Glass Doors – Dallas, TX

Reasons to Get a Glass Door

Glass doors can be one of the best investments you can make when remodeling or buying a home. While they might appear to some to expose “too much,” they can be fabricated based on your unique design details so that you get the look and security you desire.

A few of the most common reasons you might consider glass doors include:

• More Natural Lighting: Energy bills can be a serious problem if you don’t have the right kind of doors. Fortunately, with ones consisting of glass, you can enjoy more natural light as it streams into the areas of your home. This cuts down on how much electricity you use and can help keep your home warm and cool depending on the time of year.
• Extended View: If you have young children, you will find glass doors that offer panoramic views to be a welcome addition. Your ability to see beyond the confines of a particular room can give you greater peace of mind while you do the dishes, and your children play in the backyard safely.
• Great for Entertaining: If you enjoy hosting parties or having people over for a summer barbecue or evening gathering, you can use your sliding glass doors as a way to combine the indoor and outdoor spaces. These allow for free-flowing movement between areas so that you and your guests never feel secluded.
• Improved Health: This particular reason might surprise you, but since glass doors allow for more natural light to stream into your home, you’ll find that your mental and physical health improves. Exposure to the sun can help to boost your mood and create more restful sleep at night. You might also notice that you’re more productive and have more energy.

Are Glass Doors Safe?

It is a common concern many homeowners and future homebuyers have when it comes to glass doors – their safety. Whether you have children and/or pets or you live alone, it can make you wonder just how easy it might be for these doors to break. Fortunately, the materials used nowadays allow sliding glass doors, bifold doors, and other styles to remain completely safe.

When meeting with our team, we can discuss the tempered glass that is commonly used as well as ways to increase the safety of these doors. If broken, it’s unlikely for the pieces to cause much if any harm. Also, they often come with a security film to help it maintain its placement should it accidentally break at any point.

If you want additional protection and security, you can install a security system and enhanced outdoor lighting to reduce the chances of an intruder trying to break the glass and get in. Also, updating the hardware on your glass doors to include deadbolts and strike plates can serve as additional security measures.
