When it comes to replacing the patio door to your Arizona or New Mexico home, there are a few different options available. You can enjoy several benefits and amenities with different patio doors, from a sliding glass door to a traditional French door. So, let's take a look at what you can expect with these options.

Why Choose a Sliding Glass Door?

By far, the most popular patio door style used in US homes is the sliding glass door. Featuring two full glass sliding doors with narrow frames, these entries let tons of light into the home. Sliding glass doors are almost another window for the home, allowing you to brighten up dark living areas and enjoy a great view outside. 

Typically, sliding glass doors have one fixed door that serves as a window installation and one sliding door that moves on a horizontal track. Higher end sliding glass doors may have two operable sliding glass doors to increase air flow and functionality. 

Some homeowners even opt for multipaned doors with three or more glass doors for an indoor/outdoor transition from inside to the outdoor living areas.

A standard two panel sliding glass door is also the most cost-effective option when installing replacement exterior doors in Arizona and New Mexico. According to Angi, the cost of a sliding glass door replacement is up to $4,000 and the cost of a sliding glass door replacement is up to $2,600.

Why Choose a French Patio Door?

If you want to add an extra touch of style to your home's entryways, French patio doors are another good option. These entryways are designed to look like a set of doors that swing open from the outside edges. 

A French doorway may have one or two fully operable doors. Homeowners may opt to install only one operable door along with a fixed door as a space-saver, for improved security, or to save a little on the budget.

No matter your preference for these French doors, adding them to your home will boost curb appeal. French doorways are universally considered an elegant and classic update. In fact, many homeowners opt to use French doors as a double-wide front entry for the property.
