When you notice drafts, cracks and other visible damage on your patio door, you’re likely due for a patio door replacement. While patio doors can last for up to 30 years, their lifespan can be longer or shorter depending on the quality of the door you install. Since it’s not every day that you experience replacements, it may be tricky to understand how the process works.
To minimize mistakes and stress related to your project, Renewal by Andersen®, the leading local provider of French doors and casement windows, explains what you need to know before getting a replacement.
Patio doors come in multiple styles, but they can be grouped into two basic categories: hinged and sliding. For instance, you can choose sliding French doors or hinged French doors depending on your architectural style and floor space. Hinged doors have a classic and timeless appeal while sliding doors offer better functionality for homes with limited floor space. The latter mostly go with modern home styles due to their expansive glass and minimalist look.
If you lead a busy lifestyle, this is something you must first take into account. As with window replacement units, the required amount of maintenance may vary depending on the materials used to manufacture your doors. For instance, vinyl patio doors won’t need much upkeep, while wood doors will require frequent maintenance to stay in top shape.
Get the most out of your French hinged or sliding patio doors by hiring professionals to handle the installation process. Aside from the proven experience and skills they offer, you’re also protected from costly problems with a comprehensive warranty that covers both labor and materials for your patio doors.
