Are New Patio Doors Energy Efficient?
It’s not a question of “are sliding glass doors energy-efficient,” because the insulating properties of new doors are all energy efficient.

Insulation Properties
What makes new patio doors so insulating? There are several factors actually. The first is a gas which is pumped between the panes. At Conservation Construction we use a Argon Gas mixture. This mixture is denser than air and sits between the panes for life creating a protective insulating barrier between the outside and inside air. This mixture insulates better than air and is a key element in keeping your doors energy efficient.
UV Protection
Another insulating factor to our doors is their ability to reflect light. We use a specialty coating Called Low-E Glass Coating which is placed on the glass. This coating, which is nearly invisible to the naked eye, bounces radiant heat back outward where it belongs. That’s because the mixture has 4 layers of protection which bounce harmful UV rays back outside. Not only will your home be a more stable temperature all year long, but you will not have to deal with bleached floors or furniture any longer.

Foam Filled Frames
The last insulating factor is that we fill our frames with foam. This foam creates another solid barrier of protection against outside temperatures. They are manufactured with the glass to ensure top protection against unwanted air infiltration.
Together
It’s all of these factors working together that make a switch to new patio doors so insulating and energy efficient for you.
