French Doors for La Grange Homes
La Grange has many homes where architectural details are an important part of the property’s character. A well-chosen French patio door can complement traditional architecture while creating a stronger connection between interior rooms and patios, decks, or backyards.
Wood patio doors are particularly attractive when homeowners want the warmth and detail of a traditional interior finish.
For other homes, a cleaner or more contemporary configuration may be appropriate.
Rather than approaching every project the same way, we consider the existing opening, surrounding materials, interior trim, exterior appearance, and how the homeowner wants the new doors to operate.
Replacing an Existing Patio Door
Replacing a patio door involves more than removing one unit and putting another in its place.
We carefully evaluate the existing opening for size, condition, level, water management, insulation, and surrounding finishes.
During installation, our team carefully prepares the opening before setting, insulating, sealing, and finishing the new patio door.
This attention to installation is especially important in Chicagoland, where doors face substantial temperature swings throughout the year.
Converting a Sliding Patio Door to French Doors
Some homeowners prefer the traditional appearance and operation of hinged French doors over an existing sliding patio door.
Depending on the dimensions and construction of the existing opening, it may be possible to replace a sliding patio door with a hinged patio-door system.
Valdicass can evaluate the existing opening and determine the appropriate installation approach.
Enlarging an Opening for New French Doors
Want something larger than your existing patio door?
Valdicass also handles more involved projects where an existing opening needs to be modified for a new door configuration.
These projects require careful evaluation because enlarging an opening may involve framing, headers, exterior finishes, interior trim, drywall, electrical components, or other surrounding conditions.
Our experience with windows, doors, and exterior remodeling allows us to approach these projects as more than a simple door replacement.
Energy-Efficient Patio Doors for Chicagoland
Large areas of glass make patio door performance especially important.
Modern Pella patio doors are available with insulating glass options and Low-E coatings designed to help reduce heat transfer through the glass.
Proper installation is equally important. The perimeter of the new door must be correctly insulated and sealed to help reduce drafts and air infiltration.
The result is a patio door designed to provide expansive views and natural light without sacrificing year-round comfort.
Details That Make French Doors Your Own
French patio doors can become an important architectural feature, not just another entrance to the home.
Depending on the Pella product selected, customization options may include decorative grilles, hardware finishes, exterior colors, interior wood finishes, glass packages, and other design details.
Our team can help coordinate those selections with your existing windows, interior finishes, and exterior architecture.
