There are several important variations of design for impact sliding doors. Below are some of the most important ones.
For some homes that have a patio opening that requires 3 to 5 panels, a possible solution is a stackable sliding door. This door configuration allows you to put all the panels to one side, giving a large opening with more uninterrupted views of the back yard.
You can also have the doors split in the middle if they are 4 panels or more. In fact, this is a necessary configuration for most homes because stacking more than 3 panels to one side requires the header to be at least 12″ in width to accommodate the track.
Equal split panel configurations are also very expandable. For several manufacturers, up to eight panels can be stacked on each side making a 16 panel sliding glass door solution if the project requires it!
For some properties, the homeowner wants to hide the door in an internal or external pocket in order to make the opening bigger. Retro fitting a pocket sliding glass door with the impact sliding glass door version is often very difficult and expensive.
Typically, the existing pocket is not wide enough which means it has to be reconstructed to fit the new patio door.
An external pocket sliding glass door often requires a modification of the exterior to ensure it is installed correctly and will pass codes.
Bifold doors are the most pricey but best solution for opening up the home to uninterrupted views. Learn more about bifold doors.
