Door Size & Configuration
Standard two-panel doors run 5–8 feet wide, while multi-panel stacking units can reach 16 feet. Larger openings increase both material and structural framing costs.
Frame Material
• Vinyl: Budget-friendly and energy efficient
• Fiberglass: Stronger, colorfast, mid-range price
• Aluminum-clad wood: Premium look, highest insulation value
Glazing Options
Low-E, argon fill, and laminated glass all raise price but slash energy bills and outside noise—key in busy San Diego neighborhoods.
