Sliding Patio Doors Provide Better Home Access
Sliding patio doors are a necessity when planning the entry from the outdoor patio or garden into the home. Sliding doors offer several advantages over traditional hinged doors, one example is they have a large screen to cover the opening to allow better air flow in the home as well as provide easier access in and out.
They also allow in considerably more light than traditional double hung windows and with the right dressings, can add the appearance of more room to an area in the home. There are various types of blinds or curtains specifically designed for sliding glass doors. A common window treatment is vertical blinds which can allow in as much or as little light as desired.
One caution when using sliding patio doors is to make sure they are secured at night and when not at home. The lock on the door is not enough, additional securing is necessary. Using a dowel rod, at least three-fourths of an inch in diameter laid in the bottom track of the moving half of the door, will prevent unwanted access from the outside.
Choosing Door To Match The House
Sliding patio doors are available in a variety of trim choices such as aluminum or wood. The door itself will obviously be different, but with the right trim work it can be made to look like a nice set of french patio doors that was planned from the beginning rather than as an afterthought.
The only complaint you may have about your new sliding patio doors will be keeping it free of fingerprints or pawprints. There are several good brands of excellent glass cleaners that don't leave streaks and take of those greasy handprints. If the sun hits the door, every little speck of dust will show, but smears from outside dirt and inside hands can make them very unattractive. Installing patio door blinds may help this situation.
The vacuum edge tool should be used at least once a week to prevent dirt or debris from building up. Porper care and cleaning of the door tracks and wheels can add years to a smooth moving sliding door.
