Based on the information provided, I am going to suggest you consider either a vinyl or aluminum door.<\/p>\n    <a class=\"btn btn--info btn--small\" href=\"https:\/\/www.glass.com\/windows-and-doors\">Get an Estimate<\/a>\n\n<p>Of the two, I almost always prefer the aluminum but only if the aluminum frame for both the doors and perimeter framing are what is known as \u201cthermally broken\u201d. Thermally broken frames have a barrier inside which helps prevent thermal energy loss. The glass should be tempered insulating units and if the door faces east, west or south, I would recommend that the glass have low-e coating for energy saving purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s well-made doors slide easily and should give you years of good service. And remember, you almost always get \u201cwhat you pay for.\u201d I hope this is of some value to you and good luck with your project.<\/p>\n<p>-The Glass Detective<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are thinking about building or renovating a wine cellar, you should consider the type of door that will be used to seal the cellar shut.
