Can you recommend a sliding patio door?
Comments (4)Pchow, I considered Pella, Andersen, Therma-Tru, and Jeld-Wen. Rejected T-T because the interior was vinyl. Rejected J-W for being all wood (we live in a humid climate and have lots of trees). Both Andersen & Pella have wooden interiors and clad exteriors. Both look solid and open and close with ease. Ended up picking the Andersen over the Pella because it came in a 9'9" four panel model, where the middle two panels open. That seemed more convenient than the Pella's three panel door....See MoreSmooth Operating Sliding Door Recommendation
Comments (7)We had a similar situation and went with outward opening french doors. Only potential issue is using a screen (since they open outward, this is not a problem for us). This is a Marvin Integrity with wood interior. We have the same size slider in the basement. Very smooth, but it is heavy. You can save a fair amount of money going with a 96" tall door vs using a transom. Add a cottage grill for the same effect....See MoreSliding Door/Hinged Patio Door? (etc)
Comments (33)I spot your sister's trio of art next to your back door! They look fantastic there! (Did I suggest that? Or did I just think that was the right spot for them?) I still see Timothy's post. Maybe they vetted him and he proved he wasn't a spammer. That would be nice. We've had a rash of new posters who've come in and done nothing more than pitch a link on multiple threads. I reported on spammer who did that about a week back and the posts are now gone....See MoreReplacing a ~96"x80" sliding glass patio door with swinging glass door
Comments (3)I agree with Fori, you are talking to the wrong sales people. For years early in my career, seems almost all I did was change out sliders to french doors. For your opening size and situation, you could use several combinations of door and sidelight combos. For example, a pair of 32" swinging french, with a 32" fixed sidelight. If your rough opening won't accept that, perhaps a 30" sidelight and/or 30" doors....See Moretoddinmn
