Optimizing Patio Doors for Style and Efficiency

Patio doors are a fantastic way to bring natural light and a feeling of spaciousness into your home. But with all that glass, you might wonder if they can also be energy efficient. Yes, we can achieve both style and energy savings by considering a few key factors.
Frame: The frame that surrounds the glass panels significantly impacts energy efficiency. We recommend exploring options like fiberglass or vinyl (uPVC). These materials are naturally better insulators than traditional aluminum frames, reducing heat transfer in both summer and winter.
Glass: Double-glazed or even triple-glazed patio doors significantly improve insulation. These panes act like a thermal barrier by trapping air between them, keeping your home comfortable year-round. Additionally, consider low-emissivity (Low-E) glass coatings. These coatings reflect heat back inside during winter and outwards in summer, providing further energy savings.
Installation: Proper installation is crucial for optimal energy efficiency. Even the most energy-efficient patio door won’t perform well if there are gaps around the frame. We recommend working with qualified professionals who ensure a tight seal and minimize air leakage.
Door Style: Sliding patio doors generally offer better air sealing compared to hinged French doors. However, French doors can still be energy-efficient with high-quality materials and proper installation.

Our Patio Door Installation Process

Installing a patio door that performs well and saves energy requires a meticulous approach. Here’s what you can expect when we handle the project. First, we’ll work closely with you to discuss measurements, finalize the door’s style and materials, and address any questions you might have. We take pride in keeping your home clean throughout the process, so our team will carefully lay down protective coverings to safeguard your furniture and flooring.
Next comes preparing the opening. We’ll meticulously check the existing space to ensure its level and plumb. In some cases, adjustments like framing or reinforcing the opening might be necessary for optimal support of the new patio door. Once the opening is ready, we’ll carefully maneuver the patio door unit into its place. Depending on the size and weight, this step might involve multiple team members for safe and controlled placement.
For long-term performance, we’ll strategically install flashing materials around the frame to act as a barrier against water leaks. Gaps between the frame and the wall opening will be filled with insulation to improve thermal performance and reduce energy costs. Finally, we’ll apply sealant (caulk) around the frame, both inside and outside, to create a weatherproof barrier.
Before leaving your home, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection of the installed door to ensure everything is functioning properly, level, plumb, and meticulously sealed. Our team will then thoroughly clean up the work area, remove any leftover debris, and haul away any materials no longer needed.
