Want convenient access to the outdoors? Need extra natural light in your home? Summer is here and one of the best upgrades you can make for your home is a new patio door.

Here are 5 things to consider before making your patio door purchase:

1. Know your budget.

Before you start picking out your favorite doors, determine your budget. The cost of patio doors can vary depending on details such as size, quality, and features.

2. Choose a style and design that fits your home and personality.

Choosing the right patio door has an equally big impact on both the interior and exterior appearance of your home.

3. Know the functionality and restrictions.

Sliding doors are great for condos and/or homes where there isn't much space around the door. If you're looking for a traditional look, keep in mind that hinged patio doors swing in or out, creating more of a challenge in tight spaces.

4. Know the material.

Believe it or not, materials matter when it comes to your patio door. Consider vinyl, fiberglass, and aluminum, all-weather materials that will never need painting.

  • Vinyl Patio Doors are low maintenance and great for retaining color due to the molding color process
  • Sliding Patio Doors are a great option because many of them have a screen that you can let the fresh air come, while keeping the bugs out
  • Swinging or French Patio Doors are so versatile and need room to open, so consider the furniture and other objects nearby
  • Folding Patio Doors are great for large spaces and can make a statement
  • Wood Patio Doors are very attractive, but are high maintenance and come with a price
  • Aluminum or Steel Patio Doors are durable and a cost-effective alternative to other materials, but are not as energy efficient
  • Fiberglass is a great material for patio doors because it's lightweight, durable and weather resistant
  • Glass Patio Doors: Low-E glass is an energy efficient option that helps lower your energy bills year round while preventing harmful UV rays to come in. Decorative glass will make your door pop and frosted glass for give you the added privacy you need.

How “air tight” should sliding glass patio door be?

I think there is an issue with my 20 year old standard sized builder grade sliding glass doors.

I think there has always been way too much outside noise coming in and I also smell exhaust fumes inside through the locked doors when landscapers are outside with gas powered leaf blowers and mowers. The noise leakage has been liveable all these years because it’s not a noisy area, but its still annoying whenever there is noise outside. If I can smell exhaust fumes, I assume there is also air leakage increasing energy bills.


I got a rough quote over the phone of around $2500 to replace the doors, but I want to make sure that would actually solve the problem so the problem doesn’t continue even with new doors.
