6 Secrets About Patio Doors You Never Knew

Patio Doors are amazing products that sit in our homes. They are often overlooked because they sit at the back of the house. Patio doors aren’t just useful tools for us to use while coming and going from our house, they are pretty interesting too. So today we thought we’d cover some secret facts about patio doors not everybody may know.

Secret Fact #1

Patio Doors are the second most used exterior door in your home right behind your front door. This means this door is getting a lot of use on a day to day basis. With it being used so often, it’s a good idea to have a functional working door that locks securely and is easy to use.

Secret Fact #2

The average person waits 15+ years before they replace their patio door. This means the doors that they are living with are the doors that initially came with the house in most cases. Doors this old have lost most, if not all, of their energy efficiency and functionality. At Conservation Construction we would highly recommend if your door is this old to get it replaced asap.

Secret Fact #3

Patio Doors which are 20+ years old are not as safe as new patio doors. In some cases old patio door sashes could simply be lifted off their tracks and removed – even while the lock was engaged. New patio doors are engineered in a way that you cannot simply remove the door from the track. If you’re concerned about safety, it may be time to consider getting a new patio door.

Secret Fact #4

Patio doors are only as energy efficient as the gas and coatings placed in and on the glass. Patio doors which are old can have seal problems; which means all the energy saving gas which once sat between the panes has most likely dissipated. Advancements in Low-E coatings mean a new patio door can save you a ton on energy costs and prevent your floors and furniture from getting bleached. And, Conservation Construction’s patio doors also offer foam filled frames for even more energy efficiency!

Secret Fact #5

New patio doors are made to last longer and stay energy efficient longer than your previous patio door. At Conservation Construction we want your doors to last and last. That’s why we made changes to our rollers for easy slide operation. We also have custom hardware that locks easily and makes your home safer.
