Type

Choosing the right type of Patio Door depends primarily on the space you are designing for and how light and open you want it to look.

• Sliding – This type of patio door is perfect for nearly any patio or deck.  It opens by sliding along horizontal tracks at the head and/or sill.
• Swinging – Add an element of drama to your home, on either a small or grand scale with a swinging patio door.  This type includes French doors, which open in the middle.
• Folding – Sliding on an overhead track, these doors neatly fold away and open up an entire wall to the outdoors.

Material

We combine high quality materials with a smart manufacturing process for durability and beauty.

• Aluminum – A lightweight and strong material that is a cost effective alternative to wood.  This material is corrosion-resistant and performs well in most climates.
• Fiberglass – This material features both the feel and look of genuine wood, right down to the knots and cracks, with less upkeep.  In fact, these doors are built to consistently withstand the rigors of any climate - hot or cold, wet or dry.
• Steel – An economical option, steel offers strength and durability and is a good choice for most climates.  These doors are also treated to deliver superior rust-resistance.  They will require only minimal maintenance (in especially moist areas, they may require minor upkeep).
• Vinyl – A strong plastic material that is used for its durability, energy efficiency and ability to stand up to the elements.  This material will never fade in color, flake, peel or rot.
• Wood – Wood comes from trees that grow in a variety of species, such as fir, pine, mahogany or alder.  Each species has a range of characteristics, like grain, color and sap content, which contributes to its unique appearance.
• Clad-Wood – Like a coat of armor, cladding is a strong layer of metal on exterior wood patio doors, providing extra protection and low maintenance benefits with no exterior painting required.
