Custom Installation of Sliding Glass Doors
Perhaps no single architectural feature is more emblematic of Western living than the sliding glass door. For more than 50 years, sliding glass doors have opened our homes to generous natural light and views, simultaneously giving us easy connections with decks, patios, and gardens.
A sliding glass door is a great addition to let more light and air in or as eye catching access to a patio or garden. Before you contract out a specialist to install the sliding glass doors make sure you choose the site for your new door. Inspect both sides of the wall and from the attic and basement to make sure there are no heating ducts or other hidden problems with the site. Try to avoid all electrical and plumbing fixtures.
What are your options?
Sliding doors can come in a variety of sizes. In addition to the standard 6-foot, 8-inch height, they’re made 6 feet, 11 inches tall or even 8 feet tall. You can also buy three- or four-door-wide configurations that are as wide as 16 feet total. And sliders can be made with one fixed panel and one sliding panel, or with both panels sliding. Most manufacturers extend your design options by providing matching rectangular and roundhead transom windows.
