5. Combine safety, privacy, and smart design
Balance the transparency of glass with the right features to increase your peace of mind and help create the privacy you need to truly feel at home. Here are the features to know:
- Tempered glass: This type of glass is harder to break and a standard option on all our doors. Laminated glass is also available for added strength, enhanced security, and increased sound control.
- Blinds-between-the-glass: Encased between the panes of glass for easy cleaning and child and pet safety, this option is available with A-Series patio doors, 400 Series Frenchwood® patio doors, and 200 Series Perma-Shield® Gliding Patio Doors.
- Patterned glass: Satin etched glass obscures the view while still allowing in light. This option is widely available with patio doors, as well as Big Doors and Entry Doors.
- Yale® Assure Lock®: This smart lock lets you lock, unlock, and monitor your home through an app. It can be added to our A-Series Hinged Patio Doors, E-Series Hinged Patio Doors, Folding Outswing Doors, MultiGlide Doors with automation, and Entry Doors.
In addition to the features above, there are so many ways to customize your door with selections that bring your style to life. From wood stain to finish color and hardware to size — consider every Andersen door customizable.
The Yale® Assure Lock® provides enhanced security for sliding and patio doors, combining smart access with stronger protection — an important factor when selecting the right patio door for your home.
