FAQs

What is the best color for a patio door?

The best color for a patio door depends on your preference and your home’s color scheme. Black and white patio doors remain among the most popular patio door colors. Marvin Replacement patio doors come in seven exterior colors and have five interior color options, including our EverWood finish, which mimics the look of wood but without the same maintenance.

What door color adds the most value?

Patio door colors that add the most value to a home depends on homeowner preference. White patio doors can add value because they can enhance the impact of natural light. Dark color patio doors can add value to bring contrast to a home.

If you’re wondering which front door color brings the most value to your home, then you’ll want to consider a black front door. A Zillow study found homes with black front doors sold for up to $6,000 more than similar houses.

Interior Colors

We use the same tough acrylic finish on our four interior color options that we use on our exterior colors. You can also choose our stainable EverWood® finish for the look of wood windows, but without the maintenance.

Replacement Patio Door Glass Options

Our Marvin Replacement experts will walk you through energy efficient glass options to find the right selection for your home. Our options include four choices of glass coatings, various tints, plus specialty glass options.

Low E Glass

E stands for emissivity, which is a material’s ability to radiate energy. The number following the “E” indicates the number of metallic layers. The coatings are thin metallic layers designed to reflect heat. Marvin Replacement patio doors have four choices of Low E coatings. The metallic coatings can appear on annealed, tempered, laminated, and our tinted glass.

Marvin Replacement Low E options are below:

  • Diagram of Low E glass coating

    Primarily used in colder climates, Low E1 allows more heat in to warm a room while blocking heat loss.

  • Diagram of Low E2 glass coating

    Low E2 offers year-round performance in moderate climates. It will help retain heat in your home during the winter and keep heat out during the summer.

  • Diagram of glass with three metallic coatings.

    Low E3 rejects solar heat while letting light in, resulting in increased performance in climates with intense sun exposure.

  • Diagram of a sun and snowflake side by side.

    Low E3/ERS provides maximum efficiency year-round in all conditions.

Specialty Glass

We offer specialty glass to best suit the needs of your home. You can choose tempered glass, laminated glass, and STC/OITC glass for specific rooms.

  • Tempered glass increases glass strength to help prevent breakage. Tempered glass is often required for patio doors and ideal for patio doors located in high-traffic areas.

  • Even more durable than tempered glass, laminated glass is often referred to as impact resistant or safety glass due to its vinyl inter layer that tends to remain in place when shattered.

  • Sound Transmission Class and Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class glass has increased pane thickness on the room side and works in areas where exterior noise is a concern.

Decorative Glass

Decorative glass options fit well for different parts of your home. Our patterned options can provide privacy and natural light while our tint options can help with sunlight glare.

Screen Options

Why choose a sliding French patio door?

Sliding French doors can part in the middle or open to one side or the other, depending on your preference.
