Series 5900 Vinyl Patio Door
Easy installation,
smooth operation, energy efficiency, weather-tight
construction and exceptional durability are the features
home-builders and home-buyers look for in a sliding patio
door.
The Series 5900 fully
welded vinyl sliding door system provides all these
features, plus attractive looks and numerous design and
glazing options.
Vinyl - The Perfect Sliding Door Material
Vinyl is rapidly
becoming the builder's - and the consumer's - material of
choice. Builders prefer vinyl's ease of installation,
sturdiness and ability to withstand construction - site
rigors; while buyers appreciate vinyl's energy efficiency,
easy operation, good looks, cleaning ease and minimal
maintenance.
The Series 5900 fully
welded main frame and sliding door panel offer exceptional
weather - tightness and superior thermal performance. And,
because it is vinyl, it will never need painting, stripping,
sanding or lubricating; providing years of lasting,
essentially maintenance - free beauty.
Easy To Install, Built To Last
The Series 5900
sliding patio door system is made from high - quality
Amerimax virgin rigid polyvinyl chloride extrusions, and
features multi - chambered construction for enhanced
strength and durability.
Featuring a fully -
welded frame and sliding panel, the Series 5900's virtually
air - and water - tight frames are exceptionally strong and
clean in appearance.
And, because the
Series 5900 is vinyl, homeowners will never have to paint,
strip, sand or lubricate their door, giving them years of
smooth and trouble - free operation while they enjoy energy
savings, dynamic views and rising home values.
The nominal 4 3/4"
vinyl frames include an integral 1 3/4" pre-punched nailer
fin for fast, weather - tight installation.
For replacement or
flat - set applications, the fin is removable without
affecting the door's structural integrity.
Series 5900 sliding
glass doors come in a wide range of standard as well as
custom sizes. Colors include white and almond.
Easy To Use
The Series 5900
sliding glass door system features tandem adjustable roller
assemblies for smooth, long - lasting and trouble - free
operation. The attractive wooden handle adds beauty and
convenience, while the combination mortise lock and keeper;
inside latch, outside key; secures the door and provides
positive anti - lift protection. (Other hardware packages
available.) And, because vinyl is self - lubricating, these
doors won't stick or bind with changes in the
weather.
High - performance
weather stripping is strategically placed to resist air
infiltration without interfering with the operation of the
door. Equal glass sight lines are not only open and
attractive, but glass replacement is easy should it ever
become necessary, because the equal glass sizes and the
outside dual - durometer snap - in glazing bead make
reglazing simple.
Energy Efficient
Unlike metal, vinyl is
a natural insulator. It is always comfortable to the touch,
no matter what the season.
Dead - air trapped
within the multi - chambered frame and hermetically sealed
insulating glass forms a thermal barrier against outside
temperatures. Energy efficiency may be further enhanced by
choosing from Low - E, gas - filled, Super Spacertm or other
available glazing options.
Wedge - shaped and
weather - stripped interlocks seal as the door closes,
pulling the sliding panel and impost together and
compressing the weather - strip to enhance strength and
weather - tightness and prevent drafts.
These energy - saving
features also work to help keep exterior noises outside,
helping create a quiet, draft - free, energy - efficient and
very comfortable home.
Features of the Series 5900 Patio Door:
Integral pre-punched
nailer fins allow fast installation and help prevent air -
and water - infiltration around the door.

high - quality, Amerimax virgin PVC extrusions.

adjustable roller assembly operation.

efficiency. Muntins, Low - E and gas - filled options
