Standard Versus High-Quality Sliding Glass Doors – Aluminum

There are several important considerations when purchasing sliding glass patio doors for your home. Understanding the difference in quality will help a homeowner select the best option for them.

The first important characteristic is the hardware found in any particular door. Less expensive sliding door options will feature alloys in the rolling mechanisms found at the bottom of the door. Alloys rust easily, which could make opening and closing doors difficult after a few years. This is particularly the case when the home is located close to the ocean.

For this reason, higher quality coastal properties will use stainless steel hardware throughout the door to mitigate the damages caused by saltwater corrosion. Due to the added expense, doors with stainless steel rollers and locking mechanisms will cost more than sliding patio doors with alloys.

Trusted Protection from Hurricanes

Beyond hardware, other characteristics can affect the performance of sliding glass doors. Doors constructed with thicker glass usually offer longer warranties and improved protection against Florida storms.

In addition, structural reinforcements in the middle of the door improve the products ability to with stand higher wind loads. These reinforced doors are typically used in hi rises and condos which have higher code requirements.

Finally, sill risers are an important component that influences the overall ability of sliding doors to withstand high exterior and interior pressure. They can come up as much as 4″ and help protect the home from sideways wind driven rain that can pool inside the track as well as strengthen the door frame.

Glass Options For Sliding Doors

Serving Sarasota and Charlotte counties

Thickness

There are different glass thickness options as well as glass treatments available for sliding glass doors. For standard size glass panels, 7/16″ HS glass is the less expensive option found with basic products. A higher quality product or oversized panels will have 9/16″ SGP glass as standard.

Insulation

In order to cool the home from the heat gain natural light brings, the glass can be insulated impact helping block the transfer of heat and help reduce noise transfer as well.

Tinting

To further reduce heat gain and improve energy efficiency, a treatment like LoE 366 or a tint can be applied to the glass as well. Apart from the extra security sliding patio impact doors can provide, energy efficient improvements are an important benefit to consider when choosing the features of your sliding doors.
