Choosing Efficiency First

If you live in an area that has a lot of hurricanes and would like to install a sliding door, you should consider choosing a hurricane sliding door instead of a traditional sliding door. This will offer protection from the strong winds and rain if you have a hurricane. Below is information about these sliding doors and the advantages of using them. 

Hurricane Sliding Glass Door

There are sliding glass doors that are made with high-impact resistant glass, which are known as hurricane sliding doors. This type is made of laminated glass and has multiple layers making it much more durable and stronger against high winds and storms. If these doors do break, they will only shatter and stay in place. This means they will not fly from the window and into your home. 

With traditional glass, it will break into large shards and fly inside your home. This can cause injury or even death if someone is near the doors when the glass breaks. This will also cause a lot of damage to things inside your home. If any of the impact-resistant glass does fly into the home, it will only be small pieces that will not cause injury or damage. 

Hurricane Sliding Door Benefits

Hurricane sliding doors offer you many benefits. First, they are energy efficient because of the multiple panes of glass. Air will not escape out of the doors and air will not get inside your home. This can save you money on your monthly energy bills. 

These doors are also more durable because of the type of glass that is used. The glass makes the doors heavier in the frame, so they are more stable. This also makes them easier to open and close. These doors allow natural light to get inside your home from outside because they are wider and taller than windows. You can also see out of the doors better which is even more beneficial if you have a patio, deck, etc. 

These doors are easier to clean when compared to windows. The glass is one large piece making them easy to wipe clean. These doors can also improve the aesthetics of your home and can even improve your home's value. This will be a feature that should be shown if you plan to sell your home in the future.
