 PGT

The WinGuard Sliding Glass Door Series 730 comes standard with PGT's impact-resistant laminated glass, which uses a special PVB layer heat-pressed between two pieces of glass to keep the pane from shattering if debris hits it.

Jeld-Wen
 

More flair is key to the Exterior Folding Door System, according to Jeld-Wen. The latest option offers a true 90-degree corner that can be completely opened to the outdoors. This is achieved with two folding door units that meet at the corner where two walls would ordinarily join. Beveled door edges and double weatherstrips ensure the doors are sealed against the elements. For FREE information, visit http://pb.ims.ca/5338-139
