Andersen 100 Series Fibrex Gliding Patio Door

The Andersen 100 Series Gliding Patio Door May Be a Great Fit for You If You’re Looking For:

• A contemporary, sleek patio door design with narrow profiles that maximize glass area for expansive views.
• A durable, low-maintenance patio door that offers excellent energy efficiency and weather resistance.
• A sustainable option made from Andersen’s proprietary Fibrex® material, which combines the strength of wood with the low-maintenance features of vinyl.
• A product with customization options to match your home’s style and a focus on environmental responsibility.

How Does the Gliding Patio Door Operate and What Are the Benefits: The Andersen 100 Series Gliding Patio Door operates with one panel that glides smoothly past the other on adjustable, easy-glide rollers. This design allows you to maximize space, as the door doesn’t require the swing area needed for hinged doors. The gliding operation is ideal for areas where you want to maintain a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, such as living rooms and patios. The door’s slim profiles and large glass panels offer expansive views and let in natural light while maintaining energy efficiency. Unlike traditional hinged doors, this gliding design is perfect for tight spaces or areas where furniture placement is a concern.

What Material Are the Door Frames: The Andersen 100 Series Gliding Patio Door is made from Fibrex® material, a composite that blends the strength and stability of wood with the low-maintenance benefits of vinyl. Fibrex® is twice as strong as vinyl and won’t fade, flake, blister, or peel. The door frames are available in several colors, allowing you to match your door to your home’s aesthetic. Fibrex® is also environmentally friendly, made with 40% reclaimed wood fiber by weight, reducing environmental impact without compromising performance.
