Patio Doors Sliding Glass Patio Doors & French Patio Doors (Steel + Fibreglass)
Looking for a clean, bright backyard door upgrade that actually feels better day-to-day? We supply and install
sliding patio doors and French patio doors as complete systems—measured properly, built to suit your opening,
and finished so the result looks intentional (not “patched in”). Our focus is simple: the door should operate smoothly, seal tightly,
and stay that way through real weather.
For most homes, sliding is the go-to choice for a sliding glass door replacement because it doesn’t swing into your room,
it’s easy to use every day, and it gives you the widest glass area for light and views. We’ll match the right layout to your space
(2-panel, 3-panel, or wider multi-panel options), confirm fit and clearances on-site, and finish the perimeter so it’s clean, straight,
and properly sealed.
If you want a more “statement” look, French patio doors deliver a classic double-door style with a wide-open feel—great for dining rooms,
kitchens, and backyard-facing living areas where you want the door to feel like part of the design. They’re available in steel or
fibreglass, and we’ll help you choose the best material based on exposure, durability goals, and the look you’re after.
What we focus on for patio door replacement
- Smooth operation — doors should glide or swing cleanly
- Strong sealing — comfort-first waterproofing and insulation details
- Security options — keyed handle options + kicklock where available
- Clean finish — trim planning that looks built-in

Sliding Glass Door Replacement
Sliding doors are the top choice for most homes because they don’t swing into your space, they’re easy to use, and they maximize the glass area for natural light — ideal for exterior sliding doors and sliding porch doors.
Double glazed sliding doors for everyday comfort
Most glass patio doors are built with insulated glass units. If your goal is comfort and reduced drafts, we’ll recommend the right double glazed sliding doors package for your home’s exposure.
- Great for: bright openings and everyday ventilation with a screen
- Vinyl patio option: many homeowners prefer a vinyl sliding frame for low maintenance
- Modern looks: contemporary sliding glass doors with a dark exterior are a common request
2-panel, 3-panel, and 4-panel layouts
We offer sliding door layouts based on your opening:
- 2-panel layouts: the most common sliding door replacement
- 3-panel layouts: a popular “3 door sliding glass door” / 3 door patio door style for wider openings
- 4-panel layouts: ideal for large openings and wide-span designs
Common widths include a 5 foot sliding patio door, 6 ft sliding patio door, and 8 ft sliding patio door. We confirm sizing on-site and match the best layout to your space.
Patio door glass replacement (when possible)
If the frame and hardware are still in good shape, we can assess whether patio door glass replacement (sometimes searched as “sliding glass replacement”) is a smart option versus a full glass sliding patio door replacement.
- Best for: fogged or failed insulated glass
- Goal: restore clarity and insulation without replacing the full door
- We’ll confirm: if the door can be serviced safely and correctly
Patio door with transom (by layout)
Want more height and light? A patio door with transom can create a taller, more open look. We’ll confirm feasibility based on your opening, header conditions, and design goals.
People sometimes search for “atrium patio doors” or “vinyl patio” when looking for this style — we’ll match the look to your home.
French Patio Doors
French patio doors give you a classic double-door style with a wide open feel — a great choice when you want a premium look. They’re also a popular option for a porch door replacement when you want more glass and a brighter entry.

- Steel: strong, classic, and value-friendly for many homes
