There is nothing like spending time outside with your family over the summer. Outdoor dinners, relaxing on the deck, and hosting guests are great ways to spend warm summer days. This is made so much easier with a good patio door to get in and out of the home quickly. In this blog we are going to discuss the 5 best reasons to replace your patio door this summer.
A patio door is a great feature to have. It provides you with easy access to your deck, patio, or backyard. The larger opening provides more space for natural light to get in. It’s often one of those features you take for granted until something goes wrong with it.
Whether you have noticed issues with your patio door or it just may be time, here are 5 great reasons to replace your patio door this summer:
Growing Energy Costs
If you have an older patio door, the odds are it may not be as energy efficient as you want it to be. Over time, materials and seals can break down, creating gaps for air to get inside your home. Plus, today’s patio doors are designed and built with energy efficiency in mind. They use high performance glass, are air tight and help keep the outdoor air where it belongs – outside.
Functionality Issues
Does your patio door come off the track? Do you have trouble with the screen? Are the hinges corroded? There are many different factors that can lead to issues opening and closing the door. A new patio door can make these issues go away in an instant.
Poor Security Features
Are you concerned about the level of security your patio door provides? Is your door difficult to close? Many doors don’t have the security features found in modern designs. We can help you choose a patio door that has all the security features to make you feel safe and comfortable at home.
Bugs Are Getting In
No one wants bugs to get inside their home, but they do. One of the easiest places for them to get into your home is through an older patio door. Old weather stripping, dated tracks, and other issues create just enough space for bugs to get into your home.
You’re Renovating
If you are already renovating your home, why not upgrade your patio door while you’re at it? It’s really easy to include it in renovations if you are changing the room where it stands or if you are updating your windows or other doors in your home.
