Why the Type of Glass Matters When It Comes to Sliding Doors

Modern architectural design often favors the extensive use of glass for homes. This trend can create a brighter and warmer living space and help reduce your energy expenses. Sliding doors are a great addition to your home when you are looking for a way to make your home thermally efficient. That said, be cautious about the type of glass that will be used for this door style.

Renewal by Andersen® of Montana, a trusted door replacement company, discusses the importance of your sliding door’s glass to its performance.

Energy Efficiency

The bare, uncoated glass of your sliding doors allows unfiltered heat in your home. This can lead to temperature rise in interior space, which can push your HVAC units to work double. Moreover, harsh ultraviolet rays entering through your doors can also fade your drapes, art and other furnishings.

Fortunately, Renewal by Andersen offers advanced glass packages to help eliminate these problems. Our standard glass package, the High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, is 45% more energy-efficient in summer and 56% more energy-efficient in winter. This glass option is also suitable for homes in seasonal climates where heating and cooling costs are a concern.

A little glass upgrade won’t also hurt your window replacement. In addition to our standard glass package, we also use High-Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass for better heat protection. This type of glass is 70% more energy-efficient in summer and 45% more energy-efficient in winter. It also prevents up to 95% of UV rays from heating up your home.

Viewing Area

As our sliding doors come with cutting-edge glass packages, you won’t have to cover them when the sun is up. You can allow daylight into your home while enjoying the stunning outdoor view.

When replacing your patio doors, turn to a premier window company like Renewal by Andersen of Montana. We follow a strict installation procedure to guarantee the success of this home improvement project. Call us today at (406) 259-3944 to learn more about our products and services.
