The Problem: An Old, Leaking Patio Door
A homeowner in Leawood, KS, contacted us for a free estimate after being referred by a previous Windura customer. He needed an inspection of his hinged patio door, which had wood rot and water leaks. This was the original wood French patio door that was installed when the house was built around 25 years ago. It featured a nicely stained interior finish and protruding wood grids. Despite these nice features, it was obvious that the door was due for replacement.
The Solution: A Worry-Free, Fiberglass Patio Door
Unlike sliding patio doors, hinged patio doors (also known as French doors) can be built in several different configurations to best suit the flow of the home and the needs of the homeowner. This particular door was built with only one active panel, which helped reduce cost a bit; however, it could also be built with both panels operable to allow for a larger opening.
Windura offers a complete line of premium replacement windows and patio doors. These doors have a fiberglass exterior for exceptional frame strength and durability, and a wood interior for a warm, stained, or painted look inside. Prior to installation, Windura custom-stained this door to perfectly match the homeowner’s existing woodwork and trim. The team also stained the protruding SDL grids in the door to match, resulting in a fantastic appearance.
Our skilled installation crew (never subcontractors) installed a replacement patio door, complete with new PVC exterior trim for enhanced durability and rot resistance. We also expertly resealed the opening to prevent future water leaks and wood rot. Additionally, we custom-built a framed picture window unit above the door to accommodate the homeowner’s beautiful stained glass piece. The result is a stunning new patio door that seamlessly complements the house. Please get in touch with us today for a free quote!
