Our sliding patio doors come in a variety of styles to make sure you are getting a product that youโ€™ll love. These doors work well in rooms with limited space, allowing for more flexibility with your homeโ€™s interior layout. They are also customizable in width and height to meet the needs of your home. Two popular options include Classic-style and Contemporary-style.

What’s the Difference?

Although these patio doors present different benefits, they both come in a variety of colors and design options. This includes both exterior and interior colors, interior grids, cut glass, and decorative handles.

Classic-Style Patio Doors

Classic-style patio doors are framed with 5-inch rails to provide a high-performing infrastructure. These doors will enhance your home with a crisp, clean-line appearance and act as a powerful shield to protect against inclement weather. Our thoughtfully designed Classic-style sliding patio door is a longtime favorite for its timeless beauty and superb construction.

Contemporary-Style Patio Doors

Unlike the classic style, Contemporary-style patio doors are framed with 3-inch rails. This allows for a generous glass area that offers maximum daylight into your home. Contemporary-styleโ€™s refreshing design features both heavy-duty construction and a high-performing glass system to ensure years of superior durability and energy efficiency. These doors are built to endure everyday wear and tear and provide a beautiful entry to your home.
