Sliding glass doors

Opening the living room to the garden

Narrow black frames replaced an old slider and doubled the view of the backyard from the sofa.

Black-framed sliding glass door opening onto a garden patio
Design visualization based on real product sizes and finishes.

In this design, an old slider with wide, worn frames made the living room feel closed off from the garden.

Slimmer frames, bigger view

An aluminum sliding patio door with narrow black frames replaces the old unit in the same opening, so much more of the view is glass.

  • 96 in x 80 in two-panel slider.
  • Thermally broken frames with low-E double glazing.
  • Matte black finish to match new window frames.

Planning the swap

Measure the rough opening at three points and use the smallest. Exterior doors need careful leveling and flashing, so many owners hire a pro.

Follow our measuring guide before you order, and ask for a custom quote if your opening is not a listed size.
