Patio doors let in more natural light and can be designed to match your home’s style. They are made with durable materials that function well and stay beautiful over time.
ENERGY STAR qualified doors have a low U-factor and help reduce energy costs. They also help keep sunlight off furnishings and protect indoor spaces from heat and cold.
Construction and Design
Patio doors are an integral component of a beautiful home and can provide a clear view to the outdoors while protecting from inclement weather. They can be purchased in many styles, from a sliding door that maximizes glass to a French hinged model with a nostalgic squeak. Regardless of style, a quality patio door is made with lasting materials that reduce heating and cooling costs and resist damage from moisture and sunlight.
JELD-WEN’s patio doors feature sturdy construction and superior energy efficiency. They are available with an insulated mainframe and sash for optimal thermal performance, while dual weatherstripping provides a tight seal to keep inlet air out and conditioned indoor air in. These doors are designed to last and come with a lifetime limited warranty for peace of mind. Choosing doors with a low U-factor and high visible transmittance (VT) can save homeowners up to 15 percent on energy bills. These savings can also help offset the cost of new doors.
Materials
There are few pleasures in life more rewarding than relaxing on a hot summer day and gazing at the sunset from your back patio. But even that idyllic moment can be ruined by a warped, sticking, or broken patio door.
Choosing the right material for your patio doors will ensure they look and function beautifully for years to come. Here are some of the most popular options available:
Wood offers an elegant, traditional style that complements many homes. It also insulates better than steel. But stains, scratches, and dents can require more maintenance than some homeowners are willing to do.
Vinyl is an economical choice that resists dents, corrosion, and water infiltration. It is also a great choice for humid climates. Aluminum clad wood doors have the aesthetics of traditional wood doors with the durability of metal. They are energy efficient with low U-factors and high VT ratings. You can further improve their efficiency by adding Low-E glass coatings.
Energy Efficiency
Whether you live in Newberry or anywhere in between, new patio doors can reduce energy costs and improve your indoor climate. Compared to old drafty doors, new ones prevent heat loss and condensation to keep your home more comfortable throughout the seasons.
Featuring the slim, smart design of Renewal by Andersen sliding glass doors or the classic look of French hinged patio doors, both options are designed to withstand weather elements and make a positive statement in your home. Durable frames, composite weather stripping and a 5-point latch lock system ensure lasting function, while double pane windows block out UV rays to protect your furniture and interior.
Low U-factors and high Visible Transmittance ratings in Energy Star-qualified models offer improved insulation performance, keeping your living spaces cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Choosing an energy-efficient option can also qualify you for a tax credit, further defraying the cost of your new replacement windows.
Warranty
As part of their dedication to quality products, Renewal by Andersen patio doors are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. This means that any patio door unit that is defective due to manufacturing or installation will be replaced free of charge.
The warranty is transferable to a subsequent owner provided that the original Owner or their immediate transferee provides Rite Window with written notice within ninety days of the property’s deed transfer date. This warranty covers any damage to the door unit caused by weather conditions or vandalism, as well as the replacement of any parts, accessories, and labor necessary to repair the damaged unit.
Choosing the right patio doors for your Newberry SC home requires a lot of careful consideration. You should seek expert advice and guidance from window installation services to ensure that you end up with a product that will meet your needs and complement your home’s architectural design. These professionals can also help you choose windows that offer greater energy efficiency than those sold in big box stores.
