Maximizing Natural Lighting at Home With Patio Doors

Natural light is one of the best and most affordable ways of brightening up a room. Not only does properly filtered sunlight make a room feel larger and more open, it also enhances the beauty of your decor. Additionally, sunlight has excellent physical and mental health benefits.

A great way to increase the amount of natural light in your home is by installing Renewal by Andersen® patio doors. Here are some tips for maximizing daylighting:

Style

The kind of patio door you choose affects the amount of light that enters your home. Our hinged French patio doors provide easy access to your home with their dual swinging doors. These are an excellent choice for homeowners who want an elegant way to increase the natural light indoors. For a more space-saving option that still offers the beauty of traditional French doors, our sliding French patio doors are a great alternative.

If the classic route doesn’t appeal to you, the modern design of our sliding contemporary doors might be preferable. This style features narrow wood frames and broad glass spaces for maximum light. No need to worry about the added heat, as our patio doors are built with High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass. This reduces indoor heat gain, keeping your interior comfortable.

Design Options

We offer a wide range of customization options, from hardware to textured glass to grilles, to help improve your door’s beauty and performance. Grilles and insect screens, in particular, affect how much light enters your home, so consider not only beauty but efficiency as well when making design selections.

Location

Where you decide to install your patio doors is another important consideration when it comes to taking advantage of natural lighting. Choose an area with ample sunlight; depending on your home’s floor plan, this could be the kitchen or the living room. You can consult an expert like us for guidance on door placement.

Whether you choose traditional hinged French doors or modern sliding doors, work with Renewal by Andersen of Central PA. We can install top-notch products that will provide stellar performance for many years. We serve State College and Reading, PA.
