light considerations when selecting patio doors
TAKE CONTROL OF THE LIGHT YOU LET INTO YOUR HOME

Gain control of your home’s comfort by selecting the right replacement patio doors for your renovation. Weather-sealed doors provide protection against the elements, sealing out drafts, while layers of insulated glass contribute to the energy efficiency of your home by reducing energy loss.

If your home has south-facing rooms, your patio door may attract plenty of sun year-round. Rooms facing west or east may experience low-angle sun in winter, spring and fall, making it bright and hot. Adding energy-efficient patio doors with extra high-efficiency forms of Low-E insulated glass can reduce the solar heat gain and filter in light that won’t damage your upholstery or furnishings.
