Frenchwood Gliding Patio Door Features
The sill has an extruded aluminum track, with a stainless steel cap that resists stain, rust and denting and an attractive wear-resistant, heat-baked finish in a neutral gray color.
The exterior frame is covered with rigid vinyl that maintains an attractive appearance while minimizing maintenance. The wood frame is treated with a water-repellent preservative for long-lasting protection and performance.
A flexible vinyl weatherstrip provides a positive seal between the frame and panels.
Dual ball-bearing rollers on door panels provide smooth gliding operation with self-contained leveling adjusters.
Panel joints are mortise-and-tenon with patented dowel construction for maximum strength.

Colors
Naturally occurring variations in grain, color and texture of wood make each window one-of-a-kind. All wood interiors are unfinished unless prefinished vinyl White is specified.
The exterior of the wood door panel is protected with a low-maintenance urethane base finish in White, Sandtone, Terratone or Forest Green color. Panel interior surfaces are unfinished pine, oak or maple veneer. Low-maintenance prefinished vinyl White interiors are also available on units with White exteriors.
Hardware Colors
Hardware Styles
A six-pin key cylinder lock is available in styles and finishes that coordinate with hardware and allows the door to be locked and unlocked from the exterior. (optional)
Provides an extra measure of security when the door is in a locked position. Lock can be set so the door is fully closed or partially open to provide a secure venting position. (optional)
Glass
SmartSun™ glass gives you the benefits of Low-E glass, plus it helps shield your home from the sun’s heat by filtering out harmful UV rays.
Ideal for: All Climates
SmartSun™ with HeatLock Coating is also available on 100 Series windows and doors. This prevents more heat from escaping your home but slightly reduces the visible light transmitted through the glass.
Low-E Glass reflects heat in the summer and helps to retain interior heat in the winter.
Ideal for: All Climates
Low-E with HeatLock Coating is also available on 100 Series windows and doors. This improves the U-Factor performance of the window but slightly reduces how much light comes through the glass.
HeatLock® coating reflects heat that likes to escape your home through window glass. It can be added to most of Andersen’s glass options.
If you live in a cold climate, PassiveSun® glass allows the sun to heat your home.
Ideal for: Northern Climates
Sun glass has excellent thermal performance. This glass has a subtle tint that blocks out more heat from the sun.
Ideal for: Southern Climates
Decorative and Specialty Glass
Safety GlassTempered safety glass is available on all products, and comes standard on all patio doors.
Sound-Reducing GlassThis glass helps reduce the volume of outside noise. Available with Low-E, SmartSun and HeatLock coatings.
Patterned GlassLet in light while obscuring vision and adding a unique decorative touch to your home.
Screens and Blinds
The insect screen is available for both two-panel doors and four-panel doors. Gliding insect screens have Delrin® injection-molded bottom rollers with self-contained leveling adjusters, providing smooth operation. Interior and exterior pulls and latch are provided.
The retractable insect screen is installed on the exterior of the door and opens side-to-side across the width of the opening. When the insect screen is not in use, it neatly retracts into a small canister mounted on the exterior of the door. The retractable insect screen canister is available for two-panel patio doors. Please note, retractable insect screen track reduces clear opening height by 1″.
Convenient blinds-between-the-glass are now available on select 400 Series gliding patio doors.
- White blinds are located between the panes of insulated glass, protected from dust and damage
- Glass is easy to clean without the need to move the blinds
- Cordless design to easily raise, lower or tilt blinds for control of light and privacy
- Blinds are available on select gliding patio door sizes when ordered with a White exterior, Pine or Prefinished White interior and Low-E4® tempered glass
Grill Types
Grilles applied to the interior and exterior of the window with aluminum spacers between the glass create an authentic look.
Simulated divided light offers permanent grilles on the exterior and a choice of permanent or removable wood interior grilles, with no spacer between the glass.
Finelight™ grilles are suspended between the panes of glass, allowing you to easily clean both the inside and outside of your windows and doors.
Removable interior wood grilles are secured via a fastener or grille clip and can be removed enabling you to easily clean the glass surface.

“I’ve had this door for several months now and I’m very satisfied. My old door was an Andersen and I had it for over 30 years. This one is built just as well if not better. It holds out the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter. It operates very smoothly. I highly recommend Andersen doors and windows”
