4 Ways to Get the Most out of Your Patio Door Installation

Patio doors are more than just a way to access your patio. They provide numerous benefits to your home from beauty to enhanced energy efficiency and security. If you are looking into buying new patio doors, we recommend prioritizing the following factors.

1. Energy efficiency features.  Heat moves into areas with a lower temperature, a process known as thermal transfer. This results in heat loss when it’s cold outside, and heat gain when it’s hot. In an energy inefficient home, your HVAC system bears the burden for correcting this issue, which leads to higher energy bills. Renewal by Andersen® patio doors are designed for maximum energy efficiency, thanks to our insulated frame options and High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass options.
2. Durability. Carefully consider the materials, build, and installation process, as all three contribute to your patio doors’ durability. Whether you choose hinged French doors or contemporary sliding doors, you can count on Renewal by Andersen to provide a product that will provide superior performance for many years.
3. Style options. When shopping for patio doors, avoid pre-built assemblies. Not only are they unreliable, but it’s harder to find a generic patio door that will actually look good with your home’s specific architectural design. This is one of the many reasons why Renewal by Andersen offers patio doors that are built to size. We offer a huge selection of customization options—from color to hardware to custom sizes—making it easy to design a door that looks beautiful in your home.
4. Maintenance requirements. Our patio doors require virtually no maintenance, thanks to our the protective coatings and vinyl sheaths of the frames. Our High-Performance Low-E4 glass  feature metal oxide coatings that cause water to sheet off and reduce 99% of water spots when activated by sunlight.
