Sliding glass patio doors are a beautiful addition to any home, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits for your family. Whether your current patio door is worn and breaking or merely out of style, installing modern sliding glass patio doors will allow you to make the most of your outdoor space as well as your living room. Here are just a few of the benefits that come along with having sliding glass doors from Golden Glass.

Energy Efficiency

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that sliding glass doors actually have energy efficiency benefits. Since they allow more light into the home, it reduces your electricity usage. The tempered glass also insulates your home well throughout every season, further lowering your energy bill as you reduce your HVAC use. Not only does this have environmental benefits, but it also helps your wallet and allows you to invest that money into other aspects of your home.

Air Flow

If you have sliding glass doors in your living space, you can welcome a refreshing breeze into your home anytime. You can clear out your stuffy home during the summer or create a comfortable summer breeze during an evening dinner party. Sliding glass patio doors are incredibly versatile and can make your home more comfortable and enjoyable for your family and guests.

Natural Light

Studies have shown a direct correlation between a lack of exposure to sunlight and depression. Letting natural light flood into your living space through spacious glass patio doors can boost your mood and make you happier all year round. It also makes your home more welcoming and overall more enjoyable. Not to mention, having more natural light will cut down your need for artificial lighting and reduce your energy bills.

More Space

Sliding glass patio doors save more space versus traditional, hinged patio doors that pull open and closed. Since they run on a track, you don’t have to place furniture in a way that leaves space for them to swing open, maximizing usable space in your living room. The floor-to-ceiling glass also makes the room look larger in much the same way that a mirror does. 

Durability

Despite being made of glass, sliding patio doors are not at all fragile. There are many different materials from which sliding glass doors can be made, all of them created to be as durable and long-lasting as possible. Fiberglass is a popular choice among homeowners because it’s so hard-wearing and can resist atmospheric changes. Before having your sliding glass patio doors installed, ask your glazing contractor which material is best for your needs.
