A Comprehensive Guide To Your Replacement
Patio Door Options In Lewes, DE
To Enhance Your View Of The Outdoors,
GoGlass Has You Covered
Few home features bring as much light and ambiance to your Lewes, DE home as replacement patio doors. Beautiful, spacious doors that are easy to operate and let in a lot of natural light are a stunning addition that makes any home feel relaxing.
On the flip side, shabby – or nonexistent – patio doors are sure to make your home feel cramped and dreary, no matter how beautiful the rest of your home is. But once you’ve decided to replace your patio doors, there’s another consideration to make: what kind of replacement patio doors you want for your home.
Do you prefer the elegance of 4-lite sliding doors that make you feel like you’re outdoors? Or do you prefer something more understated, like simple 2-lite sliding doors? Maybe you’re even considering a transom to match your high ceilings.
No matter which style best matches your home, GoGlass is here for you when you need us. Our superior glass replacement services are among the most trusted in the Delmarva peninsula area, and it’s not hard to see why.
We’ve compiled this helpful guide for homeowners considering patio doors to help you choose the perfect doors for your homes.
Which Material Do You Want For Your
Replacement Patio Doors?
Here, we’re not just talking about the glass. Your patio door frame is just as important, as no one wants a flimsy frame that will warp and lose its efficacy over time. The type of frame you choose will depend on your home’s style, budget, and other needs.
At GoGlass, we offer several high-quality door frame materials that are guaranteed to last.
Wood
Nothing beats the rustic, classic look of wood. If your home or siding has wood accents, a wood frame for your replacement patio doors is sure to make them stand out.
Keep in mind, however, that wood usually requires more maintenance and upkeep than other materials.
Vinyl
Vinyl is popular for a reason – it’s lightweight, durable, affordable, and customizable. If you want your patio doors to pop, you can choose from many colors and styles for your vinyl frame.
Aluminum
Aluminum is sleek, lightweight, and built to last. Our aluminum replacement patio doors are resistant to corrosion, meaning no amount of rain, snow, or moisture will cause them to rust. Choose aluminum replacement patio doors to give your home a sleek, minimalist look.
Fiberglass
There’s a reason fiberglass patio door frames are popular. They’re durable, affordable, and versatile, and they come in a range of colors and styles.
Safety First: Considering The Best Safety Features
For Your Sliding Patio Door Replacement
Your sliding glass doors serve an important purpose: to let in a lot of natural light, beautify your home, and to protect your home’s interior from whatever hazards may be outside.
Impact-Resistant Glass
Features such as impact-resistant glass are vital in the Delmarva peninsula when hurricane-strength winds and rain can batter homes. Protecting your home with impact-resistance glass gives you one less thing to worry about during severe weather.
Impact-resistant glass also serves to decrease the risk of break-ins. Large panels of glass may seem easy to break into, but not with impact-resistant glass by GoGlass.
Retractable Screens Or Blinds
You love the view of your backyard through your gorgeous patio doors. However, once the sun has set, you don’t want anyone on the street to be able to see into your home. That’s when retractable screens and in-glass blinds come into play.
Impact-resistant glass also decreases the risk of break-ins. Large panels of glass may seem easy to break into, but not with impact-resistant glass by GoGlass.
Save Money On Power Bills With Ultimate Energy Efficiency
Upgrade your patio door replacements with low-E glass coating. Low-E, which stands for low emissivity, prevents heat transference. This means your home won’t overheat during the summer or lose heat during the winter.
Don’t you want to sit in front of your sliding patio doors and enjoy the view without feeling the full heat of the sun’s rays? You can thank low-E glass coating for that.
You’ll also feel the impact low-E coating has on your wallet. Because low-E glass coating prevents heat transference, you’ll waste less energy and save more money on your energy bills.
The Size Of Your Replacement Patio Doors
The size of your patio doors will depend on your tastes and the size of your home. If you have a smaller porch and entrance to your backyard, a simple 2-lite door (with two panes of door glass) is usually sufficient.
If you have a larger home and want to enjoy a more panoramic view of your backyard, our spacious 4-lite options will do the trick. We also offer transoms above your patio doors to make your patio doors look more proportionate if you have high ceilings.
At GoGlass, we’ll help you find the best-size replacement patio door for your home. We offer 2-lite, 3-lite, and 4-lite sliding glass doors and three transom options for 2-lite doors: regular, elliptical, and half-round.
No matter what size, frame, or style you want for your replacement patio doors, there’s no better choice than GoGlass. For years, we’ve been the Delmarva peninsula’s first choice for glass replacement needs.
