When you want to flood a room with light, connect your interior to an outdoor living space, and do it without sacrificing floor space, sliding glass doors are the clear choice. They move horizontally on a track rather than swinging open, so furniture, deck railings, and tight layouts are never a compromise.Windsor homeowners replacing a front door want something that performs through Ontario winters, looks great year after year, and demands as little upkeep as possible. Fibreglass delivers all three.
Advanced Home Services has been supplying and installing sliding doors throughout Windsor-Essex since 1989 — 37 years of in-house expertise, no subcontractors, and a Platinum Warranty on every installation. Whether you’re replacing a worn-out track door or adding a brand-new opening, our team handles the full project from precise measurement to final cleanup.
The most popular choice for residential sliding doors in Ontario. Vinyl frames resist rot, moisture, and corrosion, require no painting or staining, and deliver excellent thermal performance — available in white, beige, and a range of woodgrain and solid-colour foil finishes.
A slimmer profile and more contemporary look, with greater rigidity for large-opening applications. Modern thermally broken aluminum frames address the conductivity concerns of older aluminum products and are suitable for Ontario’s climate when specified correctly.
A hinged patio door needs up to four feet of swing clearance inside or outside your home. Sliding doors move horizontally on a track, so the full floor area in front of the door stays usable — furniture can sit flush against the wall without interfering with operation.
Large glass panels function almost like a picture window, bringing daylight deep into the room when closed. Windsor's lake-effect seasons make every sunlit hour valuable — upgrading to a sliding unit can visibly brighten a space with no electrical work.
Multi-point locks engage at the top, middle, and bottom of the door simultaneously, resisting both lifting and lateral force — a meaningful upgrade over single-hook latch doors. We recommend multi-point hardware, plus an anti-lift pin, on every new installation.
Quality tandem roller carriages with sealed stainless steel bearings keep the door gliding effortlessly year after year — without the binding and dragging that plagues worn-out track doors. Our products are specified with rollers rated for long-term residential use.
Vacuum or brush the track channel regularly to remove dirt and grit — the primary cause of roller wear. Once or twice a year, wipe the track clean and apply a silicone-based lubricant (avoid oil-based, which attracts dirt). If the door starts to drag or jump the track, contact us early to prevent bigger damage.
A modern sliding door with ENERGY STAR certification, Low-E glass, argon fill, and multi-point locking performs comparably to most hinged patio doors in real-world conditions. The glass unit — not the operating hardware — accounts for the majority of heat loss, so glass specification matters more than door type alone.
Modern sliding doors with multi-point locking are significantly more secure than older single-hook latch doors, resisting both lifting and lateral force. We also recommend a door bar or anti-lift pin as an inexpensive secondary measure, along with optional anti-shatter safety glass.
Yes. A pet door panel insert can fit into the track in place of the screen, or some units can be ordered with a pet door built directly into the lower portion of the fixed panel. We’ll discuss both options based on your configuration and your pet’s size during your consultation.
Most single sliding door installations are completed in a single day, typically taking three to five hours depending on the condition of the existing opening and any trim work required. Lead time from order to installation depends on current factory scheduling, which we’ll confirm at order time.
Sliding doors move horizontally on a track and need no swing clearance, making them the practical choice for tight rooms or narrow decks. Hinged doors, including French-style patio doors, need clearance to swing but carry a more traditional, formal look that suits heritage homes.
Yes. We serve homeowners throughout the region, including Windsor, LaSalle, Tecumseh, Amherstburg, Essex, Lakeshore, and Kingsville. After 37 years in Windsor-Essex, our team understands the exposure conditions and building styles specific to each community.
