Have you ever heard of kiln dried wood? Kiln drying isn't just for pottery. It's a treatment method that makes wood denser, stronger, and more durable. Many experts prefer kiln dried wooden doors over any other type of wood treatment.
Springs, cables, and other hardware work to counterbalance the door’s weight while lifting and closing the door. It’s important to understand that these components are all under extremely high tension and should never be tampered with.
For added security when selecting doors with glass panels, make sure that safety glass is used. Safety glass resists breaking and offers protection from intruders. In the event it does break, however, it does not shatter into shards, but rather into small, irregularly shaped beads.
Your doors are a reflection of your taste and style. With your patio doors, do you want full glass or panes? If you go with a grid, do you know what kind of grid you want? We can work with you to find the right style of glass and accessories to fit your style.
If you have an issue with condensation on your existing windows, replacement windows can solve that problem. Condensation occurs when water vapor reaches a surface that is cooler. Replacement windows that are energy efficient, and thus warmer, are less prone to condensation.
Some of the things to keep in mind when choosing the right type of replacement window glass are the climate in which you live, the color you want, the style, and your budget.
