Design and create the ultimate patio
If you have yet to build an outdoor platform, this should be a priority and a local landscape contractor is more than capable of designing and building a solid terrace that you and your family can enjoy. A wide range of materials from natural stone to hardwood timber decking are available; choose a material that blends with the property and at the same time, you can factor in the sliding door design and have the doors installed before building the patio.
Double or triple glazing
Wherever you live in the US, you will want a minimum of double glazing, if not triple glazed units for the best sound and thermal insulation. Once you install double glazing, you can forget about condensation forming in the interior glass, which is due to the fact that the inner and outer surfaces never touch.
Building work
A typical dining room would have a couple of windows that look out to the back garden; if you wish to replace them with a sliding patio door unit, you have to provide support in the form of a lintel. Once the windows are removed, the excess brickwork is removed and new plaster edges are created. The doors are fabricated in the factory and at this stage, the units are transported to the site and the frame is fitted. The frame is levelled and affixed with numerous timber blocks that can be screwed into place, then the glass panels are fitted and with a smooth tracking, the two inner units slide outwards with the outer sections fixed.
Take the first step by making contact with a leading US supplier of contemporary sliding patio doors and they will send a designer to your home.
