Living in Payson, Heber, Overgaard, Pine, or anywhere throughout Rim Country and the Gila Valley, we know the beauty around us: pine forests, expansive skies, cooler summer evenings, crisp winter mornings. What if your home could more fully embrace that natural beauty? A Western Multi-Slide door system offers just that — more than just a door, it’s a design statement and an elevated way to live.
What’s a Western Multi-Slide?
Lowery’s Window & Door offers the Western Multi-Slide series, like the Series 600, which features large rolling glass panels that can slide or fold away to create wall-like openings. When open, they blur the line between the indoors and outdoors. Key features include:
- Heavy-duty hardware, dual-paned, triple-coated low-E glass for energy efficiency. Loweryz Window & Door
- Tight seals to guard against air and water infiltration. Tested for structural performance. Loweryz Window & Door
- Custom configurations and finishes to match your vision. Loweryz Window & Door
Why It’s Especially Great for Homes in Rim Country & Gila Valley
Here are some reasons why this kind of door is especially well-suited to our area:
- Maximize the Views & Natural Light
Between mornings with mist-filled valleys and sunsets bleeding colors across the hills, you’ll want wide, unobstructed views. Multi-slides open things up dramatically, bringing more sunlight into living spaces and making every vista part of your home’s interior decor. - Indoor-Outdoor Living
Rim Country is ideal for a design that flows from indoors to out. On mild spring and fall days (or even summer mornings), you can open up a multi-slide and have your living or dining room flow into the deck or patio. It makes entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying nature feel effortless. - Energy Savings & Weather Control
Though our summers can get warm and winters chilly, the right windows and doors with low-E glass and tough seals help manage that. Western Multi-Slides are built with energy efficiency in mind — keeping your home cooler when it’s hot, warmer in the cold, reducing reliance on HVAC. Less draft, less glare, less heat gain or loss. - Aesthetic & Value Boost
If you’re building new or thinking of a remodel, multi-slides lend modern elegance and expand usable space. Homes with great indoor-outdoor connections tend to stand out in design, resale, and comfort. For prospective buyers, having that kind of stylish, flexible space often checks a lot of boxes. - Customization to Fit Local Lifestyle
Whether your home is nestled among tall pines, built on a hilltop with mountain views, or overlooking wide open desert, Lowery’s offers custom sizes, styles, and finishes so the multi-slide matches your architecture. You get something that complements rather than clashes with the landscape and climate.
New Build vs. Existing Home: Which Works Better?
- New Build: You have more flexibility with framing, layout, roof overhangs, and positioning of patios or decks. Planning with multi-slides in mind allows you to orient the home to the views, sunlight, and prevailing breeze.
- Existing Home: Even in remodels, a multi-slide installation can transform a space — removing walls, enlarging openings, replacing dated sliding doors or bifolds with something more seamless. Lowery’s team can assess what’s structurally feasible and work with you to get the look and function you want.
Things to Keep in Mind Before You Install
To get the best experience from a western multi-slide, especially in Rim Country, consider:
- Proper flashing and water management to prevent leaks.
- Roof overhangs, awnings or pergolas to protect glass panels from direct sun/rain.
- Appropriately rated glass for thermal performance (e.g. low-E, dual panes) to handle temperature swings.
- Hardware durability — the sliding mechanisms, rollers, tracks need to be rugged, since large glass panels are heavy.
