Replace your Old Patio Doors to Improve Energy Efficiency

If you’ve ever felt a bitter cold draft as you walked by a patio door in your home, you’re not alone.  A home’s exterior doors can be a common source of air leakage, and can also waste energy through conduction, especially if it’s old, uninsulated, improperly installed, or improperly air sealed. Ensuring that your patio doors are as energy efficient as possible can save you money by reducing heating, cooling, and lighting costs, and improve the overall comfort of your home.

Replacement Sliding Glass Doors

Sliding glass patio doors are a popular feature found in many homes today.  They offer convenient access while also creating an unobstructed view either inside or out. Glass patio doors offer you the opportunity to bask in the glow of the natural light they provide.  Technology has allowed both door frames and glass to be much more energy efficient than in the past.  Many modern sliding patio doors, like the Milgard® Tuscany Series, also offer optional sun coating protections, decorative grids or glass, and a higher level of security with advanced locking mechanisms.

Replacement French Doors

French patio doors have an aesthetic appeal that creates an elegant, timeless look that adds visual character from both inside or outside a home.  Elevate your style with Milgard French doors.  Ultra Series Fiberglass patio doors offer the performance and energy efficiency you want combined with a contemporary style that creates visual impact.  The French style doors are available in multiple panel configurations.  Milgard® also offers a French-style sliding door that has the appearance of traditional swing doors, while functioning as a sliding glass door.

Replacing old patio doors can open up your home to more light and ventilation.  New professionally installed patio doors often fit and insulate better than older types.  If you have older glass patio sliding doors or French doors in your home, replacing them might be a good investment, resulting in lower heating and cooling costs.
