Patio Doors in North Riverside, IL
A patio door does more than provide access to a backyard, deck, or patio. With a large glass area and the right configuration, it can bring more natural light into the home, expand outdoor views, and strengthen the connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Valdicass Inc. installs Pella® patio doors in North Riverside, Illinois, with sliding and hinged configurations available in a variety of materials, finishes, glass options, grille patterns, and hardware styles.
Whether you’re replacing an existing patio door or considering a larger opening, our team can help you select a Pella door and installation approach suited to your home.
Pella Patio Doors
Pella offers patio doors in different materials and configurations, giving homeowners options for both traditional and contemporary homes.
Depending on the Pella product selected, available choices can include different:
- Door configurations
- Frame materials
- Interior and exterior finishes
- Glass packages
- Low-E glass options
- Grille patterns
- Screens
- Hardware styles and finishes
Valdicass can help you compare these options based on your home’s architecture, opening size, desired appearance, operation, energy-performance goals, and budget.
Sliding Patio Doors
Sliding patio doors are a practical choice when homeowners want expansive glass without requiring space for a swinging door.
The panels operate horizontally, making sliding doors especially useful in rooms where furniture, walkways, decks, or patios limit the available space around the opening.
Large glass areas can also bring substantial natural light into the room while maintaining broad views of the exterior.
Depending on the Pella product and configuration you select, you may have options for materials, glass packages, grille patterns, finishes, and hardware.
Hinged & French Patio Doors
For homeowners who prefer a more traditional entrance, hinged patio doors can provide a distinctive architectural appearance.
Often associated with French-door designs, hinged patio doors can work particularly well in dining rooms, family rooms, and other spaces where the door is intended to become a prominent design feature.
Pella offers different configurations and customization options depending on the product selected.
Replacing an Existing Patio Door
Many projects involve replacing an existing patio door while keeping the opening roughly the same size.
Before ordering the new unit, Valdicass evaluates the existing door, measurements, frame, threshold, surrounding exterior materials, and interior finishes.
This allows us to plan not only for the new patio door itself but also for how it will integrate with the existing home.
Creating a Larger Patio Door Opening
Not every patio-door project has to remain within the existing opening.
In some homes, a larger opening can create a more dramatic connection between the interior and outdoor living area.
Valdicass can evaluate projects that modify an existing opening or create a larger patio-door configuration.
Projects that change an opening’s size can involve additional structural and finishing considerations, so they require more planning than a straightforward replacement.
Energy-Efficient Patio Doors
Because patio doors contain substantial areas of glass, energy performance can be an important consideration.
Depending on the Pella product and configuration, homeowners may have options for insulating glass, Low-E coatings, and other performance features.
However, glass specifications are only one part of the completed door system.
Proper sizing, installation, insulation, perimeter sealing, weatherstripping, threshold details, and adjustments can all affect the performance of the finished opening.
Professional Patio Door Installation
A patio door must be installed and adjusted correctly for smooth operation and proper integration with the surrounding structure.
Depending on the project, installation may include removing the existing door and frame, preparing the opening, positioning and securing the new door, insulating and sealing, adjusting panels and hardware, and finishing the interior and exterior.
Valdicass considers the complete installation, not just another product placed into an opening.
