Sliding patio doors can add beauty and value to your home. But it’s important to choose the right one. A professional installer can help you select the best product for your needs and budget.
Professionals also offer a workmanship guarantee. Serious DIYers can save money by installing the doors themselves, but the project requires advanced carpentry skills.
Energy Efficiency
Whether you are looking to replace your patio door or adding it to your home during renovations, it’s essential to understand the options that are available. The choices you make impact quality, value and safety.
New patio doors provide more natural light and a better view. Sliding doors offer large panes of glass that help reduce your need for artificial lighting during the day. This helps lower your electric bills.
Energy efficiency is a concern for many homeowners. Sliding and French patio doors feature Low-E glass and foam insulation to improve the thermal performance of your home. Proper installation is essential to ensure the best results. Look for ENERGY STAR labels and NFRC ratings to compare products. Consider a uPVC frame if you live in a humid climate to avoid condensation. A uPVC frame also resists rot and mold. US Window & Door offers several stylish and safe door options, including the Milgard Trinsic and Tuscany lines.
Ventilation
Therma-Tru patio doors are made to prevent heat from entering or escaping your home throughout the year, helping to reduce strain on your HVAC system. They also protect your interiors from the elements by preventing water infiltration and debris from entering your home, reducing maintenance and protecting your furniture and flooring.
Our sliding patio doors are a popular choice among homeowners in Charleston, Marion, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Pawleys Island, and Atlantic Beach, South Carolina.

Therma-Tru 200 Series hinged patio doors bring low maintenance French style to the back of your home. They can be personalized with a variety of grille, hardware and patterned glass options for style that suits your home. They are also engineered for durability and strength with wide patio mullions, multi-point locking gears, and a recessed strike plate.
Durability
Whether they are installed in Charleston, South Carolina or in a community nearby, patio doors should be made of a durable material to resist damage from moisture and inclement weather. These doors should also be able to block out heat to prevent heat loss and place less strain on your HVAC system throughout the year. Southern homeowners should choose a door company with an excellent track record of providing energy efficient and long-lasting patio doors to homes across the region.
Wood screen doors are a common choice for many homes, but they can quickly become soiled and rot when exposed to the elements. They can also twist easily, creating gaps that let insects in and require maintenance on a regular basis. By contrast, Narroline sliding patio doors are crafted of durable vinyl and have a smart design that makes opening and closing them a breeze.

Aesthetics
Patio doors come in a variety of styles that allow homeowners to choose the aesthetics they prefer. For example, sliding patio doors feature large glass areas with narrow frames that beautifully capture views of the landscape. Likewise, French patio doors convey the Southern elegance that homebuyers desire.
Another beautiful option is a bifold patio door system. These doors open with a folding accordion appearance that creates a seamless flow from interior to exterior spaces. They also provide plenty of ventilation without compromising privacy or security.
The best way to make the most of your new patio door is to be informed about your options. US Window & Door offers a treasure trove of styles and features, so make sure you consider all the possibilities before making your decision. This will help you achieve quality, value, energy efficiency and safety. This is especially important because any entryway into your home is an easy target for burglars.
