Is it Time to Replace Your Patio Doors?

Patio doors are a great investment for any home. Not only do they extend your living space outwards, they’re stylish appearance adds aesthetic value to your home. These doors, however, will eventually require replacement and figuring out if it’s time is often more difficult than actually replacing it.

In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of Montana shares how to tell if it’s time to replace your patio doors.

The Doors are Getting Stuck

A patio door that gets stuck as you’re opening or closing it may need replacing soon – especially if they’re sliding doors. While ‘sticky’ doors are often easily addressed with a spot of cleaning, they may also get stuck due to mechanism damage; in the case of sliding doors, the rollers may have sustained irreparable damage.

Weather Damage

Adverse weather can also damage your doors, though it’s very rare for the mechanism and internal parts to be affected. Instead, rain, snow and excess sunlight may damage the frame. Damaged door frames aren’t just unsightly, they also affect long-term functionality.

Insulation Problems

Like windows, patio doors play a key role in the natural insulation and ventilation of your home. Drafts coming in from the door even when it’s closed are a warning sign that its weatherproofing is long gone and will require immediate replacement. Failure to replace doors with poor insulation can affect the overall comfort levels of your home on top of contributing to increased energy usage.

Reviews

"I highly recommend Renewal by Andersen. We were treated well and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The company kept in contact with me before, during, and after the installation and let me know what to expect. I'm in love with my new windows! I will be using this company again when we refinish our basement. "
