Sliding doors and windows are more than just a pretty feature. In addition to looking great from both the inside and outside of your home, they offer many less obvious benefits that you and your family are guaranteed to enjoy for as long as you own your home.
Extra Natural Light
When you install a sliding glass door or window, you will have a wonderful new access to natural light. Traditional door options are made from heavy, dark materials that do not let the light in and actually visually suck light from the room. When you switch to the un-obscured glass paneling of a sliding door, the light can pour in.
Environmentally Friendly
Sliding doors and windows are surprisingly environmentally friendly. Because you will have so much more natural light, you will need to use electric lighting significantly less often in your home during the day, which will save energy. Because you can open the door only as much as you need, you can leave and enter your home without letting out more climate controlled air. With a screen, these doors and windows also make it easy to cool your home without the need for an air conditioner.
Create More Space
In addition to letting the light in, sliding doors and windows create more space within your home. It may seem like an optical illusion, but sliding doors will actually allow for more useable space. Unlike traditional hinged doors, sliding doors do not need additional space to swing open, which creates more space for you to use within your home. It may not feel like much in the abstract, but our customers have often expressed their surprise at how much more space they feel like they have.
Keep an Eye on the Kids
Sliding doors and windows make it easy for you to keep an eye on the kids — but with the bliss of not having to listen to the screaming and tomfoolery. Your new door or window will be insulated enough to block out that unpleasant noise and any other neighborhood noises that may have formerly made it into your home.
Multi-point Locking Systems
Most traditional windows only have one flimsy lock at best. Modern sliding fiberglass windows and doors have a locking system that engages in several different places to thwart intruders and keep your family and property safe.
