The historic town of Westfield, Massachusetts has a rich background and offers a unique traditional style of architecture with some homes being well over one hundred years old. We worked with the homeowners of a cedar shingle home, built in 1880, that needed a replacement sliding patio door. Their old door was difficult to open and close, requiring a lot of effort to operate. To give them an upgrade, we recommended a durable Pella 250 Series vinyl sliding patio door.
New Patio Door Glides Opens Easily
The old sliding patio door was falling apart. In addition to being a security concern, it was not very energy efficient. We wanted to reassure the homeowners that their new door would open smoothly and provide peace of mind. Vinyl patio doors have multi-chambered frames that help slow the transfer of heat and provide extra support to the door. With a low-maintenance design, this sliding patio door also offers an optional footbolt for secondary venting and locking capabilities. The homeowners can enjoy fresh air circulating throughout their kitchen while keeping their door safely locked.
Between-the-Glass Blinds Keep Home More Comfortable
One feature that the homeowners are very enthusiastic about is the inclusion of between-the-glass blinds. The afternoon sun beats into the kitchen, making the space hot and uncomfortable. Between-the-glass blinds not only provide shade to fix the heat issue but are also low maintenance and protected by the glass. The cordless blinds won’t need to be cleaned or end up damaged. They are also a much safer option for pets and children in the home since there are no dangling cords to worry about.
Pella of Western Massachusetts Ensures Hassle-Free Installation
This new sliding door was installed on a cold winter morning. Despite the weather, our experts were able to quickly install the new patio door in less than a day. It’s a common belief that installations are harder in cold weather. Our certified installation technicians understand the importance of keeping your home clean and comfortable. They prepare the new door to be installed before taking out the old one to minimize the amount of time the home is open to cold air. With the Pella Promise, the expert installers ensured a no mess, no guess installation. The swift and convenient installation gave these homeowners a new sliding patio door with minimal hassle. Our experts were there to communicate and guide the homeowners through their purchase and installation journey to ensure a stunning and satisfying result.
This historic home’s patio door was due for a major upgrade and the homeowners are very excited about the outcome of the project. The new sliding patio door offers durability and lasting comfort. With a renewed sense of confidence in their patio door, these homeowners will be able to enjoy beautiful Massachusetts summers and weather its cold winters for years to come.
