Old Sliding Glass Doors
It’s said that 30% of energy is lost through old home windows. Did you know you could be losing just as much when you choose to keep that old sliding glass door? That’s because if your old sliding glass door doesn’t fit, slide, or has gapping issues, air from the outside could come sweeping in and take most of the energy efficiency out with it. So it might not just be about your patio door sliding any longer (which is a huge issue in and of itself) but it may be that it just needs to get replaced.
Wheel and Traction Memory
New Patio Doors have better wheels and tracks to prevent “memory” as they slide over and over. What does memory mean when it comes to tracks on a patio door? This just means that new patio doors resist the wheels and weight of the door so they don’t have indents where the wheels slide. What this means for you is a door that slides easily for life.
