www.french-patio-doors.com – A patio can be a great decorative opportunity for any home that is fortunate enough to have one. However, before you settle on a design scheme and start decorating your patio, you might want to address the entrance to your patio. In all likelihood, if your home has a patio, the doors that lead to this space are probably going to be of the sliding glass variety. Whatever the case, popular upgrades to older doors are french patio doors. While French doors are extremely decorative as well as functional, there are a few things that you will want to keep in mind with these particular types of doors.With french patio doors, you will typically find two types of materials used, wood and vinyl (and occasionally UPVC). While these materials are very well suited for French doors, there is a maintenance side to these doors that you will not want to overlooked. Proper maintenance of French doors will ensure that you get maximum life out of them.For wood doors, you will want to make sure that you apply coats of paint or stain once every couple of years (sooner if you see bubbling or peeling).

These are 2 year old Jeld Wen French doors (Feb 10, 2010). The stationary door is bowed due to the winds here. This was filmed shortly after a strong wind caused the stationary door to actually bow enough for the passage door to blow open (luckily we were home and I had some 2×4′s laying around). Even after inspection Jeld Wen would not replace the door. These doors are fiberglass – I do not recommend them for windy areas since the stationary door cannot take the stress and Jeld Wen will not stand behind their product. Note the snow that blew through the opening at the bottom – Snow was also blowing through the top. In the video you can see my hand – I had to put my hand on the door so that it didn’t blow open again. I ended up putting 2X4′s across the doors so that I didn’t have to stand next to them holding them closed for the duration of winter. Despite being only 2 years old, I will be replacing them with something else. Jeld Wen said 1. “faulty installation” THEN 2. “steel doors would be better suited” (implying fiberglass wasn’t up to the job) THEN 3. “we recommend putting them in so they open outward” AND wanted me to buy another set of doors (they NEVER recommended installing them that way).
