Best Patio Doors
I'm going to do my best to profile what I consider to be the best patio doors and sliders available in the United States. Of course, not all of these brands will be available in every zip code. However, I will try and indicate the states and/or regions that these will be available for purchase through local window and door dealers.
Finally, it's probably worth noting that of course there are additional good and great sliders out there. These are simply my top picks for the best patio doors - so don't take this as a comprehensive list. If you would like to add to the discussion, please do so by sending us your patio door reviews using the email below.

ProVia Endure Patio Slider
ProVia makes some of the best patio sliders around. Windows as well, but they really shine with their doors (both patio and entry). Generally, these well built, low tolerance doors that are available in 2, 3, or 4 panels, are all vinyl, and very well insulated.
Additionally, consumers can choose from double or triple pane glass, interior woodgrain options, and an array of exterior paint colors. The ProVia Endure also comes with a BetterVue fiberglass mesh screen. Consumers can expect great performance data out of their patio sliders.

Okna Elegante 8800 Patio Slider
Okna is my number one window company and second patio slider company behind ProVia. These are very well built, low tolerance patio doors that are thermally welded, insulated, and double weatherstripped. Additionally, these have an interlocking and reinforced meeting rail, anodized aluminum screen, HeatSeal spacer. Lastly, Okna Windows offers some great hardware options and upgrades for some of the best looking patio sliders on the market today.

Soft-Lite Kingroyal Patio Doors
Soft-Lite is an excellent brand for both windows and patio doors. Their Kingroyal Patio Door is energy efficient and incorporates some great features in its design. These include a quality dual locking system, a slim looking sash and frame, triple-fin weatherstripping, R-5 ComfortFoam, Aullure handles, and a metal reinforced sash.

Polaris ThermalWeld Select Patio Doors
Polaris is probably not as well known as the brands that I just mentioned, but they are nonetheless very high quality. Their ThermalWeld Select patio doors incorporate quality foam filled extrusions, a reinforced sloped sill, foot dead bolt, zinc-plated rollers, Intercept Spacer, and some great hardware and component upgrades and options.
