Windows Design Dilemma

La Cantina style sliding doors

last year

We are replacing 2 sets of french doors in our family room and looking to replace with La Cantina style sliding doors. Do any other companies make these besides La Cantina? The other option would be to just paint the french doors, but I think adding sliders will open the room up a lot. Thoughts? Thanks!

Most all window companies make sliding doors. Is there a reason you are zoning in on La Cantina?

La Cantina does make sliding doors but are better known for "folding door panels". But again as millworkman mentions, there are a number of companies that make both.

Not that familiar with Blomberg with the newish (2014 approx) ownership. They used to be a good product from what I recall having been told. LaCantina I have not heard much about good, but being more of a west coast product that is somewhat to be expected as good reviews are not always available. Fleetwood is a solid product.

" Looking at wood clad products" Brickmould on a wood clad product is aluminum. Same material as the window frame. If you choose wood clad windows with brickmould, your builder/installer will not have to trim out the exterior of your windows, The aluminum brickmould is more expensive than wood trim but will not have to be painted. It is usually an aesthetic choice but most often wood trim is the choice. Also agree that the Marvin/La Cantina is much better choice especially if the pricing is close which is usually not the case with Lincoln vs. Marvin.

La Cantina told me they are experiencing 24 weeks for delivery" Most residential window and door companies are in that range these days. If they offer short lead times, be careful there is a reason. LaCantina's mixed reviews are well deserved from what I know.
