Garden entry doors are designed to swing open like regular entry doors and are equipped with deadbolts for security. To increase energy efficiency, they can be equipped with double or triple pane gas, low-E coatings, weatherstripping and filled with argon gas. Privacy glass with mini blinds provides privacy.
Patio doors are designed to slide open on a track system, which prevents children and pets from easily escaping unseen. Mini blinds can add a sense of privacy while low-E coatings enhance energy efficiency. The large glass area on sliding patio doors allows for maximum sunlight and helps bring the outdoors in.
