Have a sliding glass door in the kitchen which is letting in cold air
causing a chilly kitchen.
The original was a builders grade which is 18 years old.
I want to replace the sliders with a new set and am looking for advice
on which companies make the best sliding doors. Thanks for your help

Pella
Peachtree
Anderson
Could be others that are very good too.

If you want quality, go to the dealers, not Home Depot. I bought a Pella
from a local Pella dealer and he had models that HD, across the street, did
not carry.

| Pella - WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE
| Peachtree - TOP NOTCH DOOR
| Anderson - REPAIR THEM EVERY YEAR

"ATRIUM" IS THE BEST

To replace with a new brand you will have to replace the tracts also,
IOW, total removal and replace. Why not do it right and put in real
doors? Sliders are an abortion that should be banned by the code. At
best they do not seal as well as normal doors and they are a
maintenance problem.

When I put on an addition the wife insisted that it have a sliding
door. I tried to change here mind but...so slider it was. Quality
Anderson door, and it wasn't but a couple years before she agreed with
me. Still stuck with it and still fighting the maintenance.

Harry Still stuck with it and still fighting the maintenance K

What maintenance? My old cheap door was a PITA, but the Pella that has been
in for about 12 years now is a well built 8' slider that gives us a nice
view into the woods. It has needs no maintenance at all, aside form normal
washing of the glass.

Sorry you had a bad experience, but I'd put another slider in tomorrow. We
love it, even in the very cold weather so we can watch the snow while
keeping warm.
