Patio Door Customization Tips to Keep in Mind

Patio doors provide a nice visual complement to your home’s exteriors while also offering a glimpse into its interior design. They also serve as a nice transition from your kitchen/living room to your patio and surrounding landscape. If you’re planning to get a custom patio door for your home, Renewal by Andersen® of Memphis shares a few helpful tips to keep in mind. As a top choice for patio door and window installation companies, we want what’s best for your home!

Patio Door Customization

Choose the Right Material

There are many different materials to choose from for your patio doors, and each has its unique benefits and drawbacks. Aluminum patio doors, for example, are incredibly inexpensive and lightweight compared to wood and vinyl. However, they’re also not effective in retaining indoor heat which can mean higher energy costs during the winter season.

If you’re looking for a material that’s a cut above the rest, professionals in energy efficient windows and doors will recommend getting Fibrex® patio doors. Fibrex material offers twice the strength and durability of vinyl but performs much better when exposed to different temperatures and weather conditions! This is because they’re made from 40 percent reclaimed wood fiber by weight and 60 percent reclaimed thermoplastic polymer. This material also reduces thermal transfer 700 times better than aluminum, so you can keep your monthly energy consumption low throughout the winter season!

Pick the Right Style

Naturally, you should get a patio door style that matches your home’s overall visual design. Typically, you’ll select either hinged French patio doors or sliding patio doors depending on your personal preference. If you’re not sure which to pick, we also offer sliding French patio doors that combine the best of both worlds. That means you get the traditional French patio door design along with the convenience offered by the sliding function!

"The men who came out were able to work with each other good and professional showing us how the job would start and how long it would take. While they were doing their job they saw that the windows sills were off balance and very diligent and made it repairable to place the new windows in they cleaned up the area where they were working and made it look like no one had been there. They were very polite."

"Renewal by Anderson replaced our windows about a week ago. It made our home look brand new! Absolutely beautiful product!!! All the staff were kind and professional. Jackie and his crew did the installation and we have never had such a professional job done on our home! Highly recommend this company!"

"I have purchased 16 Anderson windows and they are great. The windows are perfect but the installation was the best. It is a joy having these windows in my 1910 home."
