Aluminum sliding glass doors are a top choice for modern and contemporary homes due to their sleek and durable design. Their strength and ability to support large glass panels make them an excellent choice for oversized patio doors. They are also low maintenance and energy-efficient, providing good insulation.

While vinyl windows are generally less expensive than aluminum windows and are energy-efficient, they are not as strong or durable. Large vinyl windows may not be suitable for larger windows due to their structural limitations, limited color options and sizes, and environmental impact. uPVC patio doors can also be a good choice in some situations.
