Enhancing Natural Light With Gliding Patio Doors

There’s no better way to brighten up a room than with natural lighting. Even on a rainy day, natural light will liven up any room in your home, and there’s no better way to achieve this effect than with Andersen® gliding patio doors.

Natural Lighting From Doors

Our patio doors can flood your living space with refreshing sunlight. To make the most of this effect, consider the placement of your gliding doors very carefully. If you want to enjoy bright daylight in the morning, it’s best to install patio doors facing the east, whereas if you want more light in the afternoon you should install west-facing doors. Would you like to wake up to a breakfast in the sunshine while relaxing in the shade after work? Then an east-facing door is the best fit for you.

Natural Lighting and Energy Efficiency

At Renewal by Andersen® of Central PA, we understand the importance of energy efficiency. When positioning your sliding contemporary doors, you should also consider that the areas hit by the sun will heat up more. In the winter, this is generally welcome, but in the summer it means you’ll have to crank up your air conditioner, which leads to higher energy bills. If you don’t have too much leeway for choosing the optimal position, you can always invest in window treatments.

Customizing a Timeless Classic

There’s nothing better than sunlight shining through the glass panels of beautiful patio doors. Talk to our Andersen-certified professionals about customization options if you have ideas about a modern twist to this ageless classic.
