The most noticeable difference between French doors and sliding doors is the way they open. French doors open from the middle and both doors open inward or outward. Sliding doors open by sliding on a track system.

At Arch City Windows, we carry Pella, Anderson and WeatherShield doors. Sliding patio doors are available in many styles from each of these manufacturers.

The most energy-efficient sliding patio doors are those that are constructed from multi-pane glass and the frame built from wood, vinyl, aluminum or aluminum-clad wood.

Start by measuring the opening for the sliding patio door. Secondly, you will need to measure horizontally from one end of the door panel to the other, then you will measure vertically the height of the panels. It is necessary to know the width and height of the doors that are being replaced.

The best place to install a sliding patio door is in an area that is suitable for a large opening in an outer wall. This will create a beautiful view and feature to your home.
