Home improvement projects are exciting. Many people eagerly look forward to decorating their house or even just a room and giving it a unique look. You can add plenty of things to the décor, but one fixture that does not get old is a sliding door.
If you have ever wanted to bask in natural light or longed for better backyard access, installing a sliding glass door is a great option. Yes, the fixture is expensive and complicated to install, but it offers 68% ROI, making it a savvy home project. There are even frameless glass options that offer a clean and open look.
Let’s take a look at the ideal places where you can install a simple or sliding glass door:
In Homes With Open Layouts
If your house has large connecting rooms and you don’t want to separate them with cement walls, interior glass doors are your best option. Current home remodeling trends include French doors with glass panels. You could install them between the living room and dining room, as the entertainment room’s entrance and the walkway that leads to the seating room.
To Separate Adjacent Rooms
You just had a baby and are considering decorating a room for him. The room adjacent to you is perfect, but you are unhappy with the wall separating it. This is where a frameless glass door comes in. It will offer a clear view into the baby’s room. You can sleep peacefully without panicking that your baby might wake up in the middle of the night without you knowing.
Benefits of a Glass Door
Makes Your Space More Attractive
Guests love a well-decorated home. It makes an excellent first impression. If you entertain your family and friends often, they will be stunned by the flawless look glass doors create. The open view from the living room into the backyard, with natural light streaming in, will make your guests feel at ease.
It makes a Room Appear Spacious
When you have a small house, decorating it can be challenging. For example, you bought a sofa set you think will look great in the living room, but the seven-seater makes the space feel too congested. This is where a sliding glass door comes in. You can connect your living room to any other room and keep the doors open to make it appear bigger.
Energy Efficiency
Modern glass doors are made with insulated glass. They let in natural light brighten your room and lowering your utility cost in summer and winter. This improves indoor air quality, preventing breathing problems.
Maintaining your sliding glass door is important. Often the track gets rusted, and the glass gets stained due to bacterial buildup. So, make a DIY cleaner with vinegar and dish soap and give it a good wipe weekly.
