Top 4 Door Trends You Should Look Out for in 2017

Homeowners are starting to lean toward trends that combine long-term performance with timeless design. At Renewal by Andersen®, we keep a close watch on trends related to patio doors, and here’s what’s hot this year.

1. Energy efficiency – Rising energy costs make energy efficiency a trend that isn’t likely to go out of style anytime soon. Because energy-efficient options are becoming more accessible to every homeowner, there isn’t a better time to invest in energy-efficient patio doors than right now. Renewal by Andersen patio doors feature High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass options that reflect harmful UV and infrared rays. When combined with our equally energy-efficient, long-lasting door frames, these doors eventually pay for themselves in energy savings.

2. Big patio doors – Homeowners are going for bigger patio doors without worrying about faded fabrics or heat gain from direct sunlight, thanks to our aforementioned energy-efficient low-emissivity glass technology. Bigger sliding patio doors provide wide views and improved accessibility, both of which are desirable additions to any home.

3. Dark colors – Dark colors are becoming a staple of modern architecture. These rich hues add a sense of drama and make a house stand out from the crowd. Not surprisingly, the use of dark colors have now spread to components such as roofs, siding and trim. This is why we offer dark colors, such as Terratone®, for our patio door exterior and black for our replacement windows.

4. Sustainability – More homeowners are becoming aware of the benefits of products that create less environmental impact. Renewal by Andersen replacement windows and patio doors are well ahead of this trend; our parent company Andersen® Corporation has been a dedicated supporter of sustainable practices for decades. Our Fibrex® material window frames contain 40% wood fiber by weight, reclaimed from our patio door wood trimmings. Plus, our High-Performance Low-E4 glass contains at least 12% reclaimed glass by weight.

Be ahead of these trends with our sliding and French doors. To know more about our patio door options, call Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta today at (866) 609-5033 or fill out our contact form to schedule a free estimate and in-home consultation. We serve Atlanta and Marietta, GA.
