♦ Sliding glass patio doors are more inviting
If you choose to have sliding glass patio doors in your home, it will make for a more inviting atmosphere, perfect for hosting get-togethers, big or small.
♦ You get better views
Sliding glass doors allow an uninterrupted panoramic view of the landscape, giving you an expansive feeling, unmatched by in-swing and out-swing French doors.
They allow more light in and similarly provide a better view than other kinds of doors, yet have grids set between the multiple panes of glass in each door or have grids adherent to the outside of the glass. Both of these methods are used to give the appearance of having multiple small window panes set into interlocking frames throughout the doors. While this adds to the classic look and feel that French doors provide, it interrupts the view and can feel somewhat restrictive and claustrophobic compared to the uninterrupted view provided by more modern sliding glass patio doors.
♦ Sliding doors save space
Sliding doors also save a significant amount of space, both inside and out. If you aren’t willing to sacrifice space inside, You can go with a set of out-swing French doors, and if you haven’t got a lot of space to spare in your patio or outdoor area, you can go with an in-swing French door. Wouldn’t it be best not to have to sacrifice anything at all? With sliding doors, you get the best of everything, saving space inside and out. Sliding doors maximize the space of your home, both inside and out.
♦ Efficient, ergonomic
In addition to saving space, sliding glass patio doors are incredibly efficient and make a far more ergonomic experience and provide a better flow to the layout of your home. In addition to the other potential drawbacks of in-swing or out-swing French doors, one should consider that entering or exiting your interior living space may require you to step back and so interrupt your momentum, which can be inconvenient if you are carrying a lot of heavy groceries, moving cumbersome furniture, or for any other reason you need to pass in and out of your home frequently at any given time. If you don’t want to have to keep opening and closing the door every time you have to go in and out, sliding glass patio doors are the right choice for you.
♦ Modern look and feel
Sliding glass doors have a modern, sleek look and feel to them. They are totally efficient in every way, are low-maintenance, and highly secure. Their compact, space-saving nature is perfect for your modern lifestyle, and their large panes of glass add to the futuristic minimalism that is increasingly popular in this day and age. Even with the modern ambiance inherent to this operating style of a patio door, you can also temper that modernity with a more traditional appearance depending on which style series you choose for your home. These patio doors come in six style series, each lending its own unique benefits to the personality of your home.
♦ Security
Sliding glass patio doors are inherently more secure, being set in tracks both at the bottom (which is called the sill) and at the top (or the head). Pair that with Milgard’s Smart Touch handle and door bolts and our SecurityMAX package, and forced entry is an absolute non-issue. The doors have four locking points – one at the top, one at the bottom, and two in the handle latch. This security package surpasses even the most rigorous California forced-entry requirements.

The Tuscany Series is one of three vinyl options we offer at Milgard. Our vinyl formula has excellent insulating properties and is in every way a low-maintenance material. It is also an inexpensive option, so you can save money not only on your yearly energy costs but on the front end as well.

The Tuscany Series is one of our style series with a somewhat more traditional look to it. The Tuscany Series also comes with a choice between standard and French rails, and a grid option for an even more classical look, giving the appearance of multiple panes, as in a traditional in-swing or out-swing French door. In short, this is likely the best choice if you have difficulty deciding between a more traditional look or a more modern appearance, as it perfectly balances both.

Fiberglass is a superior choice given its highly durable nature, its clean appearance, its energy-efficient properties, and given the fact that it is easy to maintain.
