Sliding glass doors add a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. They also allow natural light to flood into living spaces, making rooms look larger.
JELD-WEN offers energy efficient options that meet ENERGY STAR standards, including Low-E glass and insulated frames. These features help reduce home energy costs by keeping homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Sleek Appearance
Sliding glass doors provide a sleek appearance that allows natural light to fill any room. They also give homeowners access to their patio and a stunning view of the outdoor scenery.
Sleek is a word that describes something that looks smooth, shiny and healthy. It is used to describe people, cars, furniture and other things.
Sliding glass doors have a raised track where gliding rollers follow a path to allow the door to open. The raised track makes it easy to clean and safe for family members who use wheelchairs or walkers. It also prevents debris from falling into the door track. The door frame and wall thickness are another consideration when choosing a sliding door.
Easy to Operate
Sliding glass doors provide a sleek appearance that complements a range of architectural styles and helps rooms look larger. Their large glass panes allow natural light to flow into living spaces, reducing the need for artificial lighting and helping to regulate circadian rhythms for a better night’s sleep.
They also can be opened during the day to bring in fresh air and reduce energy costs, and closed at night to keep conditioned air inside. A multi-point lock system and tempered glass help to protect against intruders, while tandem ball-bearing rollers make opening and closing effortless.
ENERGY STAR-certified sliding glass doors have superior thermal protection, minimizing the amount of heat that enters a home in summer and escapes it in winter. This keeps heating and cooling costs lower while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy Efficient
With sliding glass doors, you can bring natural light into your home and have a great view of the outdoors. The large panes of glass also make rooms feel bigger and brighter. These doors are energy efficient, allowing your cooling system to work more efficiently and keeping heat out.
Sliding patio doors can be opened during the day to let in fresh air and sunlight, then closed to keep conditioned air inside. Choose a door with Low-E glass and double weatherstripping to minimize air leakage. LAS’s welded and mechanically fastened frame options offer security and durability. They also ensure an airtight seal, reducing energy loss.

In addition, our ENERGY STAR-certified sliding patio doors with Low E glass and double continuous weatherstripping help you reduce your energy consumption and lower your utility bills all year round. They also block harmful UV rays to protect your furnishings and interior décor from fading.
Safe
Sliding glass doors highlight views, brighten rooms, and make the outdoors more accessible. They also improve insulation and reduce energy bills. Depending on the style, they can also boost home security.
Newer sliding doors use tempered or laminated safety glass that shatters into small oval pebbles without sharp edges. This glass is four to five times stronger than plate glass, which can cause serious injury to people or pets if shattered.
Sliding glass door locks engage at multiple points on the frame, reducing the potential for forced entry. They also feature tandem ball-bearing rollers that help prevent accidents caused by sticking or jamming.
Easy to Clean
With their large glazed surfaces, sliding glass doors let natural light into rooms and create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. They also minimize heat transfer, helping homeowners save on energy bills.
Unlike hinged doors, sliding patio doors slide horizontally along a track and don’t require clearance space for opening or closing. Their sleek appearance makes them a great option for modern homes and can even increase a home’s value.
Cleaning a sliding glass door is easy and requires only simple tools. You can clean the glass surface using a spray bottle, bucket, squeegee, and lint-free rags. You can also use a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt from the tracks.
