Fiberglass
Fiberglass is a versatile material that is resistant to corrosion, moisture and weather. It is also a great insulator and offers thermal and acoustic protection. It can be molded to resemble the appearance of different wood species and textures, making it an attractive alternative to traditional wooden doors.
Fiberglass-reinforced plastics (FRP) are composite materials consisting of a base polymer plastic resin and glass fiber reinforcements. Silica-based fiberglass is the most common reinforcing strand material. Other options include carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP).
Patio doors made of fiberglass offer a range of benefits, including durability and energy efficiency. They resist swelling and rotting, making them an excellent choice for coastal homes. They also insulate against cold and hot air, as well as drafts. Additionally, the frames can be repainted for easy maintenance.
Aluminum
Aluminum patio doors offer a beautiful upgrade to your home, with a wide range of color options. They also come with a screen door to keep out bugs and other critters. They’re easy to maintain, and they’re extremely durable. A professional can help you select the right size door for your space to avoid a disproportionate look.
A wood screen door is a popular option, but it requires frequent upkeep to keep the screen tight and prevent water damage (fig 1). Instead, consider installing an aluminum framed movable wall like NanaWall Systems’ NW Aluminum 840. This creates a seamless transition between three rectangles and allows the space to meld into one unified living area. Its streamlined frames increase daylighting and viewing area while its energy efficiency keeps utility bills low.
Steel
Steel double front doors are a popular choice for homeowners who want to add an element of security to their home’s design. They are available in a variety of styles and designs, and they can be customized to match the aesthetic preferences of each homeowner. They also require proper installation to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This includes carefully measuring the doorframe and following a step-by-step installation guide.
Steel doors are designed to withstand forced entry attempts and improve the security of your home. They are also insulated, which helps to reduce energy costs and create a more comfortable living environment. They also help to block out noise, creating a peaceful space for you and your family to enjoy.
Composite
Patio doors serve a dual purpose of connecting indoor living spaces with the outdoors. Their large glass panes allow natural light to flood the interior while providing unobstructed views of the garden or backyard. This seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces is ideal for social gatherings, family activities, or simply enjoying a quiet moment.
Modern patio doors are designed with energy efficiency in mind. They feature double or triple-pane insulated glass units and effective weatherstripping, which help in maintaining a comfortable temperature inside your home while saving on energy bills.
They are also customizable, offering options like coloonia, diamond, and perimeter grids to elevate the design. They are durable, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion, making them the perfect choice for Birmingham homes.
