Upgrade your indoor living spaces with beautiful patio doors that blur the line between interior activity and scenic landscapes outside. Whether you prefer the classic elegance of French doors or the space-saving functionality of sliding and bifold options, Conservation Construction of Houston has the durable and energy efficient fenestrations that suit your aesthetic preferences and budget.
French doors
French doors are among the most popular patio door types. They are characterized by their double-door design and multiple panes of glass, called lites, set within frames. They can be designed to swing inward toward a home’s interior or outward onto a patio, depending on spatial constraints and homeowner preference.
The beauty of this type of patio door is that it brings natural light into a room and helps connect indoor and outdoor living spaces. They also provide easy access to a home’s patio, deck, or backyard.
A quality pair of French doors will also have advanced energy efficiency features that help keep a home comfortable year-round. These include an easy-clean coating that repels dirt, grime, and water spots. Additionally, a high-performance Low-E glass will reflect heat and UV rays away from the inside of a home, helping to reduce cooling costs in summer and heating bills in winter.
Sliding doors
Upgrade your home’s interior and outdoor living experience with new sliding patio doors. This timeless design provides a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor space while adding beauty and value to your property.
Unlike swinging doors, which require more clearance for opening, sliding patio doors move on horizontal rails that require only the width of the door frame. This makes them a smart choice for tight spaces or rooms where opening and closing space is limited.
Our durable, stylish sliding doors are built to withstand Houston’s challenging climate conditions. They use advanced insulation, Low-E glass technology, and argon gas to maintain comfort, reduce energy costs, and improve overall value. They also feature an innovative easy-clean coating that repels dirt, grime, and water spots for longer periods of time, allowing you to easily keep them looking like new. The result is a durable door that’s a breeze to open and close. Moreover, they come in various sizes to suit your needs.
Multi-slide doors
Featuring smoothly gliding panels that align in a row and either stack or hide into a wall pocket when open, multi-slide doors are ideal for opening up walls to expansive views and indoor-outdoor living. They’re often found in modern homes or anywhere there isn’t room for a swinging door to open.
They have the benefit of a clean line with less framing to block the view, and they offer more wide-open space than bifold patio doors. However, they can also limit the view if one panel is stationary or obstructed by other panels.
They’re a great option for larger rooms, but they can also make small spaces feel more spacious with their large glass panes that allow natural light to flood into the room. They can be a little more expensive than sliding doors and bifold doors, but they’re a beautiful way to brighten up interiors and create an inviting ambiance. Unlike traditional sliding doors, they don’t require any wall modification or hardware to install.
Bi-fold doors
Often used to strengthen the transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, bi-fold doors are a coveted feature that opens up enclosed areas and lets natural light flood into rooms. These doors are a great solution for homeowners seeking to upgrade their traditional patio doors or bring more of the outdoors in during parties and gatherings.
These doors consist of multiple panels that fold together in a concertina-style when opened. They can also be made with glazed panels to maximize views. Compared to swinging doors, they require less clearance space and can fit into narrow openings that might obstruct pathways.
When choosing bi-fold doors, it’s essential to consider their quality and performance. Look for doors that have passed hurricane testing and energy efficiency ratings. You can also choose a weathered threshold to better protect the doors from rainwater and other inclement conditions. Ensure the doors have a durable easy-clean coating that repels dirt, grime, and other debris for easier cleaning.
