Windows and Exterior Doors

Invite the beautiful outdoors inside!



How do we open your new home to the world? You guessed it, doors and windows. Windows are my favorite part of any home. So this is the area I will choose to open this topic, we will start with basic window styles and for this section I am thinking more along the lines of how the window operates or opens. The multitude of different types or styles gives you so much room for creativity.

Our next in depth topic will lead us to explore is Beautiful Wood Windows


As market statistics say these are still the larges category of materials used. I have seen a large market swing into the use of vinyl windows. One of our featured products is the Kolbe Latitude Vinyl Windows just rated a Consumers Digest Best Buy in Premium Vinyl Windows. Our last option to consider here will be the product line of
METAL FRAME WINDOWS In each of these sections I will be covering in great detail subtopics like jamb extensions, and mutton bars just to name a couple. I can’t leave this part without touching on the specialty category of ROOF WINDOWS and skylights as these are very popular and modern products are much better than products produced years ago. My last topic in windows will be the area of SPECIALTY GLASS This topic will give you some wonderful custom options to make your home one of a kind without breaking the bank.

So now we will shift our attention to the other end of closing out the exterior. Let start dicussing Entry Doors. I want to start this section with a review of Door Selection Pitfalls The top 10 things to remember when selecting a new door. Then we will focus on the topic of BASIC DOOR TYPES Here we will cover the way different door and sidelight combinations might come together. Once we have a sense of lay out we will cover the options of an Exterior Wood Door And weigh the benefits as it compares to a Steel Entry Doors

We will round out this area with the durable Fiberglass Entry Door

Of course we will cover the finishing and maintenance difference of each as these are often overlooked by the star struck beauty of the doors themselves. Many people don’t realize until they are moved in that many of these doors have regular ongoing annual maintenance to preserve their beauty. A section on exterior openings could not be complete without covering the topic of GARAGE DOORS

So we will cover this topic in a great article including all the related components. I will finish out this section of the site with a look at modern STORM DOORS


By this point you should have a pretty good overview of the components that bring the world into your home and allow you to enjoy the beauty of the world around you from the comfort of your new home.
