Replacing two patio doors

last year

last modified: last year

We are looking to replace our current french door patio door with a slider and another slider with a better slider. The current doors were installed when the house was built 40 years ago and the air leaks are insane. The Wincore 7700 was recommended for this project as we want internal blinds. Thoughts on the Wincore or suggestions for a better one? I do know that Wincore is considered a mid range product.

" I do know thst Wincore is considered a mid range profuct. "

That may be a stretch, more of a buidler grade product. Are you going custom size or is the current door a standard size?

They are standard with the current slider being 59 x 79 1/2 and the French door being 71 x 79 1/2

OK, so new would be custom then as those are no longer the standard sizes. I would stick to a vinyl then looking at an OKNA product.
