Sliding glass doors, also known as sliding patio doors, are a popular choice for homes. They offer a wide open view and allow natural light to flood the home.
Like other entry points into the home, sliding doors can be targeted by thieves. However, they can be protected by adding door sensors to the home security system.
1. Low Maintenance
Sliding glass doors are easy to maintain and energy efficient. They are great insulators and can keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In addition, they provide natural light which enhances ventilation and airflow in the house.
Our sliding patio door services are designed to make your home look beautiful, provide meaningful insulation, and offer reliable security. We use high-quality materials and expert installation to create a beautiful and functional new door that will be a welcome addition to your home.
We also offer a wide range of windows to match your sliding glass doors. Bi-fold and French doors offer stylish visual character, while awning windows allow for maximum daylight penetration. In addition, we install impact sliding doors that are built to resist the wind, rain and flying debris caused by severe storms and hurricanes. These doors meet stringent Florida building codes and are designed to protect your family from a dangerous situation.
2. Energy Efficient
Sliding glass doors are designed to allow natural light into your living areas, making them a beautiful addition to any home. They’re also energy efficient, providing significant insulation that lowers your energy bills. If you want to boost your energy efficiency even further, consider adding weatherstripping to your doors.
Keeping your sliding glass doors clean is simple with the right supplies. Use a microfiber cloth or vacuum with brush attachment to remove any debris from the surface and tracks. Wipe down with an all-purpose cleaner or a homemade vinegar solution (avoid ammonia-based solutions on tinted windows). Then, use a squeegee to remove excess water and prevent streaking.
Morgan Exteriors offers a wide selection of door systems that improve natural light and ventilation, including bi-fold doors that fold open or closed for efficient airflow, and French doors that add distinguished style to your home’s interior. We can also install awning and tubular skylights for additional sunlight penetration.
3. Easy to Clean
A sliding door that won’t slide is more than an annoyance; it can be a safety hazard, particularly for kids and seniors. To help your doors glide smoothly, start by vacuuming the track to remove loose dirt and debris. This can be done regularly, especially after a shower. Using a squeegee to wipe down the glass will also keep it free of soap scum and mineral deposits.
You can also lubricate your tracks with oil. This will not only improve gliding, but will also help to reduce dirt buildup over time.
