If you are looking at patio doors in Canmore, the unit is doing two jobs at once: it has to operate smoothly through the Bow Valley's freeze-thaw winters and it has to deliver a tight enough air seal to stop draughts in your living room. We install three common patio door styles, each with different strengths for our climate. Every quote we issue defaults to triple-pane glazing with low-E argon, multi-point locking, and a brush-and-fin weatherstrip system rated for sub-zero temperatures.
Patio Door Styles We Install
Sliding
The most common patio door. Two or more panels glide horizontally on a track. Modern sliders with brush weatherstripping and multi-point locks perform well in our climate without giving up the wide unobstructed view.
Best balance of cost, view, and seal.
French
Two hinged panels that swing inward or outward. The tightest seal of any operable patio door because both panels compress into the frame when closed. Best aesthetic for traditional and heritage homes.
Tightest air seal.
Lift-and-slide
Premium European-style operation. Lifting the handle raises the panel off a perimeter gasket onto a roller. Closing drops the panel back onto the gasket. Spans up to 24 feet are possible.
Best for large-format mountain views.
Why we are different on patio doors
Triple-pane default
Patio doors are the largest single piece of glass in most Canmore homes. We default to triple-pane on every quote, not as an upsell.
U-factor ~0.20 standard
Multi-point locking
Standard on every door we install. Three lock points pull the sash into the frame uniformly, eliminating the air gap that builds in single-point locks over time.
3-point lock standard
Brush + fin weatherstrip
We spec dual weatherstrip systems on sliders rated to minus 40. Single-strip seals fail within 5 years in our climate.
Rated to minus 40 degrees
