can me make our sliding glass door look like french doors?

i have sliding glass doors and I want to try to make it look like french doors. french doors have the glass panes or grilles and we want to replicate that on our sliding glass doors. we don't want to put them in the door but on the exterior..maybe drill them or glue them..don't really know. can we do that? if so how..and where would we get them? i know you can buy sliding glass doors with the french door look but we are trying to save a little money..

thanks

You can probably find a company that can make custom window grids by searching on the internet. You could get wooden grids that mount on clips, or they also make a type of adhesive tape that you could put on the glass, to give you the "look" of divided lites.

I am bidding my first finish carpentry job, before I was payed by the hour. What does one charge to hang interior doors (prehung two piece) and run window trim and base molding? Thanks for your input.

Re-Glaze and new storm windows to get ready for winter?

I know it's still summer but I like to plan a head. First off, last winter my gas heat bill was over $200 a month. I am planning on re-siding my house soon and everyone knows if your going to put new windows/Doors in THIS IS THE TIME TO DO IT! I have a 1971 raised ranch (1000 sqf) with the original double hung wood frame windows. They are in pretty good shape regardless of there age but are in dier need of re-Glazing. My questions are .. 1) Do I need new windows? 2) Are new storm windows/Doors vs the original 1970 storms going to make much of a difference? 3) From a professional POV, will re-Glazing and new storm windows/Doors be a good choice? 4) Are there any other tips you can give me to help make the windows/doors more energy efficient ?
