Lansing Patio Door FAQ

Should I replace my patio door?

There are a variety of questions in that one question. Are you worried about home security? Do you have an older, worn patio door? Is it inefficient at keeping in heat? Is it costing you more money on your energy bills? Is it rotting and unsightly? These are the questions you have to keep in mind when deciding. If the answer if yes to any or all of these questions, then yes, it may be time to install a new patio door.

What are traditional sliding doors?

Just as the name implies, sliding doors slide one into another to save on space while maintaining functionality. Certainly the most common patio doors found in medium sized homes across America, these are the quintessential patio doors that may even be in your home right now. While they are certainly cost effective and function properly, they aren't as sophisticated as newer, modern patio doors.

What are "hinged" doors?

Hinged doors, or French doors, or even hinged French doors are all synonyms for large, open, windowed double wooden doors that open from the center and swivel on hinges. The effect is incredibly aesthetically pleasing. And the functionality is unhindered as the amount of engineering that has gone into the style over time has actually made them incredibly airtight, saving you money on energy and heating costs. If anything, they perform better than your average modern doors, with all the functionality of a patio door added with the elegant open space that can only be found in French doors.
