Sliding French Doors Add Traditional Flair to Patio Entrance

When a homeowner says they’re looking for something a little unique, Pella delivers. That was the case for this Williamsburg, Virginia project. The homeowner was ready to replace two sets of standard sliding glass doors and wanted to move from a two-panel setup to a quad configuration.

When it came to selecting a new door, the homeowner knew they wanted a traditional patio door that complemented the style of the house. Pella Reserve - Traditional was the perfect fit as it features thoughtfully designed doors that add elegance to any space. Opting for French sliding doors ensured a classic, grand entrance that still made visitors feel welcome. The authentic style and classic finish of Bright Brass sliding patio door hardware adds personality and sophistication to the doors.

By choosing sliding patio doors that glide open and closed along a track, the homeowner saves space in tight areas. This selection provides them with the look of French patio doors without requiring the additional space typically needed to open hinged doors. Designed for durability, these Pella Reserve patio doors feature exclusive wood protection and long-lasting performance. The design helps reduce the potential to absorb moisture and the three-way corner joint adds strength. This gives the homeowner peace of mind knowing they’ve chosen a naturally durable product that delivers year-round performance and exceptional energy efficiency.

Not only does the French sliding door design make this patio stand out, but the custom grilles for the transom window give it a completely unique look. The special-shape transom window above the patio doors allows more natural light into the home and adds stunning design interest. With a gentle, curved shape, the one-of-a-kind grille pattern complements the traditional-style home. The grilles also enhance the home’s architectural style by giving the appearance of individual windowpanes.

The homeowner was amazed to see the difference new patio doors made. The new French sliding doors with Vanilla Cream exterior color and Bright Brass hardware bring an unparalleled sense of elegance. And this is just one of many examples in which real-life homeowners have upgraded the style and comfort of their homes using Pella patio doors. Want to see more?
