Home » Which Slider Door Should You Choose?

Your home’s doors don’t have to be just the front door and back door. Adding a well placed sliding or swinging patio door can not only give your family access to the outdoors and bring in extra light; your new door can also accentuate the style of your home. If you are ready to add a new door, or perhaps update an old door that no longer suits your décor, you may be wondering which option may be best for you.

Thanks to our 80 years of experience serving customers throughout Chicagoland, the team at Rusco can guide you through your options. Here are a few things to consider when choosing which patio door may be best for you.

Do you have space for the swing?
French doors are a lovely addition to any home and add a nice architectural element that is functional as well as stylish. French doors are comprised of two matching doors in one frame, swinging open to the outside. If you are considering this classic option, be sure that your outdoor area is spacious enough to accommodate the swing of the door. If your space is tight, you may want to consider a sliding option instead. At Rusco, we can show you both sliding and swinging French door options; visit our showroom to see both styles in action.

What style best complements your current window design?
Your patio doors should complement your windows and home design. Fortunately, the team at Rusco offers patio doors that can accentuate your current home. Choose from modern and sleek looks to more classic designs. We also offer swinging and sliding doors, in addition to bifold, arch, and lift/slide options. You won’t believe how easily you can choose a new door that you will love, and that will blend seamlessly into your home’s architectural plan.

Are you ready to explore a new patio door? Give us a call to set up a consultation in our busy showroom. We would love to help you get started on the new favorite part of your home.
