We had French doors and replaced them with sliding glass doors with the blinds between the glass. LOVE them!

What brand door did you buy? How much was it with installation?
Thank you for your reply. I wil have to check out the thermastar Door.
Hi, I am having a bit of trouble finding new construction vinyl casement windows with both black/dark brown exterior and interior finishes. The house has 65 windows. Lots of Companies make the dark exteriors but the interiors are white. This look and style is really becoming popular. I think many manufacturers will soon make these color options in an affordable vinyl. While searching online I found Heritage Home Design’s windows ( http://www.heritagehomedesign.ca/windows/window-options/ ) which has a variety of collections.
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions!
We are in the midst of replacing our patio doors due to the first ones rotting out. Our house was built in 2001. Turns out two of our neighbors are also replacing theirs due to rotting. We had three different builders and installed three different company's doors. The problem seems to be how the siding was installed originally. Of course, our insurance says this is not covered.
We bought a door and my husband and his brother installed and took it out three different times (three solid days work). They have both built houses. Turns out the door seems to be defective, the company said they would "file a claim" but have not sent anyone out to look at it. We had the store pick it up today and hopefully we will get our money back.
Home Depot came out yesterday to measure and quote a price. Anderson double patio doors (no screen), installed, and with the repairs of the siding above it so we don't have the problem again will cost just over $5,000. After all the hassle - these doors weigh a ton - we will probably go with that even though the front of our house is now boarded up and will stay that way until they are able to bring the new one - 4-6 weeks.
This is not a "do-it-yourself" job because of the weight of the doors and everything has to be level. READ the reviews on the company that will be doing the work. Turns out the first door we bought has terrible reviews and the company pretty much doesn't warranty anything because they blame it on the "install". Good luck!
