Installing French hinged patio doors (sometimes called swinging French doors) is a great way to add instant sophistication and architectural interest to your San Diego home. French doors are considered an upgrade to more standard sliding patio doors, and they can really help your home stand out. Two-panel French hinged doors differ from two-panel sliding patio doors in that both door panels can be operable, swinging out and away from the wall on hinges. With sliding patio doors, only one panel is operable, sliding to the side on tracks. One advantage of French hinged doors over patio doors of approximately the same size, is that you get a wider opening, since both panels open. However, with French hinged doors, you do need to consider the clearance area the doors will need in order to …

BM Windows Satisfies Another Escondido Customer
While we appreciate all of the positive reviews that our customers leave for us on review sites like Yelp, we were particularly thankful for a recent review we received from Jeff E. in Escondido. Jeff worked in the window replacement business for many years as both a salesman and an installer, so he knows the business and has seen it all when it comes to replacement windows and doors. In his Yelp review, he states that he has high expectations, given his background, but BM Windows was able to fulfill all of his needs. After listening to Jeff’s wish list of features he wanted in his replacement windows and doors, we recommended Anlin products for his home. We installed eight windows and two patio doors in Jeff’s home, and he couldn’t be happier with the product and the process. Jeff …
Update Your San Diego Home with Replacement Single Slider Windows
By far the most common type of replacement windows we install in San Diego are single slider windows. Single sliders have one fixed panel of glass and a second panel called the mobile sash, which slides horizontally to open on a track or in a groove. The mobile sash can slide either to the right or the left, depending on your preference.

The difference is that you would use a single slider window in an area where you want or need a window that is horizontally oriented. You would use a single hung window when you have more limited horizontal space, but plenty of vertical space. Single sliders are an excellent choice for homeowners wishing to have a large horizontal view of the …
