At Acre Windows & Doors, we often see how one well-planned upgrade can completely change how a space feels and functions. For this featured project in Skippack, PA, our team helped a homeowner rethink their patio door by replacing an older hinged unit with an Andersen Narroline sliding patio door — a change that delivered both immediate and long-term benefits.
This project is a great example of how improving everyday usability can make a noticeable difference in comfort, layout, and overall enjoyment of a home.
Project Overview
The homeowner reached out to Acre Windows & Doors looking for a solution that would better support how they use their living space. Their existing hinged patio door had become increasingly restrictive, particularly in a room where furniture placement and traffic flow mattered.
The goals for this project included:
- Enhancing natural light and outdoor views
- Creating a more open, functional interior layout
- Upgrading to a durable, dependable patio door system
- Eliminating the floor space required for a swinging door
- Choosing a design that would complement the home’s existing style
After reviewing the space and discussing daily use, our team recommended the Andersen Narroline sliding patio door. This model offers a classic look with narrow profiles that maximize glass area while providing smooth, reliable performance — making it an ideal fit for this home.

Why the Andersen Narroline Sliding Door Was the Right Choice
The Andersen Narroline sliding patio door is a popular choice for homeowners who want a balance of performance, simplicity, and timeless design. Its sliding operation removes the need for clearance space, which immediately improves how a room can be arranged and used.
Key benefits of the Narroline sliding door include:

- Energy-efficient construction designed for year-round comfort
- A clean, understated look that fits many home styles
For this Skippack home, these features aligned perfectly with the homeowner’s priorities.
Installation Highlights
Our experienced installation team began by carefully removing the existing hinged patio door and inspecting the opening. Proper preparation is essential to ensure long-term performance, so the opening was adjusted and sealed as needed to create a tight, weather-resistant fit.
Protective coverings were used throughout the process to keep the surrounding area clean and minimize disruption inside the home. The installation was completed efficiently and with attention to detail, allowing the homeowner to begin enjoying their new sliding patio door right away.
The Result
The completed upgrade delivers noticeable improvements throughout the space, including:
- A more open and flexible room layout with no door swing interference
- Easier movement between indoor and outdoor living areas
- Improved natural light and clearer backyard views
- A cleaner, more modern feel without changing the home’s footprint
