Sliding glass doors are doors that have at least one panel that glide smoothly past another door panel to save room where you need it. They are most commonly used by your patio or pool deck and could possibly be the most used door in your home.
Perhaps your current glass doors don’t slide smoothly anymore. Maybe they grind or squeak and the wheels can barely stay on the track. When sliding glass doors become worn down from daily wear and tear, they become much less efficient at keeping out the elements. You can see your AC blow out through the worn seals around the door, driving up your electric bill. This doesn’t have to be the case any longer. Imagine sliding glass doors that glide silently & easily with a finger, and that actually seal tightly when closed – keeping bugs and heat outside where they belong. Our replacement patio glass doors are affordable, energy efficient, and actually help to lower your electricity bill. Our durable & impact-resistant sliding glass doors look beautiful, stand up to inclement weather, and also help mitigate home intrusions.
Karoly Windows & Doors Tampa can help you find the right sliding glass patio door that meets your needs and budget, whether it’s a standard size or a completely custom design. We carry sliding glass patio doors from the top manufacturers, such as Simonton and PGT. These brands both carry sliding glass doors that will enhance the beauty of your home and increase the fair-market value.
