In this article, emergency roof repair contractor Brewster Roofing LLC weighs in on whether your patio door should match your windows.
To Match or Not to Match?
The short answer: not really. Since patio doors should also be functional, you might be better off considering upgrading your patio door’s practical features. If you do, however, want to introduce balance and harmony to your home’s exteriors, you can just match your doors and windows to your home’s architectural style.
As such, here’s a simple guide you can use to help you build a better-looking home.
Craftsman
While Craftsman style homes possess a unique charm, there are a few features that can boost their appearance. For instance, gutter companies would suggest copper or aluminum gutters to complement the architectural style. As for windows and patio doors, the theme is decorative glass and wood.
Contemporary
Modern homes are characterized by clean lines and sleek, asymmetrical design elements. Sliding patio doors and windows suit the contemporary home aesthetic best.
Traditional
If your home has traditional architectural features, consider double-hung windows paired with patio doors made of wood or fiberglass. This design combo will help preserve the look of your Colonial, Cape Cod, or Georgian style home.
