Broken Seals
If you notice that when you clean your patio door that it still has condensation or fog stuck between the glass, you may want to consider getting a new patio door. If this unique type of problem is taking place with your door this means that the seal of the door is not functioning any longer. If this happens fog can get stuck between the inside of the panels of glass. Not only does this condensation make it hard to see out your glass, it also drags down energy efficiency. In fact, doors which have broken seals don’t prevent breezes from coming right into your own home. Get your patio door replaced if you have a broken seal.
Door Won’t Slide
If your door won’t slide you have another problem altogether. Patio Doors need to be functional and easy to use since they are the second most used door in the home.
