Glass doors are a popular feature on many modern-styled homes, and are also fairly common on buildings with more classical styling. Very often these glass doors lead on to a patio, deck or pool area – allowing the homeowners to easily combine their indoor living area with the outdoors for a relaxed, laid back lifestyle.

Glass doors can come with a major disadvantage though – all that glass lets in a lot of sunlight, causing heat build-up inside the home, especially in the summer. It is always better for glass doors to be fitted with insulated glass to keep the heat out.
