Garden Window To Patio Door Renovation

If you can dream it we can build it. Have you always wanted a patio door leading out to your garden? Polar Ray-O-Max can create an attractive, energy efficient patio door for your home. This homeowner had a window that was not working efficiently but they didn’t necessarily want to replace it with another window. A triple door system was implemented to increase the capture of natural light and add functionality to the area. A space that was once blocked is now open to pass through. Beautiful decorative panels of energy efficient window glass add to the character of this home while creating an attractive passage into their garden space.

Here are some of the components used to accomplish this patio door system, their features and benefits:

  1. Fiberglass Skin - Resistant to extreme temperatures with a twenty minute fire rating. The natural white finish can be painted in a wide spectrum of colours.
  2. Polyurethane Core – For superior insulation. It is rated at R15.
  3. Full length Lock Block— Stabalizes hardware and supports the option of a multi-point lock system.
  4. Reinforced Steel Plate – For additional security and stability of the entire slab.
  5. Inner Stiles – Consists of a composite PVC material providing a water proof membrane.
  6. Composite Door Jamb – The maintenance free characteristics accompanied by a range-of-width sizing is a key feature.
  7. Aluminum Clad Door Sill – A uniform unit which eliminates water penetration and ice build up.
  8. Composite PVC Brick Mould – An additional maintenance free feature eliminating cracking and rotting.
  9. Adjustable Door Sweep – A major contributor to the high efficiency performance of the door system year round.
  10. Foam Weather Stripping – It has vinyl skin, is hand fitted and independently placed to ensure superior tight seal.
  11. Textured Fiberglass Skin – Provides the opportunity for staining to look like wood, but the maintain the maintenance free characteristics of the fiberglass door system.
