Wood Patio Doors Bring Home a Contemporary Vibe

Owners of this stunning new home in Hillsborough, California dreamed of windows and doors with a modern black exterior finish, neutral white interior finish and sleek design. In addition, they desired expansive glass plus exceptional energy efficiency. We were more than happy to check off everything on their wish list with clean-lined wood windows and low-profile patio doors, too. Our streamlined designs enhanced their home’s contemporary aesthetic and complemented the natural beauty surrounding it.

Wood windows and patio doors are uniquely beautiful, energy efficient and low maintenance. When planning for this new construction, wood’s inherent insulating properties made it the ideal choice for year-round comfort. Wood also is our most customizable material. It may be crafted to meet any aesthetic including traditional, modern, historic and many more. For our California clients, the Pella team provided an array of custom-design options, colors, shapes, sizes and optional features like between-the-glass blinds. As a result, each custom-made wood window created a personal and long-lasting statement for their home.

Our savvy customers in California chose to add optional black aluminum cladding to the exterior of their windows and patio doors. This highly durable layer of protection resists fade damage from the sun, extreme temperatures and moisture for years. To match your own design vision, Pella exterior cladding comes in a variety of standard colors. The option to create a unique color is also available.

Working closely with their local Pella team, these homeowners created the ideal plan for each of their new wood windows and patio doors. Whisper-quiet sliding patio doors in the living room extended living space to the outdoors. In addition, expansive glass integrated into slim sightlines brought in more natural light and enhanced scenic vistas. Sleek casement windows were placed in the kitchen for easy-to-open convenience and quick access to fresh air.

In the bathroom, the homeowners used obscure privacy glass. Available in a variety of styles in both dual- and triple-pane applications, obscure glass is the perfect option for bathrooms. The homeowners chose obscure privacy glass that created more privacy in the bathroom without compromising light or style.
