What is one of the best places to laze away a gorgeous summer afternoon or early evening? Answer: your patio or deck. For many American homeowners, the deck or patio is a little slice of heaven. Unfortunately, many of those homeowners have patio doors that have outlived their usefulness and attractiveness. If you have a vinyl door, you’re not alone. Many people have them –but a fiberglass patio door might be a better bet!
We’d like to introduce you to some of the benefits of fiberglass doors, especially when compared to the vinyl variety. That way you can make an informed decision when it comes time to replace your existing patio or deck access.
Longer Lifespan
Fogged up glass, leaking air, and short-lived hardware –these problems are all typical for vinyl doors. Yes, vinyl is a cheaper option, but there’s a good reason for that –it’s cheap! The better investment will be fiberglass sliding doors for their significantly longer lifespan and higher end materials
More Style Options
Both your outdoor living space and your indoor décor are influenced by the style of your patio door. If you’re happy with limited color choices and cheap, bulky frames, it’s okay to stick with vinyl. However, fiberglass sliding doors come in many different colors and multiple styles–including French doors.
No More Foggy Windows
With vinyl doors, air and moisture from outside can infiltrate between the glass panes, which causes fogging. A beautiful outdoor living space can be cheapened by foggy vinyl patio windows. To prevent fogging, trust fiberglass!
No Leakage
With a vinyl frame, excess air can leak into your home. That’s just one of vinyl’s notorious flaws. On the other hand, just as with fiberglass windows, fiberglass doors form a tight seal. That means a more energy-efficient and draft-free home. You can save on heat and cooling bills by using fiberglass.
Smooth Operation
It’s frustrating when you try to slide your patio or deck door open only to have it stick. The cheap hardware and rollers on vinyl doors can make even a new door frustrating. The overall quality of a fiberglass door’s deluxe material means that it’s easy to open and close every single time
Lots of Glass
Are you a fan of natural light? The door frames for fiberglass models are stronger. This means that, rather than less glass and a bulky vinyl frame, you can have more glass thanks to the added strength. More glass means more light!
