I am replacing old aluminum single pane sliding doors.

Is vinyl the way to go?

What about companies? I can get two Viking doors for the price of an Andersen. Are Viking windows decent?

Also, does anyone know any good installation links and/or review sites?

Thanks.

Just an opinion, but, I would never recommend a sliding door to anyone. I have yet to come accross one that did not eventually leak air. Some sooner than others. Have you considered a French door?

For the other part- Viking???????? That's a new one. Always remember, in windows and doors, you get what you pay for. One of the few areas in life where cost = quality.......

I would agree 100%. Don't wast your time w/ sliders. they come off the track, dirt get's in the track, the track bends etc....I just replaced mine w/ french...they look great!
