Cold glass
A big glass door is the coldest surface in the room on a winter morning, and moisture condenses on it. Open the louvers on cold days so warm air reaches the glass, and wipe off any condensation before it reaches the wood.
Balcony doors
With 56% of homes in multi-unit buildings, many patio doors here open onto a balcony. Bifold panels fold back in pairs and need little floor space; check what your HOA or building allows to show through the glass.
Older door openings
84% of homes are decades old, and older door openings settle. Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom; a mounting frame gives the track a straight line to run on.
Patio and balcony doors in Milwaukee
56% of Milwaukee's homes are apartments or condos, where the balcony door is often the largest glass in the home. Bypass panels suit them: they slide on a track and never swing into the room.
6.8% of people here are under five, more than in 84% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. Blinds on patio doors often run on a cord or chain; shutter panels have none. In West Allis, 5 miles away, 5.6% of people are under five, fewer than here.
