What Are Sliding Patio Doors?
Looking for a sliding patio door installation or patio door replacement in the Canton or Akron, Ohio area? Sliding glass patio doors are an easy way to connect your indoor living space to an outdoor deck or patio. The large glass panels let in natural light and provide great ventilation. The roller and track system on a sliding glass door uses a smaller footprint than a hinged French door.
When open, the roller system tucks the panel in front of the fixed door. A hinged door in the open position needs more floor space than a sliding glass patio door. If you are searching for a local patio door installation contractor in Akron, Canton, or Northeast Ohio, call The Window Source of Akron-Canton at 330-497-1500.
The transition between inside and outside is smooth with easy-opening, horizontally sliding doors. Sliding glass doors have an unobstructed view whether open or closed. Grill options can be added to match your design style or the architectural style of your home. Hardware that is stylish, durable, and color-matched gives your door a customized look. All sliding glass patio doors from The Window Source come standard with color-coordinated handles. Choose brass, satin nickel, or oil-rubbed bronze to match your home.
Are there different types of Patio Doors?
Yes. Sliding glass patio doors come in different sizes and configurations. The Window Source premium sliding glass door is available in two-, three-, and four-panel configurations. All doors come standard with code-compliant tempered safety glass in all panes. Your new patio door features aluminum and steel reinforced vertical stiles for superior strength.
The operating panel rolls smoothly on dual oversized ball-bearing rollers on a stainless-steel roller track inside an extra-strong fiberglass threshold. Our sliding glass doors feature single, dual, or multi-point locking systems for security. Add a foot-operated secondary bolt for maximum security with ventilation.
To keep you comfortable through Ohio winters and summers, our doors offer a range of high-performance Low-E insulating glass options that meet the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient requirements. We will help you design the sliding glass patio door you have been looking for: beautiful, strong, durable, energy-efficient, and custom-made for your home.
