Benefits of Adding a Patio Door

A patio door can boost your property value by as much as 10%. The Cost vs. Value Report has found that deck additions can provide a 68% – 82% return on investment. This addition might seem like a minor upgrade, but it can have a revolutionary impact on your lifestyle and home’s beauty. A sparkling new patio door will add more than mere aesthetics, though. Its practical elements are equally impressive.

Enhanced Home Value

Exterior fenestration upgrades can recoup two thirds of their installation costs in property value alone. They add a significant chunk to your home’s resale value, particularly if you choose the most profitable designs. French and sliding patio doors might come at a higher cost, but their return on investment performs particularly well in the marketplace. They’ll benefit you enormously when you finally decide to sell your home, so they’re the perfect remodeling option prior to a resale.

The practical performance of your patio doors will add even more to your ROI. Luxurious, modern glass door installations with full-length glazing and aluminum frames seem to be more profitable than other styles. As an example, a modern $27,000 patio replacement can recoup 42%, offering a resale value of over $10,000.

If you’re adding a patio to your new installation, you could benefit from an ROI of up to 75%. Paver patios are the high performers in this space. They have a higher ROI than asphalt and concrete decks.

Increased Natural Light

Natural light is Mother Nature’s most profitable addition to your home, but you need features like patio doors to take advantage of it fully. Glass patio doors are a simple, inexpensive way to boost your interior sunlight, making your entire home more appealing to buyers, evaluators, and visitors. The light from floor-to-ceiling patio doors will make your home seem exponentially bigger while giving your mood extra bounce.

A sunny space is healthier, to boot. It has a positive impact on both your mental and physical health, boosting your serenity while adding to your comfort on chilly winter days. Natural light activates the parts of the brain that promote cognitive performance and alertness, so it’ll even give you a more productive workday. Sunlight can also help you sleep like a baby by regulating your circadian rhythms—a crucial balance that’s an imperative part of your mental health.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Energy-efficient patio doors can improve the thermal resistance of your walls, reducing heat transfer so that your HVAC costs can be reduced. Modern window and door technologies are more energy-efficient than ever before. Triple glazing has finally become a pocket-friendly, customizable option for middle-income families. Modern designs no longer need extra width, so triple-pane glass can, at last, be combined with most frames.

Similarly, low emissivity coatings reduce heat intrusion during summer, helping your air conditioner to achieve the right temperatures without using excess electricity. They reflect both infrared and UV light, keeping the midday heat outside during summer and inside during winter.

You get the best of both worlds. A premium glass-and-aluminum build can keep your indoor temperature stable so you can cut back on your over-reliance on expensive climate control systems.

Improvements in sealing technologies add to those insulating effects, ramping up your U-factor through composites that reduce thermal expansion and contraction with temperature swings. This keeps your seal as tight as possible, limiting air and pollution infiltration. Dual perimeter seals are another energy-efficient innovation that seals the gap between your patio door and frame.

Better Security

Today’s premium patio doors offer more than just weather resistance. They’re now offered in steel, industrial designs with safety glass and sophisticated multi-point locking systems. Add anti-lift blocks to the mix, and you’ll make life a lot harder for burglars. Sliding patio doors also slide easily along a track, so they’re easy to operate. If your home has disabled residents, this gives them easy access to your property.

Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living

Patio doors give your home a seamless barrier between indoor and outdoor areas. They revolutionize your lifestyle, so you can finally host the family events and parties you’ve always dreamed of. The sheer pleasure of an expanded living space with extra fresh air is sure to reduce your screen time.

By inviting nature indoors, you’re adding to your serenity and creating a new way to enhance your outdoor dining experience. When the sun’s out and the blossoms are blooming, you no longer have a wall separating you from an exquisite season.

Even the best paintings can’t compete with the beauty of a well-landscaped garden. Glass patio doors blend in and outdoor space, adding to the aesthetic appeal of your interior. They create a glass “wall” that makes your architecture look more expansive and attractive.

Improved Ventilation

When you think of pollution, outdoor toxins probably spring to mind, but indoor fumes are far more widespread. Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, where pollutants are becoming increasingly severe. Furniture, care products, pesticides, and building materials invite carbon monoxide, lead, and volatile organic compounds into your living space.

The EPA has found that many of these pollutants are two to five times more severe indoors. Ventilation is a simple and inexpensive way to improve your air quality and health. It has the added benefit of reducing your indoor humidity, so it can reduce mold levels and dry rot.

Patio doors bathe your property in sunlight while providing unobscured views of your landscaping. They change the way you exist in your space while keeping your home impervious to the weather outside.

Thanks to new door and window innovations, you’ll be able to access a huge range of designs. Even triple pane glass can offer easy, lightweight operation while boosting your indoor comfort. It’s become slimmer than ever, so you can finally customize your patio without sacrificing energy efficiency. A patio makes a big statement that cannot be ignored. Your dream house is just a small investment away.
