Four Benefits of Sliding Glass Doors

Today’s sliding glass doors have come a long way from the sliding glass doors of your youth. They’re practically high-tech. We now have doors that can take an errant soccer ball without breaking, that can fit in with the design choices in any home, no matter how old-fashioned or ultra-modern, and that can keep the elements out while letting the beauty of the outdoors in.

If you’re interested in investing in sliding glass doors in Santa Fe, NM, these are just some of the benefits you can expect.

Sliding glass doors let the outside in

Little can affect the livability of a home more than natural light. It is a scientific fact that we are happier when we are more attuned with the cycles of nature. Natural light is important for your physical and emotional wellbeing, establishing healthy sleeping rhythms and regulating other important body systems. This is true for both you and your family.

Plus, we’re just drawn to natural light. We enjoy the brightness, the heat and the simple feel of it on our skin. This has always been the main draw of adding a sliding glass door to a living space. With today’s new range of styles, you can find a sliding glass door to open up and brighten any living space.

Sliding glass doors transform your living space

When you add a sliding glass door, you transform the feel of your space. Having a view of the outdoors creates an additional sense of scale and space in your home that greatly improves its livability. Even in a city—where you would think you’d see only traffic jams and swarms of people—you see little hopping birds, butterflies and all sorts of curious things.

The whole purpose of having a home is to live a better life, so it makes sense to design your living space with this purpose in mind.

There are sliding glass doors for every taste and style

When some people picture a sliding glass door, they remember the doors they saw in the ’70s and ’80s: big slabs of glass slowly turning green, bulky black bezel around the whole door and having to use a two-by-four to make sure the door was locked at night. When they’re introduced to the array of options available today, they’re shocked.

You might think, ‘Those are sliding glass doors?’ There are options available that no one ever told you to expect: French panes, wood and metal trims and impact-resistant glass. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

New models of sliding glass doors are extremely energy efficient

Even though it may seem counter intuitive, new models of sliding glass doors can’t be topped for energy efficiency. Our low-E and double- and triple-pane options are designed to keep cool air in when it’s hot outside and warm air in when it’s cold. And they work—whether you’re in Bangor, Maine, or in Santa Fe.
