Sliding glass doors allow natural light to brighten a living space while connecting the indoors and outdoors. They can also add value to your property.
During your in-home consultation, Karoly will show you the many options and upgrades that are available for your new sliding glass door. Upgrades like grids, pet panels, and smart locks can increase your project cost.
Ventilation
Sliding glass doors offer wide-open vistas, enhancing indoor space with fresh, natural light. They also connect interior living areas with outdoor spaces, making them ideal for the Florida lifestyle.
Ventilating your home is essential for health and well-being, avoiding the buildup of stale, stagnant air. Sliding glass doors allow you to let in the refreshing breeze, cleansing your space of odors and germs.
Sliding glass doors are often combined with window treatments like shades to create a finished look and enhance functionality. For example, a pair of Duette shades with varying pleat sizes and opacities helps filter incoming light. They can even be operated using a Vertiglide operating system made specifically for vertical applications. These Hunter Douglas innovations are perfect for covering sliding glass doors.
Natural Light
Bringing natural light into your home through sliding glass doors can brighten living spaces and create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor space. It can also improve moods and regulate sleep patterns, reduce energy usage, and enhance the beauty of your home.
Sliding glass doors don’t require clearance space for door swings, making them perfect for homes with limited floor space. They are also easy to operate and provide unobstructed views of the outdoors. They can be installed with a variety of hardware and finish options to complement the aesthetic of your home’s architecture and interior decor.
For added design appeal, you can add a window treatment like Provenance Woven Woods, which diffuses light for a soft, neutral ambiance and offers a one-of-a-kind organic look that fits seamlessly with any room decor. You can even choose shutters for your sliding glass doors, which are durable and energy efficient.
Aesthetics
Sliding glass doors are an elegant addition to any home, adding value and increasing resale potential. Their wide-open vistas allow in natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere that can make spaces feel bigger and more spacious.
With a variety of hardware options and design features, sliding glass doors can be customized to fit any style preferences. Additionally, impact-rated replacement sliding glass doors can help protect your home from hurricane-force winds and intruders.
Unlike swinging doors, sliding glass doors slide on tracks, eliminating the need for clearance space. This makes them ideal for areas with limited space or those that need to accommodate furniture arrangements. A sleek and refined look complements modern homes, making them a great choice for new installations or door replacements.
Energy Efficiency
Sliding glass doors let sunlight flood interiors, brightening rooms and energize spaces. Sunlight helps the body absorb vital vitamins and nutrients. It also makes spaces feel fresher and more spacious. This can make a house more welcoming to potential buyers.
Homeowners can choose premium window treatments for their sliding glass doors, such as duette shades, that maximize views with minimal stackback and provide maximum energy efficiency. These versatile blinds come in a wide array of pleat sizes, colors, patterns and textures. They can even come in a dual-operable option that allows you to have two independently-controlled shades of varying opacities for additional light control.
Sliding glass doors are also a great way to protect the home during inclement weather. Upgrade your standard builder-grade sliding glass doors with impact rated sliding glass doors. These doors will stand up to hurricane winds and shield the interiors from flying debris.
