What’s needed to add sliding or accordion doors between our house and a porch?
To add sliding or accordion doors between your house and a porch, several steps are involved:
- Structural Assessment: We’ll evaluate whether an existing wall needs to be opened or modified, which may involve removing or altering part of your home’s exterior.
- Proper Framing: Installing the right framing and support headers is crucial to structurally support the opening and the weight of new doors.
- Door Selection: Choose weather-resistant, energy-efficient sliding or accordion door systems for durability and comfort.
- Code Compliance: All work will be done in accordance with local building codes for safety and permit requirements.
We recommend a professional evaluation of your home and porch to plan the project and ensure everything is done safely and efficiently.
