If you love natural light – and who doesn’t? – you want to bring as much of it as you can into your home. That way, when it’s sunny out, you can let that sunlight stream through your kitchen, hallways, and living spaces.
Lots of elements can contribute to your home’s overall comfort and appeal, and a sliding patio door is no exception. From expanding your views of the outdoors to increasing your perceived space, here’s how sliding patio doors can help bring the outside into your home.
Brighten Up Your Space
If you’ve been disappointed with the lack of light that naturally floods your home, you will love the instant effect you will enjoy by installing sliding glass patio doors. Even in winter, this influx of natural light will enhance your mood, naturally heat up your interiors, and give you much-needed light to perform tasks by – without having to switch on the lights.
Expansive Viewing Area
Nothing brings joy quite as much as gazing outside with a cup of coffee as you ponder your day. Choosing an open design with high glass-to-frame ratio is a no-brainer. Our Marvin patio doors, for example, give you a more expansive viewing area so it’s easier to keep an eye on the kids or dogs out in the yard.
Infusion of Beauty to Your Interiors
You may think your home is charming and beautiful now…wait till you add a sliding patio door to really enhance its appeal. You won’t believe the difference, especially if you’ve always had a traditional door leading to the outside. Switching things up with sliders opens up a whole new world when it comes to aesthetics. Your rooms will look bigger, to be sure, plus you will enjoy additional viewing space.
Floor Space Savings
Generally, sliding patio doors have two panels: one remains stationary, while the other slides. Now you don’t need to worry about creating space for a swinging door upon entering and exiting. This is a big benefit, especially if you are limited on space, as swinging doors take up more floor space than you realize. Sliders provide more room within your livable space, so you can have more leeway for entertaining and relaxing.
Easier Entry and Exit
Sliding patio doors are simply easier to open and close, as they are designed to glide smoothly for a fast, seamless way to enter and exit – especially when you’re in a rush to get out to the pool, grab the mail, or mow the lawn. They’re easy for kids to operate too.
Energy Efficiency
When you pair your sliding patio doors with double-paned glass, you’re adding even more protection against harsh outdoor temperatures. Multiple panes save on energy bills due to the airtight seal, allowing you to pay less money for heating in winter and less money for cooling in summer.
More Ventilation
Sliders offer added ventilation through more infiltration of fresh air indoors. With screens, you can enjoy the cooling breeze without all the pesky bugs. Now you have the choice of closing your door all the way or partway to customize your ventilation level.
