Tulsa Riverside Oasis Gets New Backyard Patio Doors

In the bustling city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, we met the homeowners of a beautiful brick home that was in need of new backyard patio doors. The homeowners were concerned with the durability of their old doors as they weren’t sealing properly and the wood was rotting, which made their home drafty and uncomfortable. We recommended Pella® Reserve™ wood patio doors for their customization opportunities and durability.

Hinged patio doors, also known as French doors, are a classic option for all types of homes. In particular, this type of door is a very popular choice in traditional homes. These doors offer a grand entrance to the outdoor area of the home. A wall of French doors in a home adds an elegant element that matches the traditional aesthetic of the space. The traditional grille pattern the homeowners chose for these doors also helps to bring out the classic style of this home. The grille pattern for these doors also matches those used throughout the rest of the home, which delivers a cohesive look.

A major concern of these homeowners, and what ultimately led to them contacting us, was the durability of their previous patio doors. When they first built their home 15 years ago, the patio doors they installed weren’t up to the task of withstanding the wide variety of weather in the Tulsa area. After experiencing wear and deterioration with their patio doors, the homeowners tried to repaint to cover the damage, but it proved to be only a temporary solution.

With durable aluminum cladding, our wood patio doors are protected from the elements. The exterior aluminum cladding helps to resist fading, chalking, rot and corrosion. With the stormy weather that often hits the Tulsa area, these new doors are much more equipped against elements like rain and hail.

One of the best things about wood patio doors is the customization opportunities. Wood doors offer natural beauty and bring warmth to a home while also providing design flexibility. For this home in particular, we were able to make use of the custom painted trim that the homeowners already had and we matched the patio door colors to the trim. This helped save the homeowners money on their home upgrades.

The homeowners were very excited with the way this project turned out. Not only were we able to match the traditional aesthetic of this home, we also provided a much more durable and lasting option for their patio doors.
