Denver’s freeze-thaw cycles punish leaky doors. CountBricks uses NFRC-rated low-E glass, argon fill, and insulated sills that deliver up to 30 percent HVAC savings compared to legacy sliders. Our post-installation blower-door test verifies the actual improvement, and data is uploaded to your CountBricks homeowner portal.
How long does installation take?
Most replacements complete in one day; new rough openings average two days including framing and drywall patch.
Can I see the doors before ordering?
Yes. Our mobile showroom carries full-scale corner samples. Schedule a viewing at CountBricks.com/consultation.
What about HOA approvals?
Your project manager prepares spec sheets and color swatches tailored to HOA guidelines, expediting approval.
• Choose composite frames if your elevation exceeds 6,000 feet for superior dimensional stability
• Add multi-point locking hardware to deter prying in high-wind zones
• Opt for interior mini-blinds to reduce furniture UV fade without curtains
• Specify a bronze sill cover to hide scuffs from winter boot traffic
• Confirm swing direction early—inswing doors require protected eaves to avoid snow buildup
