What Is A Sliding Glass Door?
A sliding glass door is usually considered a single unit consisting of two panel sections, one being fixed and one being mobile to slide open. These doors are designed to glide horizontally.

Yes. Most modern sliding glass doors are made of vinyl, including the ones we sell at Conservation Construction of Dallas. That’s because vinyl doesn’t expand and contract with the sun like old aluminum did. It’s better at protecting your home from the elements and preventing air infiltration. It doesn’t wear down in harsh sun, and keeps your home a more stable temperature all year long.
