Sliding glass doors FAQ

Are sliding glass doors a type of patio door?

Yes. Sliding doors operate by moving on a series of rollers, making them relatively simple to operate. They traditionally open onto a deck or patio, though builders and architects are increasingly placing them in different parts of the home.

Do sliding glass doors come in different sizes?

Yes. Although two- and three-panel models are most common, there are also configurations up to eight-panel available. And some companies manufacture “moving glass walls,” which are extremely large sliding glass doors that stretch from the floor to the ceiling.

What are the advantages of a sliding glass door?

There are several advantages to sliding doors. First of all, they offer tremendous views to the outside. They also bring more natural light into your space, which is ideal for your mental and physical health.

Are sliding glass doors good for entertaining?

Yes. Sliding doors – particularly larger ones – are capable of merging the interior with the exterior in a way that traditional swinging doors can’t match. If your sliding doors look out onto a deck or courtyard, you can open them on a nice day and practically double your entertainment space.

Are sliding glass doors secure?

Absolutely. Today’s sliding doors come standard with locks that are as secure as those on a swinging door. Furthermore, most manufacturers offer upgrades on their lock systems that make the sliding doors even more secure.
