Access to outdoor light is crucial for most homeowners. Having the sun shining into your home will open up the space, creating the illusion of increased square footage. It also provides a less constricted indoor environment, and a pleasing view of your neighbourhood or yard. Windows get the job done nicely, but to maximize your access to outdoor light, consider installing sliding glass doors.
Style
A door and window in one, sliding glass doors can be designed to suite your unique taste, or compliment the current interior design of your home. In today’s world, almost everything is customizable. Just like a regular entry door, you can choose from a wide selection of styles and materials to get the most out of your new sliding door. From vinyl, to wood, to fibreglass, and everything in between, your new door can be styled any way you like.
Technical Design
Sliding glass doors are extremely durable, and fit to combat harsh weather and outdoor noise. With the option of multiple panes, your house will be protected against the cold winter air, while sealing the heat inside. For extra protection and energy efficiency, using low-emissive coating on the glass panes can block harmful UV rays in the summer and frigid winds in the winter. This will save you money on your monthly energy bills, and reduce your carbon footprint!
Customize & Accessorize
Further customize your sliding patio doors with add-ons and decorative accessories. Screen doors are great for allowing the passage of fresh air into your home, while controlling bugs and insects. To increase privacy, consider the use of curtains, blinds, or stained glass. Serving function and fashion, these options can add a stylistic elegance to your home while maximizing privacy and light control.
The addition of light in any home will open up the space, and create a freer, more inviting environment for those living there. Sliding glass doors are an excellent solution to problem houses that lack light, while providing an aesthetically pleasing entryway to your yard, patio or garden.
