Benefits of Adding Sliding Glass Doors to Small Spaces

Sometimes, a small change can make a big difference. Smaller rooms that have access to a ground floor or deck may benefit from the installation of either a new sliding glass door or a larger sliding glass door. These doors, which can look great on any size property, can have a particularly noticeable benefit to smaller spaces that otherwise did not have access to the exterior of a property.

Why You Should Consider a New Sliding Glass Door?

As a window contractor that specializes in new construction, CECS is able to install sliding glass doors where no door currently exists, and we can expand on existing sliding glass doors so that the door is larger and takes up a bigger portion of the wall.

There are many benefits to adding these doors, including:

• Natural Lighting – Natural lighting is healthier, saves money on energy bills, and makes a property look brighter and more inviting. Sliding glass doors let in more natural light, and in small spaces the amount of light is very noticeable.
• Looks Larger – Sliding glass doors can make spaces look much larger than they are. The clarity essentially brings the outdoors indoors, making the room feel as though it is open and airy rather than cramped or small.
• Improved Resale Value – Sliding glass doors create a wow factor that makes homes more valuable. When someone feels cramped in an enclosed space, they feel less likely to want to purchase the property. But when they feel that a space is warm and open, square footage matters less.
• Space Saving – Sliding glass doors do not use hinges. For small rooms that already had exterior doors that were made of wood, sliding glass doors offer an alternative that requires much less space as it doesn’t swing open.
• Potentially Energy Saving – Sliding glass doors with high energy efficiency ratings have a tendency to help people save money by allowing them to open the door and let in cool air without running the AC. While it’s true that it can be quite hot here in the Sacramento area, small spaces can also warm up or cool down faster than large spaces, and using the door correctly can provide some relief from energy bills and exterior temperature.

One of the things that makes California Energy Consultant Service different is that we are also able to provide new construction. That’s an approach to sliding glass door and window installation that involves installing these doors where no door was before. Not all sliding glass door and window companies are able to provide that service, but our team here at CECS has all the resources and people we need to make sure that your property’s sliding glass doors are installed correctly.
