Door Installation




Just a little update and an opportunity to share with you some pics that we've taken of a replacement door we put in this month. As I've seen more and more front entry doors installed, I've grown to really love the process of seeing a brand new door installed. It's very satisfying to see a customer's old front door replaced with a door that is brand new, beautiful, and increases the quality and look of the home.

I've had the chance to see old rotted doors falling off the hinges and don't open correctly replaced with elegant, custom front doors that give the front of the house a much needed facelift.

This summer, along with the many fiberglass doors we've put in, we've started ordering and installing more wood doors as well. There are still a lot of Atlanta homeowners who love the look and feel of a wood door. Wood doors also provide a very distinct, bold and tasteful look that many Atlantans love.

The picture you see in this blog is of a Precision Entry fiberglass door. The door is a St Jane style glass door with low-e glass sidelights and a cherry finish. We're very proud of this door and the work that was put into it. This home in Alpharetta, GA also has new windows installed as well. The customer we served had the entire front of the house improved. With arch top windows, sidelights, and a new front door, we were able to give our customer an improvement she had been wanting for years. Enjoy the pics and keep checking in!

Heat Wave-Are Your Windows Helping or Hurting?

For the next week, we'll see temperatures in the 90's and even up to 100 by this Thursday! That's right, it's August in Atlanta. And as if the many smog alerts, weren't enough to make you want to stay indoors, our recent heat wave may be enough to make Atlantans take up permanent residence in their air conditioned residences.

Believe it our not, energy effcient replacement windows can do a lot to help keep your home cool in the summer time. Why is that? Because all replacement windows today are insulated with a low-e (low emissivity) coating that keeps heat from passing through the glass in your windows.

Clear glass windows, even in a double paned window, have a very low heat resistance and allow heat to pass freely into your home in the summer. Thus, cooling costs go through the roof as your system tries to counter the heat that pours into your home.

That's why replacement windows are such a smart choice when looking for ways to beat the heat of Atlanta's summertime. Installing energy efficient replacement windows can increase your energy efficiency up to 10 times what you may have now!

Atlanta Area Window and Door Co will be glad to see that you get properly installed, energy efficient replacement windows to help keep your home very cool this summer.
