Retrofit

Masonite’s patio doors are a retrofit spec. This means that customers can

use our patio doors not only in new construction, but also if they are

replacing a sliding glass door – which uses a smaller rough opening.

While we don’t make sliding glass doors, we can accommodate

customers who want to replace theirs with a French door.

The actual unit size of a nominal 72X80” patio door is 71-1/4 X 79-1/2”

Low-E Low-E is standard on all Masonite patio doors. Depending on the glass style the

customer chooses, they may have the option to choose between a soft coat and

a hard coat. Low-E soft coat is more energy efficient than the hard coat, but is

darker in color compared to the hard coat.
