Durability
Sliding glass doors tend to have a shorter lifespan than other door options due to being made out of fragile material like glass and lacking secure clasps like other options do. But with proper care and maintenance they can last years!
The top sliding glass patio doors Lexington SC are constructed of resilient materials designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and daily use. Wood doors can provide homeowners with a classic aesthetic while vinyl or aluminum options offer energy efficiency and longevity.

Aesthetics
Installing glass doors into their homes makes a statement about both indoor and outdoor living spaces, providing seamless connectivity. Modern doors like these frame natural light beautifully while framing views to their best advantage; plus there are numerous design options so homeowners can tailor them specifically to their homes.
Wooden patio doors are an excellent traditional choice. These classic doors complement most architectural styles while adding warmth and coziness to any home. Plus, there are various staining and finishing options so that your doors match up perfectly with your home decor!
Vinyl patio doors provide both style and durability in one package. Energy efficient, they can withstand North Carolina’s climate with ease while being budget-friendly options that don’t sacrifice quality or design – not to mention they come in various colors, finishes, and handle designs to fit into any home perfectly!
Energy Efficiency
Large glass panels of sliding doors allow a lot of light into your home, helping brighten it and reduce energy use – saving both money and resources in the process.
Insulated sliding doors can help reduce energy costs significantly. Our patio doors come equipped with dual internal/external weatherstripping, compression bulb seals, and closed-cell foam gaskets to offer protection from drafts. In addition, we provide LowE/Argon glazing options which are more effective at blocking heat transfer than single paned models.
Frame type and glazing combinations that meet ENERGY STAR qualifications can transform replacement slider windows into energy-saving ENERGY STAR compliant units, with lower U-value ratings than older doors to help cut heating and cooling bills. We can also install storm doors as extra protection for your new gliding doors – ProVia doors offer 20% thicker protection compared to industry standards!
Security
Sliding glass doors provide an elegant way to enjoy an indoor/outdoor lifestyle, but can present homeowners with security challenges they must address. Due to their design, sliding glass doors can be more vulnerable than other doors for break-ins; fortunately, there are multiple easy ways to protect this type of door.
Locks that come standard on sliding glass doors tend to be relatively basic, providing little deterrence against criminals. This may be partially because such doors often remain hidden from view, giving intruders plenty of opportunity and cover to break in without being noticed.
Tempered glass doors can be broken easily, making it easy for criminals to gain entry through an exposed door track. One way to improve security is installing a metal bar in the track – this makes jimmying open much more difficult and alerts you with either an alarm sounding off or a message being sent directly to your phone when something changes with your doors. Also consider installing door sensors as part of a home security system; these monitors will notify you if something tampers with them and notify you as well as alarm sound off or notifying alertings directly when anything tampered with by sounding an alarm or sending notifications directly to your phone when your doors are tampered with or even remotely alerting you via home security cameras installed within them!
