Anlin Patio Doors – No Longer Offered at Custom Exteriors

At Custom Exteriors, we previously offered Anlin Patio Doors as part of our vinyl product selection. While Anlin was known for producing affordable vinyl patio doors, we’ve made the decision to exclusively carry fiberglass patio doors instead. After years of experience working with homeowners across the East Bay, we found that fiberglass delivers better durability, energy efficiency, and long-term value than vinyl—making it the smarter investment for your home.

Why We No Longer Carry Vinyl Patio Doors

Vinyl patio doors, including Anlin’s, were once a popular choice for homeowners looking for a cost-effective way to bring light and outdoor access into their homes. However, our East Bay climate—ranging from hot, dry summers in Pleasanton and Livermore to cool, damp winters in Oakland and Berkeley—quickly revealed the shortcomings of vinyl. Over time, vinyl can warp, crack, fade, and become brittle, leading to drafts, sticky operation, and higher maintenance.

Because we’re committed to providing products that stand the test of time, we now recommend fiberglass patio doors instead.

The Benefits of Fiberglass Patio Doors

Today, we proudly carry Infinity from Marvin® fiberglass patio doors, which combine lasting strength with timeless beauty. Here’s why they outperform vinyl in every way:

  • Strength & Stability – Fiberglass is 8x stronger than vinyl, so doors remain square and true, ensuring smooth, reliable operation for decades.
  • Energy Efficiency – Tight seals and high-performance glass help maintain indoor comfort while lowering energy bills.
  • Low Maintenance – Unlike vinyl, fiberglass resists swelling, warping, and fading—no painting, staining, or constant upkeep required.
  • Timeless Aesthetics – Slimmer frames allow for more glass and bigger views, enhancing your connection to the outdoors.
  • Design Versatility – Choose from sliding, French, or bi-fold configurations to perfectly complement your home’s style and function.

A Better Long-Term Investment for East Bay Homes

Your patio door is more than just an entryway—it’s a focal point that connects your indoor and outdoor spaces. By choosing fiberglass over vinyl, you’ll enjoy a door that’s not only beautiful but built to last through decades of East Bay weather conditions. With Infinity from Marvin®, you can achieve the same convenience of sliding or hinged patio doors that Anlin once offered, but with far superior performance, durability, and resale value.

If you landed on this page searching for Anlin Patio Doors, we encourage you to explore our fiberglass patio door options—a product line designed to exceed expectations and deliver lasting value for your home.

"Loved working with Custom Exteriors. Very responsive to inquiries. Precise in their measurements, estimate and timeframe for completion. Highly recommend them."

"Custom Exteriors provided a great product and good service in replacing 2 sliding glass doors and 2 other windows in my townhouse.  One was a custom window that required extra work in refitting the plantation shutters to the new window.  Although there were some bumps along the way, Jeff and his foreman Ryan excelled at follow up.  I would recommend Custom Exteriors."

"Kevin one of the owners of Custom Exteriors contacted me the following day and immediately tried to make things right. The first thing, I was impressed about was he took my call without hesitation. Many medium sized business will bounce me around to different people before finally being able to talk to the owner. He was an attentive listener and took to the time understand my needs and wants in an exterior entry door.His communication was top notch, sending me estimates the same day or the following day. He gave me choices in fiberglass doors: ProVia and Therma-Tru, hardware: Trilennium vs Emtek, and single point vs multiple point locks. I just ordered a ProVia doors through Kevin. This surprised both to my husband and me. Before contacting Custom Exteriors, we thought we were going to get a Therma-Tru door, but that totally changed once we the information we needed from Kevin. I get the sense that he truly wants to give customers options and information, but respects the customer's final decision. There is not high pressure sale pitch. Kevin wants customers to be informed and happy with the end product."
