Designing the Best Patio Door for Your Home Part 1

Your patio doors can serve as a highlight to your patio’s design. Renewal by Andersen® of Montana, the leading replacement window and patio door expert, can offer you a highly-customizable patio door that will make your home look great. In addition, we can provide you with replacement windows that will boost your patio’s appeal even further. For the first part of this two-part series, we’ll focus on the windows. Learn more here:

• Transom Windows – Transom windows are the rectangular windows that are set above your patio door. They are a classic option that makes a patio door look more elegant and refined. They also make the space leading to your patio feel more open because they provide plenty of natural light from their high position. Transom windows will look great when clear or with simple grilles. This understated design detail can make a space feel welcoming.

• Circular and Half Circle Windows – We manufacture all sorts of windows from casement windows to custom specialty windows like these. You can place circular windows next your patio door, or place a half circle window directly on top of the door. These window types make your patio door look more dramatic and noticeable. For even more contrast, you can also create a custom grille pattern for these windows.

• Picture Windows – We manufacture our patio doors with large glass areas, so pairing them with several symmetrical picture windows can create a stunning window wall effect. This style works great as long as the grilles or lack of grilles match between the picture windows and the patio door. Make sure to use matching interior finishes and trim for the windows and patio door as well. We suggest using bright white for a classic look.

These are just a few of the possible design ideas you can try with our custom windows and patio doors. During our initial meeting, our representative will discuss other ideas that will make your home more beautiful.
