What's better in a new slider
- Tandem stainless or coastal-grade rollers that glide smoothly
- Interlocking stiles and multiple weatherstrip layers
- Multi-point locking hardware
- Insulated low-E glass or laminated impact glass
- Sills designed to drain water out during wind-driven rain
Configurations
- Two-panel (one fixed, one sliding)
- Three- and four-panel for wide openings
- Pocket and stacking multi-slide systems
- Matching transoms and sidelites
Coastal considerations
On the islands, sand and salt are the enemy of any track. We recommend stainless hardware and regular track cleaning, and on oceanfront homes we usually specify impact-rated sliders sized for the design pressure.
Common questions
Can a slider be replaced with a wider door?
Often, yes, though it may require a new header. We'll assess the framing during the estimate.
How much does a sliding patio door cost?
Typically $2,500 to $7,500 installed for a standard two-panel door, more for impact or multi-panel systems.
