A sliding patio door may not seem very exciting, but what you have to realize is your patio door is most likely the largest window in your home. At 6 feet wide and about 7 feet tall, the amount of glass alone is enormous. Why is this an issue? Because glass is heavy and can be the weakest link in the energy efficiency of a window or door.  And as any Des Plaines homeowner knows, unlike most windows that you open once in a while, your sliding glass door gets used constantly, especially in warmer months.

That is why a high quality patio door is of the utmost importance. A good quality door has the following characteristics:

• Strong frame and sashes to support the weight of the glass
• Heavy duty roller system for ease of operation and durability
• Tempered glass, in case of the old “glass is so clean, the door looks open” situation
• A high efficiency glass package that includes low-e, an energy efficient spacer, inert gas between panes, and possibly even triple glass- to prevent energy loss due to the large area of glass
• A secure locking system with multiple points of contact
• It should be made from a strong material that will support it’s weight and maintain it’s integrity
• Should be attractive and offer options that will match the inside and outside of your home decor
• Should be strong enough and durable enough to withstand heavy usage

It seems like a lot but there are some really excellent patio door systems available on the market.  We have researched, investigated, and tested some of the best and now carry what we believe to be the strongest, most durable, most energy efficient, and best looking patio doors available.
