Very cool details and one benefit for French doors is if you open both doors then you can get a very wide opening

[@sarahdesrocher301]

We have a French door with double screen door. I love how both sides open, plus such a breeze for large items . We had our new couch delivered through that and moved most of our furniture ourselves through it too.

[@maryd253]

We replaced French doors with sliders and are very happy with screens, ventilation and security features. 👍

[@vbvini]

the old broom handle in the track for a sliding door never fails😂

[@sentb5744]

This was very helpful. Thank you. And I appreciate you including the average cost.

[@hikgerguy1234]

Great info! Thanks very much for putting this together. We're looking to replace our 23 year old, builder grade sliding door and were considering French doors (because we need a small doggie door). Our existing sliding door has a side panel with a doggie door. No sliding doors we've seen come with a sliding door as part of the "kit". But, given all the advantages of the sliding door, I think we're now leaning towards buying a new "side panel" and have them install it along with the new sliding door. It would be great too if you could explain how energy efficient sliding doors are compared to French doors. The seal (which is really stretching that word because it's horrible) lets all kinds of air in and every summer and winter I find myself stuffing this foam in the crack between the doors. Do today's sliding doors seal better than the old ones? That's my main gripe about our existing door.

One big problem with sliding doors. I could not get a few of my furniture pieces through them. I need French doors to make that happen.

[@obryantribe385]

I have sliders and I hate the track. Thinking of replacing them with French.

[@Frankmaui67]

I agree. It’s so 80s

[@natshorty5]

Hi how to clean the track of it especially if you have pets that shed alot? Over the years the sliding track is not a smooth slide at all. Any suggestions on cleaning it up?

[@fredesteves6618]

What is your take on sliding/hinged doors that fold like an accordion?

[@americanwindowconcepts5510]

Those are awesome! They just cost more...a lot more. But the cool thing about those doors is the ability for huge sizes due to their frame material. They usually come in heavy extruded aluminum.

"Today we're going to talk about why you should get a sliding glass door from Anlin!" That should have been the title of this video. 😒

[@azmgbbb]

He had great points. No one is forcing anyone to buy their doors. Try to look at the value of their information and then go buy whatever you want 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@himhe2610]

[@erwinllauderes432]

What about sliding door vs french sliding door... which is better and nice to look.?

[@Paulette-jx6tj]

how about weather? the cold windy Canadian weather. which is better?

[@hikgerguy1234]

That's a big question I have as well.

[@morrigan908]

This video is clearly mistitled. It should be "Why You Should Get a Sliding Door," with a subtitle of, "And All the Reasons French Doors are Evil." I'll be adding this channel to my never recommended list.

[@nomomomomomom6916]

Terrible seller , bad french door ... they cost same money , I'm just pick up french door they better looking and nice solid. Probably more insulated to...

[@hikgerguy1234]

I agree with changing the title, but I think he made very valid points between the two styles.

[@stephenwilliams8350]

Sliding door it is!

[@SoulFire209]

You had me at the screen deal, great point

🪟 sliding opening/closing and tinted

[@jacobkosman500]

Hardly a side by side comparison, with pros and cons of each.

[@pinkorchid333]

Thank you!

[@ointerface]

How I'm looking at a sliding patio door vs a three or four panel sliding door. Any thoughts ?

[@shabbirahmadkhan153]

Very nice

[@Rhezoloution]

Do Sliding doors come with locks on the outside so that you can come in thru the sliding door as if it were the main way to get into the space? I want to put one on the side of my stand alone garage and would like to be able to have it locked or unlocked from the outside.

[@afterstars]

Yes

[@sdigf3167]

I HATE sliding glass doors. I want to know how to replace it with a regular door.

[@georgiahan560]

Great help ❤

[@americanwindowconcepts5510]

Glad it helped!

[@aquiline-m1590]

Do you know about Indian door? Just check doors of home in Shani shingnapur in India.

[@coolmanpeace1855]

THE COST OF FRENCH DOORS AT BIG BOX STORES ARE HALF THE COST OF SLIDING PATIO DOORS!

[@clearviewtechnical]

But French doors always have big, bulky frames and let in less light.

[@sandevieira5674]

I just don't like the look of sliders. They look cheap. I wonder can you install some type of overlay to dress them up?

[@Frankmaui67]

Man does this guy HATE French doors?!?

[@user-xs3jn3mk9f]

This is less a comparison video and more of a let me sell you a sliding door video.

[@75zoran]

insted of watching youre video, my mind is at a volume knob, sorry, good bye

You didn't say crap about the advantages of a French doors. All you did was sell sliding doors. Too much eye makeup btw.

[@benjaminfair3214]

Is he wearing makeup??
