Sliding Patio Doors. A great space-saving option, sliding patio doors boast style and extreme functionality. Sliding glass doors create an effortless transition from indoors to out, and if you have a vinyl sliding door, it will require little to no upkeep. The expanded glass area offers an incredible amount of natural light to fill your living space, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere no matter the time of year.
Swinging Patio Doors. Available in center-hinged, garden and French door styles, swinging patio doors add a hint of elegance. French patio doors both swing, while the center-hinged and garden door styles have one fixed panel. The best part about these beautiful options? They&#;re easy to customize to match your home&#;s style.
Vinyl Patio Doors. Vinyl patio doors are built to last for years to come and stand up against severe weather in your area. Vinyl is less expensive than wood and fiberglass, but still has the energy efficiency benefits that wood and fiberglass have. Vinyl patio doors also come in a wide variety of colors to choose from, including a woodgrain laminate that is designed to look like real wood.
Wood Patio Doors. Wood doors boast a stylish look and can be customized to any paint or stain color you choose. However, they are commonly more expensive than the other materials and require more upkeep to make them looking beautiful year after year.
Fiberglass Patio Doors. Fiberglass requires little to no maintenance, can weather outdoor elements and can be customized to blend effortlessly with the design of your residence. However, with its benefits comes a higher price. Fiberglass is the most expensive patio door material.
Aluminum Patio Doors. Aluminum is one of the least expensive materials to choose from, but it also has downsides. Because it is lightweight, aluminum is unable to retain heat or keep cool air inside as efficiently as other materials. So, you can expect your energy costs to increase with aluminum doors. They can also dent or scratch more easily.
Grid Styles Choose from a variety of grid styles for your patio doors such as colonial, diamond, perimeter and more.
Patio Door Hardware Customize your patio doors with hardware options like dark bronze, nickel, polished brass and many other options.

Beyond style, color and finishes, there are a couple other features to consider when selecting patio doors to outfit your home.
Impact resistant patio doors. If you live on or near a coast, you should explore using impact-resistant patio doors. You may also hear these doors referred to as coastal doors or hurricane doors.

So, what makes impact-resistant doors different? They feature a heavy, invisible plastic interlayer sandwiched between the glass panes. This interlayer helps prevent the glass from being punctured by flying debris. Under extreme conditions, the outer glass panes may shatter, but the interlayer will not break out of its frame, keeping the inside of your home safe.
ENERGY STAR-Certified doors. When products are ENERGY STAR-certified they have to meet certain criteria set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Appliances like your refrigerator and washer/dryer can be ENERGY STAR-certified, but so can the materials you use to build or improve your home, including exterior patio doors. We&#;re proud to be an ENERGY STAR partner and offer glass packages that meet the EPA&#;s criteria for each climate zone. With one of these packages, your door will deliver an additional level of thermal performance, which can reduce your home&#;s heating and cooling costs year round.

Selecting the Perfect Patio Door
The options are infinite when it comes to choosing your next patio door. From French doors to sliding doors and pocketing sliders to big, beautiful Bi-Folds you can choose the door that best fits your needs. However, with so many options it can be hard to narrow your choices. The decision ultimately comes down to your needs and your design preferences. Keep these tips in mind when shopping for doors.
Manage Space Constraints.
Consider what space you have to work with when thinking about installing new patio doors. While you may love the idea of doors that swing out (French doors and Bi-Fold doors), if they open out to a tight space such as a second floor balcony, you may want to choose a sliding door option to maximize the limited space.
Pick the Right Material.
When deciding on the right door, think carefully about what type of material suits your conditions. Wood doors are beautiful, but they require rigorous maintenance, especially in harsh weather conditions. Patio doors with low-maintenance aluminum cladding on the exterior and your choice of beautiful wood on the interior (where weather won&#;t affect the wood) are a great alternative. And of course, along with your needs you must consider your budget.
Consider Design.
When looking for the right patio door, remember to consider the architectural design of your home. Choose a door that complements your home&#;s aesthetics. For example, a pair of all wood French doors with multiple panes of glass would be charming, and a great architectural fit for a California Craftsman home. But those same doors would look completely out of place on a Mid-Century Modern home.
