The problem

When the current sliding glass door no longer meets the home's needs

Worn rollers, damaged tracks, failed locks or air and water intrusion can turn a large patio opening into a daily frustration. Central Florida homes face strong solar heat, frequent afternoon storms and varied construction across the Orlando-area housing stock. A useful recommendation should account for the opening, surrounding wall condition, sun exposure and whether storm protection is required or desired.

Opening condition

Operation, frame, seals, substrate and surrounding finishes affect the correct scope.

Weather exposure

A useful recommendation should account for the opening, surrounding wall condition, sun exposure and whether storm protection is required or desired.

Product documentation

Manufacturer, series, configuration, glass and applicable ratings should be identified in writing.

Installation scope

Removal, installation, sealing, finish work, permitting and cleanup should be clear before approval.

What the right sliding glass door can improve for a Central Florida home

01

Reliable operation

A properly selected and installed sliding glass door should operate, latch and secure as intended without excessive force.

02

Weather management

The complete assembly, seals and installation details help manage air and wind-driven rain at the opening.

03

Comfort

Suitable frame and glass choices can reduce solar heat gain and improve comfort near the opening.

04

Security

Modern hardware, frames and laminated-glass options can add resistance at vulnerable openings.

05

Appearance

New proportions, finishes and grille choices can update the home while respecting its architecture.

06

Florida-ready choices

Impact and non-impact options can be compared according to location, opening and project goals.

The solution

Choose the right sliding glass door for the actual opening

A useful recommendation should account for the opening, surrounding wall condition, sun exposure and whether storm protection is required or desired. The best choice depends on the individual opening rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

Panel configuration

Compare two-panel, multi-panel and pocketing options according to opening and use.

Track and threshold

Operation and water management depend on a correctly prepared and installed sill system.

Impact glass

Large approved impact panels can combine permanent protection with broad views.

Johan & Al did a great job! They worked hard every day despite the the heat and humidity. They cleaned up their mess every day and did a great job sealing and finishing the windows and doors.

Our new impact resistant window was installed by the most competent, obliging people - Daniel and Gino who worked nonstop and with much care to get the work done. Luis, the regional manager also popped in. He is also a fine rep for WindowWall. All in all, a great experience.
