A-Series Gliding Patio Door Features

Low-Maintenance

Frame constructed with a wood core and a fiberglass exterior. This construction produces a rigid frame and a low-maintenance, durable exterior. The wood frame is treated with a water-repellent preservative for long-lasting protection and performance.

One-piece non-conductive fiberglass sill enhances energy performance, and its superior strength eliminates the need for sill support. Innovative sill design provides superior water management.

Grille Types

Full Divided Light

Give your window an authentic look with grilles that are permanently applied to the interior and exterior of your window with an aluminum spacer between the glass.

Spacer Option for Greater Energy Efficiency

The Energy Spacer option is available to help A-Series products with full divided lights and SmartSun™ glass be ENERGY STAR® certified in the Northern climate zone. Its narrow design creates a 3mm gap around the spacer, helping to lower U-Factor values.

full-divided-light-grilles

Simulated Divided Light

Simulated divided light offers permanent grilles on the exterior and and a choice of permanent or removable wood interior grilles, with no spacer between the glass.

simulated-divided-light-grilles

Removable Interior Grille

Removable interior wood grilles are secured via a fastener or grille clip and can be removed enabling you to easily clean the glass surface.

Finelight Grilles Between-the-Glass

Finelight™ grilles are suspended between the panes of glass, allowing you to easily clean both the inside and outside of your windows and doors.

Glass Performance Options

SmartSun™ Tempered Glass

SmartSun™ glass gives you the benefits of Low-E glass, plus it helps shield your home from the sun's heat by filtering out harmful UV rays.

Ideal for: All Climates

SmartSun™ with HeatLock Coating is available on A-Series products. This prevents more heat from escaping your home but slightly reduces the visible light transmitted through the glass.

smartsun-4x

Low-E / Low-E4® Tempered Glass

Low-E Glass reflects heat in the summer and helps to retain interior heat in the winter.

Ideal for: All Climates

Low-E4® with HeatLock Coating is available on A-Series products. This improves the U-Factor performance of the window but slightly reduces how much light comes through the glass.

low-e-4x

Sun Tempered Glass

Sun glass has excellent thermal performance. This glass has a subtle tint that blocks out more heat from the sun.

Ideal for: Southern Climates

low-e4-sun-4x

PassiveSun® Tempered Glass

Ideal for: Northern Climates

passivesun-4x

Art Glass

Classic Series

The four styles included in our Classic Series panels represent major architectural design themes from the late 1800's through the 1930's. Their symmetric patterns are available in distinctive color schemes as well as colorless glass, and their caming may be finished with a gold tone, silver tone or antique patina.

classic-grid

Historic Series

Insect Screens

All insect screens have a long-lasting fiberglass screen mesh with a charcoal finish and are color matched to the exterior of the door unless otherwise specified.

Gliding Insect Screen

Patented square corner joints add considerable strength to the frame members. The insect screen is available in a conventional gliding or a premium top-hung gliding design. The conventional insect screen has bottom rollers with self-contained leveling adjusters. The premium top-hung insect screen has silicone-embedded glide hooks that hang from the top of the screen track, allowing it to glide smoothly and effortlessly. Alignment rollers on the bottom of the insect screen keep it in place on the track while the perimeter bug seal helps ensure insects stay on the outside.

gliding-door-retractable-sc

Retractable Insect Screen

The retractable insect screen is installed on the exterior of the door and opens side-to-side across the width of the opening. When the insect screen is not in use, it neatly retracts into a small canister mounted on the exterior of the door. The retractable insect screen canister is available for two-panel patio doors. Please note, retractable insect screen track reduces clear opening height by 1".
