Ameriside the first time around, and you will enjoy your view for many years.
