How to Buy the Best Sliding Glass Door: Step-By-Step Guide

CVP Windows & Doors — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 08:23:20 +0000

If you’re looking to enhance the aesthetics and overall functionality of your home, a sliding glass door is the perfect place to start. Not only do these doors provide an abundance of natural light and beautiful views, but they also offer easy access to outdoor areas and create a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces.

At CVP Windows & Doors, we are Coastal Virginia’s only window and door manufacturer. Because we LIVE IN this market, we BUILD FOR this market—and we know our CVP sliding glass door is the best for COVA. Here’s how to buy one that’s best for you.

Choosing the Best Sliding Glass Door: A Step-by-Step Buying Guide

1. Consider Your Requirements

Before diving into the buying process, identify your sliding glass door replacement needs and preferences. Assess factors such as the size of the opening, the amount of space available, and the architectural style of your home. Think purpose: will this door be used for access or maximizing natural light and views (or both)? Also consider any compliance requirements for your community and ensure whoever you are buying from can accommodate those requirements.

2. Choose a Durable Material

Sliding glass doors are typically available in three main materials: vinyl, aluminum, and wood. Each material has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but we recommend vinyl for the coastal market.

The ideal door for this market needs to be built to achieve DP-50 rating; which means it can withstand a 171 mph wind and 7 ½ foot pounds of water. A CVP sliding glass door is composed of all vinyl frame and sash components which are all internally reinforced with steel to achieve those high wind and impact ratings necessary for those heavy storms.

Just as important as the structure of the door is the hardware used. CVP’s vinyl sliding glass door uses only true stainless steel hardware for all its moving parts. Fully adjustable stainless steel lock and keeper, and heavy duty stainless steel ball bearing rollers to provide a lifetime of effortless function. With Coastal Virginia’s high humidity, sand and salt water, and even the occasional hurricane, CVP’s sliding glass door is truly built for this market!

3. Consider Energy Efficiency and Safety Features

Seek doors with high-quality insulation, such as double or triple-pane glass, low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, and Argon gas filled units. These features can help keep your home comfortable and cut energy costs by minimizing heat transfer. The sliding glass door produced by CVP Windows and Doors will meet or exceed Energy Star standards for thermal efficiency with a variety of glass options available.

Likewise, safety should always be a top priority when choosing a sliding glass door. Keep an eye out for upgraded hardware, including multi-point locking systems. At CVP, all our sliding glass doors come standard with a multipoint locking system. There are no additional costs for this system, and no need to purchase additional secondary locking systems.

4. Check Operation, Functionality and Additional Features

Before finalizing your purchase, test if the door slides smoothly on its track and the locking mechanism is easy to operate. Additionally, check to see what features you might want are standard, such as a screen, and what features may be optional (such as hardware finishes to match the other doors in your home, or keyed hardware if you are going to use the door as a primary entrance). At CVP Windows and Doors we have a wide variety of add-on features. All of these function and feature questions can be answered by scheduling a visit to our showroom.

5. Seek Professional Installation

Now, it’s time to search for a company that installs sliding glass doors with optimal performance. By hiring a professional installer who is experienced in working with these types of doors, you can ensure your sliding glass door will be properly aligned, sealed, and secured—lowering the risk of issues in the future. The best door on the market can be ruined by improper installation.

CVP Windows and Doors only uses in-house installation teams. Our installers are trained by us, and install only CVP products every day.

Research reputable brands known for manufacturing high-quality sliding glass doors and read customer reviews to gather insight into the performance and durability of different products.

Once you’ve ensured you’re getting the best value for your money, obtain multiple quotes from different suppliers. Compare prices, warranties, and included services to make an informed decision that aligns with your budget and needs.

CVP Windows & Doors: Professional Sliding Glass Door Installation

At CVP, we are the best sliding glass door replacement company in the Coastal Virginia market. Our initiative is to build a custom product—from your custom size and make-up to your specific glass specifications, we proudly manufacture and install sliding glass doors that last a lifetime.

CVP Donates Windows & Doors to Habitat for Humanity 3D-Printed House

CVP Windows & Doors — Tue, 16 Aug 2022 11:27:00 +0000

CVP Windows & Doors was proud to help make a ground-breaking dream come true for a Williamsburg, Virginia family by partnering with Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg in building the ﬁrst ever 3D-printed Habitat for Humanity home in the country.The three-bedroom, two-bath 3D-printed home, outﬁtted with entry doors and windows donated by CVP, is a 1,200 square foot slice of technological history right here in Coastal Virginia. For this ﬁrst-of-its-kind home, a custom-manufactured window solution was needed. That’s where CVP stepped up to design and donate 13 DHA4 Double-Hung vinyl windows. CVP also donated two ﬁberglass entry doors for the 3D-printed home.

All of the windows donated by CVP meet Energy Star® and DP50 standards, making CVP the provider of choice for this unique 3D Habitat Home build. With energy eﬃciency in mind, CVP’s windows provide an additional boost to the energy saving qualities of this 3D printed concrete home. With the addition of a Low-E 366 glass upgrade, CVP windows easily met the team’s EarthCraft smart-building standards to reduce utility bills.The exterior of the 3D printed home was built in just 28 hours using an Alquist 3D printer, with the primary building material being concrete, rather than lumber.CVP was honored to participate in this innovative home build designed by Alquist and the Virginia Center for Housing Research at Virginia Tech. The home comes equipped with Virginia Tech’s Raspberry-Pi based monitoring system which allows the homeowner to monitor indoor environment, security, and energy consumption.

At CVP, we share the vision of corporate responsibility exempliﬁed by other in-kind sponsors including LL Flooring and Ferguson Enterprises.

“For us to be able to donate the windows and doors really made us feel good and we were happy to do it,” stated CVP President/Owner Barry Taylor, “We believe this project is a huge win for our Coastal Virginia community and the future of the building industry.”

Since CVP was started in 2001, we have made it our goal and responsibility to create value and support in our local community in any way we can. Giving back to our Coastal Virginia neighbors is something we enjoy doing, and Habitat for Humanity provided us with a great opportunity to do so. Get a Free Estimate.

Pro Tips for Picking a Replacement Front Entry Door

CVP Windows & Doors — Fri, 13 May 2022 12:58:19 +0000

Are you considering a front door replacement? Donald and Britt are here to help! We just released a new video called Britt Buys a Door where we discuss the process and options for choosing a new front entry door. Many homeowners are surprised by the number of choices available. Don’t let this deter you! Just read on and watch our video. We have lots of pro tips to help you choose the right replacement front door from an experienced door replacement company like CVP Windows & Doors.

Pro Tip 1: Choose a Front Entry Door Unit in the Right Configuration

Start by choosing a replacement pre-hung door unit in the same configuration as your current front entry door. This helps ensure that your new door unit will fit in your existing opening without reframing. It also makes the installation process a lot more efficient.

Before you can choose a new front entry door, learn what parts comprise your current door unit. A basic replacement front entry door consists of a door slab, frame, and sill. However, many front entry doors also include a sidelight on one or both sides of the door slab and/or a transom above. We highly recommend choosing a pre-hung replacement door unit that includes all the same components as your current front door.

Pro Tip 2: Decide on a Texture and Finish for Your Replacement Door Unit

At CVP, we carry a full line of high-quality fiberglass replacement front entry doors. Our fiberglass front entry doors come in different surface textures, including smooth and wood grain. These doors come unfinished, which means they will need to be painted or stained. (A factory-finished door is available by request for an additional charge.) It’s up to you as the homeowner to decide whether you want to paint or stain the door unit.

Once you know what look you’re going for, you’ll be able to choose a texture and finish to achieve your goals.

Pro Tip 3: Consider the Design and Amount of Glass You Want in Your Replacement Door

The design options available for a replacement front entry door are mind-boggling. Start with the panel designs, add on a wide variety of glass options, and multiply your choices for hardware and accessories. In no time, you’re facing an exponential number of options!

One important decision is the amount of glass you want in your door slab and/or sidelights. Glass panels are available in clear-view, obscure privacy glass, or decorative patterns. The amount of glass in your replacement front entry door is also highly customizable ranging from ¼, ½, ¾ to a full panel length.

The hardware for your door represents another design option. In nearly every case, the handle set for a front entry door is sold separately. However, the hinge hardware on the door IS included and can be customized to different finishes, such as brushed nickel, stainless steel, or brass. You might want to select a handle set at the same time as your front entry door so that you can match the hardware finish.

Pro Tip 4: Consult with a Replacement Front Entry Door Company

We hope this information is helpful to you. If you’re still not sure what you want in a replacement front entry door, don’t worry! Finding design inspiration can be as easy as walking down your street and looking at other homes, or browsing websites like Pinterest or Houzz.

As Coastal Virginia’s Custom Window & Door Company, we’re your local front entry door replacement resource. We have our own in-house installation team and carry a full line of fiberglass front entry doors from Therma-Tru® and other national manufacturers.

Schedule your free consultation today with a member of our team by calling 757-887-3194 or visiting us at www.customvinyl.net.

Swing Door vs. Slider: How to Pick Your Perfect Patio Door

CVP Windows & Doors — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 15:20:21 +0000

Reasons to Choose Replacement Swinging French Doors

Homeowners love French doors for their traditional, classic look. They add an air of elegance to any room with a wide frame, stylish hardware, and customary 15-lite grid pattern. “French door” generally refers to a pair of swinging patio doors. However, many possible configurations range from a single swinging door to a few doors flanked by matching sidelights. You can also choose doors with or without a grid pattern.

Swinging doors typically cost more than comparable sliding glass patio doors, including the cost to replace sliding glass doors. They also take up more space because they open up into your room or out onto your patio. For these reasons, swinging patio doors are a good choice for rooms that are spacious, stylish, and less frequently used. Contact Us

Why You Might Prefer a Sliding Glass Door

Sliding glass patio doors have been a mainstay since the 1960s. Over the years, they’ve significantly advanced in quality and performance.

Sliding doors offer a clean, modern look with a floor-to-ceiling view of your backyard. For homeowners who prefer a traditional look, sliding doors can be customized with grid patterns. Unlike French Doors, sliding doors open parallel to the wall and occupy very little space.

Beyond the aesthetics, there are functional reasons to consider a sliding glass door. Sliding glass doors are fixed to a track with a sill and weep system that helps divert water from your home. Compared to swinging doors, they have fewer horizontal openings for air and water to penetrate. In our humid coastal area, these factors protect your home against water damage while increasing energy efficiency.

Another big advantage of sliding glass doors is that they can be custom-built to size. Swinging doors, however, are only available in standard sizes. If your opening is an odd size, it’s easier to install a custom-built door than to modify your opening to fit the door. Resizing an opening can be expensive and invasive, especially if it requires changing the header, installing sheetrock, and getting permits.

Sliding Door vs French Door- No Matter Which Replacement Exterior Door You Choose, We Can Help!

We sell French swing doors and sliding glass patio doors. Both styles deliver a high-quality, affordable exterior patio door with a maintenance-free frame and rot-free PVC exterior trim.

CVP Windows & Doors has taken the sliding glass patio door to the next level. All our patio doors come with stainless steel hardware and precision roller bearings to open effortlessly for years to come.

CVP doors, including our advanced sliding-swing-door, have a sturdy PVC frame and DP50 hurricane-rated glass to withstand 170+ mph winds. These performance features give our sliding glass door structural advantages that surpass just about any swinging glass door. A sliding door manufactured by CVP is tighter and resists water and air infiltration much better than a swinging door.

FAQs About Slider and Swing Doors

Which is better, a sliding door or a swing door?

While the Sliding door vs French door debate is endless, the choice essentially boils down to factors such as space availability, aesthetics, and cost. Sliding doors are space-efficient, while swing doors offer a traditional and elegant look.

How do I choose a patio door?

Consider factors like available space, design preference, and budget when choosing a patio door. Swinging doors are elegant but require more space, while sliding doors are modern and space-efficient.

How do you determine the swing of a patio door?

To determine the swing of a patio door, stand outside the room or house and note which side the hinges are on. If the hinges are on the left, it’s a left-hand swing; if on the right, it’s a right-hand swing.
