Looking to beat the St. Louis summer heat in your patio? Create a smooth access from the inside of your home to your outdoor area with stylish and durable patio doors. To help you choose the right door for your patio, Renewal by Andersen® of St. Louis suggests the following steps:
Select a Style
There are many styles to choose from when it comes to patio doors. One of the most commonly used designs is sliding doors. These are large glass panes fixed on a frame. The panels glide left or right along the track. Sliding glass doors are ideal space savers because of their orientation. With this style, you won’t have to worry about any indoor or outdoor furniture or décor blocking the doorway.
Swinging patio doors are also popular options today. Most homes use hinged French doors because of their elegance and class. When you choose swinging doors, always allow appropriate space for opening.
