Doors
Patio doors serve as more than just an entryway to an outdoor space — they allow for the seamless integration of interior and exterior living areas. They invite natural light in, provide views of a home’s natural surroundings and enhance its aesthetic appeal.
When chosen properly, patio doors can also provide added home security and energy efficiency, ensuring homeowners and guests feel safe and comfortable at all times.
Whether embarking on a new build or are looking for the perfect patio door replacement, Page Lumber’s team of experts are here to help find the best option for your design needs.

Choosing the Right Patio Door Material
Patio doors come in a range of materials, including vinyl, wood, aluminum and more. When choosing the right patio door material, there are a few factors to consider:
● Aesthetics: For many homeowners, design is just as important as function. The selected material should complement the home’s aesthetic. Vinyl, for example, comes in an array of colors, whereas wood provides a classic, elegant aesthetic.
● Budget: Budget is often a good place to start when selecting the right patio door material. Vinyl is more budget-friendly, while materials like fiberglass and aluminum are more costly.
● Climate: Local climate matters when selecting a patio door. Patio doors in areas that experience extreme weather conditions can see more significant wear and tear if their material is not chosen with the climate in mind. For example, those who live in areas with high humidity may want to think twice before purchasing a wood door as it will require more maintenance and upkeep.
● Energy Efficiency: Materials with high insulation and double- or triple-paned glass can reduce energy costs, especially in areas prone to extreme temperatures.
● Maintenance Needs: Some clients are okay with regular maintenance, while others prefer to wipe their patio doors down only as needed. When selecting a patio door, consider your client’s budget and tolerance for regular upkeep.
Standard Sizes of Doors
When measuring the door space, precision and accuracy are essential to ensure a proper fit. Fortunately, standard-sized patio doors fit in most homes. However, Page Lumber provides custom sizing for projects that require additional unique measurements.
Purchasing and Installing Doors
When purchasing the right patio door for a specific space, it is paramount to consider location and aesthetic needs. Making an informed purchasing decision — by researching manufacturers and even seeing the door in person — can help you avoid any setbacks.
Similarly, the installation process should be carefully planned to ensure that the door is energy-efficient, durable and functions well. By working with Page Lumber’s team of experts, you will have a team of professionals who understand the technicalities involved in installing high-quality patio doors.
