Door Axis 72 in x 80 in White Composite Sliding Patio Door, Low-E Argon Glass
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
The Door Axis 72 in x 80 in White Composite Sliding Patio Door is a factory assembled two panel gliding unit built entirely from waterproof composite, with tempered Low-E argon glass and a keyed locking handle set included. It serves coastal, lakefront, and wet climate homes where steel patio doors rust and wood units rot, and anywhere a paintable, maintenance light slider is wanted.
Every structural part of the unit, panels, frame, and track, is solid composite around a CFC-free polyurethane foam core, so the door cannot rust like metal or rot and swell like wood, and a patented water draining system moves incidental water back outside. The 1-3/4 in thick flush glazed panels carry tempered Low-E insulated glass with argon fill, rated at a 0.27 U-factor and 0.27 solar heat gain coefficient, and the gliding panel runs on adjustable stainless steel rollers. The handle set with keyed exterior lock and a flush bolt auxiliary lock come installed, and the smooth surface takes paint on both faces. The call size matches the opening: order for a 72 in x 80 in opening and the factory undersized unit at 71-1/4 in x 79-1/2 in sets with proper shim space. Choose the slide direction from outside, and pick the all white finish or a woodgrain textured interior face.

Installation Notes
- Verify the opening at 72 in x 80 in, measured at three points each way; the unit arrives factory undersized at 71-1/4 in x 79-1/2 in to fit with shim space.
- Install a sill pan and integrate flashing with the water resistive barrier; the composite sill must bear continuously on a level subfloor.
- Set the frame plumb, level, and square, shim at the lock stile and interlock, and fasten without bowing the track.
- Adjust the stainless steel rollers after setting so the gliding panel runs true and the keyed lock and flush bolt engage smoothly.
- Paint is optional on the composite faces; if painting, use a quality exterior acrylic and keep the weatherstripping and rollers clear.
Warranty and Support
- Limited lifetime manufacturer-backed warranty, confirmed during quote review.
- Quote review confirms slide direction, finish selection, and opening dimensions before release.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is composite better than steel or vinyl for a patio door?
The panels and frame are solid waterproof composite, so the unit cannot rust like steel or rot like wood, and it holds paint better than vinyl. It suits coastal and wet climates where other materials fail early.
Which slide direction do I order?
Stand outside facing the door. If the moving panel should glide from the right toward the left, order Right-Hand Slide; the mirror layout is Left-Hand Slide.
What do the finish options change?
Smooth White is white on both faces. White with Woodgrain Interior keeps the white exterior and adds a woodgrain textured interior face that can be painted or left as shipped. Both finishes are paintable.
Is a screen included?
No, the insect screen for this platform is sold separately and can be added during quote review.
