If you’re looking to bring more natural light into your home and create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, adding a big sliding glass door is a great option. However, installing a door where there isn’t one currently requires a process known as a blowout, which involves significant structural modifications.

What’s Involved in a Blowout?

  • Reconfiguring the Framing: This process includes adding new structural supports according to engineered plans to ensure stability and compliance with building codes.
  • Choosing the Right Door: Options include multi-slide glass doors or bifold doors, depending on your style and space requirements.
  • Finishing the Exterior & Interior: After the door is installed, the surrounding brick, siding, or stucco must be refinished to match the existing exterior, while the interior requires drywall repairs and finishing.
  • Handling Electrical Work: Some projects may involve moving electrical wiring to accommodate the new door opening, requiring multiple trades to complete the work properly.
