Why is patio doors different in East County San Diego?
Patio sliding doors in El Cajon, Santee, and Lakeside face west or south on most homes, which means they're taking direct afternoon sun exposure in a climate where summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees. Low-E dual-pane glass is non-negotiable for a patio slider in this region, an uncoated dual-pane slider facing west is still a significant radiant heat source in a living room or kitchen on a summer afternoon. The insured crews we refer install vinyl frames with reinforced corner joints that handle the thermal cycling of East County without loosening at the track mount. The track hardware and roller system should be stainless or polymer-coated, since standard zinc hardware in this dry heat environment seizes within a few years.
