Entry Doors
The right exterior door can add beauty and value to your home. It can also project strength and security to guests and neighbors. Whether you are looking to upgrade your old entry doors or want to install new ones, experts can help. They will help you select the perfect style and design to suit your taste.
A wide range of styles are available for your home’s entry doors, from hinged and sliding to French doors and double-doors. You can choose from fiberglass and steel options that resist intruders, severe weather conditions, and rot. Fiberglass doors are ideal for homeowners who prioritize durability and energy efficiency. They are available in a variety of aesthetic choices and are easy to maintain.
The JELD-WEN Wood Series provides a classic look for any architectural style. It features a selection of unique lite configurations and sidelites to complement your home’s architectural aesthetics. These doors are durable and require regular maintenance to prevent warping and rotting.
Sliding Doors
Sliding doors (also known as gliding doors) have become an architectural staple, not only for their practicality but also as an aesthetic addition to residential and commercial interiors. They allow the free flow of space while letting in plenty of natural light and providing unobstructed views of outdoor scenery.
Sleek, modern frames and panels are popular for their clean lines that make your home look contemporary. Thin frames also put the focus on your view outside, especially when you choose black frames.
Depending on your space and needs, you can choose from a range of sliding door types. Pocket sliding doors can save on space by opening into a compartment within the wall, while telescopic sliding doors consist of multiple glass panels to accommodate wider openings.
Sliding door installation typically starts with setting up the frame in the new opening, which involves using a level and shims to ensure it’s properly aligned. Once it’s in place, the individual sliding panels are carefully hung.
French Doors
French doors, also known as hinged patio doors or garden doors, feature a wide choice of glass panels framed by wood or other sturdy materials. The frames can either be a single large pane or individual, divided lite patterns reminiscent of the original French windows that inspired them. Today’s doors are insulated and can be designed to optimize energy efficiency and noise reduction for your climate.
They work well in pairs and open wider than sliding doors, creating a larger passageway ideal for letting in more light and fresh air. They can also be designed to meet a variety of architectural styles.
Exterior French doors can be a beautiful addition to any home. Whether you want to create a sunny passageway between your living and dining rooms or simply see more of your yard from the kitchen, they’re a lovely option. Most are prehung and complete with sills, weatherstripping and optional grilles to help you customize the look.
