Using sliding doors and french doors in one doorwayI need to put a door in a five foot wide doorway that leads out to a deck. I am concerned about security and insulation but my legal requirement for light and air forces me to use a sliding glass door. I have 2 choices. Either I can put in an expensive anderson sliding door or I can put in a cheaper door and then a set of steel french doors that open out. Which choice is better in terms of security and insulation and which is more economical? |

I'm confused
1) How you going to do 3 doors in a 5 foot opening?
2) Why is light an issue, you can get entry doors with glass panels? We have one in our basement that opens into our greenhouse. An one with a half panel for our kitchen entrance door.
5 foot is pretty narrow for a slider, means opening will be less then 2 1/2 feet. Not even sure if they make them so narrow.

They make 5' sliding doors but I don't understand the problem. Why can't a 5' hinged patio door work? OP -- can you give more info? Is this residential or commercial? |
