Patio doors play a significant role in the curb appeal of your home. While there are many types of patio doors to choose from, there are two major categories that homeowners usually decide between: modern versus traditional patio doors.



Your choice of style for your patio doors will ultimately be up to you but it still pays to learn a thing or two about the advantages (and limitations) of both modern and traditional styles. Here are a few important pointers from our experts at D-Wing Construction.

Modern Doors

Newer door models have the benefit of upgrading some of the common issues older models are prone to. Modern doors installed by a professional door and roofing contractor tend to focus on solving these challenges. A good example is a sliding door that works incredibly well for homes with limited floor space. Sliding doors also allow you to use the space immediately next to the doors as its operation does not need extra clearance.

Traditional Doors

Historic homes are not the only places where traditional patio doors fit. Today, traditional doors are also used in contemporary designs and can even offer a foil to the motif of an ultra-modern home. The choice between modern and traditional, however, has more to do with looks as performances are determined by the product and the quality of its installation.

French Patio Doors

Of course, you can also get the best of both worlds with French patio doors. This style marries the traditional looks of older doors with the functionality and appeal of its more modern cousins. French patio doors are characterized by their wide glass areas and beautiful frame and sash patterns.
