A patio door is a beautiful, large type of door that is best suited for contemporary homes. The way it opens gives its distinctive style and sets it apart from French patio doors. French doors open outwards on a hinge whereas patio doors glide along a track to the side. While functional and architecturally appealing, there are many great reasons to replace your old patio door, from enhanced appearance to improved energy efficiency. Since the task is no easy feat, siding repair expert A&A Services Home Improvement lists down some essential points you need to consider before replacing your patio door.
1. Choosing the Design and Material
To begin, there are different kinds of door designs and materials that are available today. Wood-painted aluminum doors can resist insects and elements while achieving a charming historical-influenced appeal to your home.
On the other hand, vinyl patio doors are thermal resistant and do not show scratches and dings, resulting in a clean, sleeker appearance as long as you own them. You can also apply various stylish finishes to the material for a more pleasing look. Similar to periodic siding repair, your patio door should observe routine maintenance to fully optimize its benefits.
2. How Much Maintenance is Required
Different styles and materials of replacement doors require different levels of maintenance. If you have a vinyl patio door, an occasional wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap can do the job. However, if you have a wood-clad door, you will most likely need to scrape, sand, and repaint to keep it in excellent condition.
3. What Your Patio Door Can Offer You
A custom-designed door is an effective way to eliminate drafts inside the home, boost curb appeal and assure safety and security.
