Frame Options
Kohltech Windows & Entrance Systems offers a selection of patio door frame options designed to complement various architectural styles and homeowner preferences. These frames are engineered for durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal, ensuring a robust and attractive addition to any home.
The primary frame materials available are:
- Vinyl Frames: These are a popular choice due to their excellent insulation properties, low maintenance requirements, and resistance to warping and corrosion. Vinyl frames are available in a range of colors to match exterior finishes. They provide a cost-effective solution without compromising on performance or appearance.
- Wood Frames: For those seeking a classic and natural aesthetic, wood frames offer a warm and traditional look. These frames can be stained or painted to match existing décor and are known for their inherent insulating qualities. Wood frames can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your patio doors.
- Aluminum-Clad Wood Frames: This option combines the beauty of wood on the interior with the durability and low maintenance of aluminum on the exterior. The aluminum exterior provides protection against harsh weather conditions and eliminates the need for painting or staining the outside of the frame, while the wood interior offers a desirable natural finish indoors.
In addition to material choices, Kohltech patio doors can be configured with different frame profiles and features:
- Structural Integrity: Frames are engineered with reinforced components to ensure structural integrity and longevity, providing smooth operation and secure closure for the patio doors.
- Energy Efficiency: Frame designs incorporate features aimed at enhancing energy performance, such as thermal breaks and multi-chambered profiles. This helps to minimize heat transfer, reduce drafts, and contribute to lower energy bills.
- Customization Options: Beyond material and color, specific frame details and configurations can be tailored to meet individual project requirements, including options for enhanced security and specific glazing packages.
Glass Options
Kohltech Windows & Entrance Systems offers a selection of glass options designed to enhance the performance and aesthetic of their patio doors. These options cater to various needs, including energy efficiency, safety, and privacy.
Standard Glass:
- Clear Insulated Glass: This is the standard offering, consisting of two panes of tempered glass separated by an air or argon gas-filled spacer. This construction provides basic thermal insulation and durability.
Low-E Coatings:
- Low-E Glass (Various Types): Kohltech offers different types of Low-E (low-emissivity) coatings. These microscopically thin metallic layers are applied to the glass surface to reflect infrared heat. This means that in the summer, less heat from the sun enters your home, and in the winter, less heat from your home escapes. This leads to improved energy efficiency and reduced utility bills. Specific Low-E options may vary, but they generally aim to optimize solar heat gain coefficients (SHGC) and U-values for different climates.
Gas Fills:
- Argon Gas: In addition to air, an inert gas such as Argon can be used to fill the space between the glass panes. Argon is denser than air and acts as a better insulator, further improving the thermal performance of the insulated glass unit and contributing to lower U-values.
Tempered Glass:
- Tempered Glass: All glass used in Kohltech patio doors is tempered for safety. Tempered glass is heat-treated to increase its strength and to cause it to fracture into small, relatively harmless pieces when broken, rather than large, sharp shards. This makes it a safer choice for doors.
Specialty Glass Options:
- Obscure/Privacy Glass: For areas where privacy is desired, such as bathrooms or entry points visible from the street, obscure glass options are available. These may include textured or frosted finishes that allow light to pass through while obscuring the view.
- Decorative Glass: While not always standard, decorative glass options might be available to add a unique design element to the patio doors. These can include etched, patterned, or stained glass inserts.
Combination Options:
Kohltech patio doors often allow for combinations of these features. For instance, a door can be ordered with Low-E coating and Argon gas fill within a tempered glass unit for optimal energy efficiency and safety.
Hardware
Kohltech Windows & Entrance Systems offers a selection of patio door hardware designed for both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The available options cater to various styles of patio doors, including French, sliding, and garden patio doors.
Hardware Options for Patio Doors
- Handles: A range of handle styles is available to complement the overall design of your patio door. These can include traditional lever handles for French doors and more minimalist designs for sliding patio doors. Finishes vary to match other architectural hardware in your home.
- Locks: Security is a key consideration, and Kohltech patio doors come with robust locking mechanisms. For French and garden patio doors, multi-point locking systems are often standard, providing enhanced security by engaging multiple points along the door frame. Sliding patio doors typically feature secure latching systems.
- Hinges: The type of hinges depends on the door style. French and garden patio doors utilize durable hinges designed to support the weight and operation of in-swinging or out-swinging door panels. Sliding patio doors employ specialized rollers and tracks that allow for smooth and effortless operation.
- Roller Systems: For sliding patio doors, the quality of the roller system is paramount. Kohltech uses engineered rollers designed for longevity and ease of movement, ensuring that even large and heavy doors can be opened and closed with minimal effort.
- Keeper Systems: Keeper systems work in conjunction with locks to secure the door to the frame. These are designed for durability and precise alignment to ensure a tight seal and effective locking.
- Screen Door Hardware: For patio doors that incorporate or are designed to work with screens, appropriate hardware such as screen door handles, guides, and latches are available to ensure the screen functions effectively and stays securely in place.
- Finishes: Hardware is offered in a variety of finishes to match interior and exterior design preferences. Common finishes include brushed nickel, polished brass, oil-rubbed bronze, and white, among others.
The specific hardware configurations and options may vary depending on the model and style of Kohltech patio door selected.
Price Tier
Market Position: Mid-Range ($$)
The Kohltech Patio Doors offer a solid balance of performance and value, positioning them above basic entry-level options but below the highest-tier, custom-designed systems. Compared to budget-friendly patio doors, these systems typically feature more robust materials and better energy efficiency, while not quite reaching the bespoke customization and premium material grades found in luxury architectural lines.
Key Value Drivers:
- Material Composition: Constructed with durable vinyl frames, offering good thermal performance and resistance to warping and fading. The glass options often include Low-E coatings and argon gas fills for enhanced energy efficiency.
- Longevity and Warranty: Typically come with a manufacturer's warranty that covers material defects and operational components for a significant period, providing peace of mind for homeowners. This warranty is generally more comprehensive than that offered on budget models.
- Installation Labor Complexity: Designed for standard installation, making labor costs more predictable than highly customized or complex door systems.
- Aesthetics: Available in a range of standard finishes and configurations, allowing for aesthetic integration into most home designs without the premium cost associated with highly specialized architectural hardware or unique material veneers.
Best Suited For:
These doors are an excellent choice for homeowners looking for reliable, energy-efficient patio doors for their primary residence or for renovation projects where a good blend of quality, durability, and cost-effectiveness is desired. They are also a strong contender for spec builds or rental properties where long-term performance is important without the need for top-of-the-line luxury features.
Options-Styles
Kohltech Windows & Entrance Systems offers a selection of patio door styles designed to enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of your home. Their patio door offerings fall into several key categories, including French, sliding, garden, and tilt and turn patio doors.
Patio Door Styles:
- French Patio Doors: These classic doors offer a timeless elegance, featuring multiple glass panes within a single door frame. They can be hinged to swing either inward or outward, providing a versatile opening that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living spaces. French patio doors are ideal for creating a grand entrance or for maximizing natural light.
- Sliding Patio Doors: For spaces where swing clearance is a concern, sliding patio doors provide an excellent solution. These doors glide smoothly on a track, allowing for easy operation and maximizing usable floor space. They are designed to offer expansive views and ample light, making them a popular choice for modern homes.
- Garden Patio Doors: These doors are specifically designed to serve as a transition to garden spaces or other outdoor living areas. They often feature larger glass expanses to provide unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape and can be configured to open wide for a more immersive indoor-outdoor experience.
- Tilt and Turn Patio Doors: Offering advanced functionality, tilt and turn patio doors provide two distinct modes of operation. They can tilt inwards from the top for ventilation without compromising security, or swing inwards like a traditional door for full access. This dual functionality makes them highly adaptable to various weather conditions and ventilation needs.

Frame Options

- Wood Interior Finishes: For those seeking the warmth and natural beauty of wood, Lincoln Windows provides a selection of wood interior options. These can include various species and stain colors to match existing interior trim and décor, offering a classic and inviting look for patio doors.
- Exterior Frame Colors: The exterior of the frames can be finished in a broad spectrum of colors. This extensive palette allows for seamless integration with the home's exterior color scheme, whether the preference is for a classic neutral, a bold statement, or a shade that mimics natural materials.
- Pre-finished Exterior Colors: Many of Lincoln Windows' exterior frame options are available pre-finished, ensuring a durable and consistent color application that stands up to the elements.
- Custom Exterior Colors: For a truly personalized touch, custom exterior color matching may be available, enabling homeowners to achieve a precise color match with their existing home exterior.

Glass Options
Lincoln Windows offers a variety of glass options designed to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and aesthetics for their exterior door products.
The core of their glass offerings revolves around insulating glass units (IGUs), which are typically composed of two panes of glass separated by a spacer. This creates a sealed space that can be filled with inert gas for improved thermal performance.
Standard Features & Options:
- Low-E Coatings: Lincoln Windows utilizes Low-E (low-emissivity) coatings on their glass. These microscopic metallic layers are applied to the glass surface and are designed to reflect infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through. This helps to keep homes cooler in the summer by reflecting solar heat gain and warmer in the winter by reducing heat loss from the interior.
- Argon Gas Fill: The space between the glass panes can be filled with argon gas. Argon is a denser, inert gas that provides better insulation than air, further improving the U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of the window unit.
- Tempered Glass: For safety and security, tempered glass is an option. This type of glass is heat-treated to be significantly stronger than standard glass. If broken, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pebble-like pieces, reducing the risk of injury. It is often used in doors where safety is a primary concern.
- Laminated Glass: Laminated glass offers enhanced security and sound dampening properties. It consists of two panes of glass bonded together with a layer of interlayer, typically PVB (polyvinyl butyral). If broken, the glass fragments adhere to the interlayer, holding the unit together and providing a barrier against intrusion and noise.
Decorative & Specialty Options:
- Grids: Decorative grids, also known as muntins, can be added between the panes of glass (simulated divided lites - SDL) or on the interior surface of the glass (permanent vinyl grids). These can simulate the look of traditional divided lites and come in various patterns and finishes to complement different architectural styles.
- Obscure Glass: For areas where privacy is desired, such as bathrooms or entryways, obscure glass options are available. These treatments diffuse light, preventing clear viewing while still allowing natural light to enter.
The specific combination of glass types, Low-E coatings, gas fills, and decorative features will vary depending on the particular Lincoln Windows door model selected, allowing for customization to meet diverse performance and aesthetic requirements.
Hardware
Lincoln Windows offers a variety of hardware options designed to complement their range of exterior door systems, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. These hardware selections are crafted to provide durability, ease of use, and a cohesive look across their patio door product lines, including French hinged, sliding, folding, multi-slide, and swinging patio doors.
Hardware Finishes
The hardware for Lincoln Windows' patio doors is available in a selection of premium finishes to suit diverse architectural styles and personal preferences:
- Oil-Rubbed Bronze: A dark, rich finish that offers a traditional and sophisticated appearance, often developing a natural patina over time.
- Polished Brass: A classic and elegant choice, providing a bright and lustrous shine that adds a touch of warmth and luxury.
- Brushed Nickel: A contemporary and versatile finish known for its subtle sheen and resistance to fingerprints and smudges, offering a modern look.
- Matte Black: A bold and dramatic option that provides a sleek, modern, and high-contrast statement piece for any door.
- Satin Nickel: Similar to brushed nickel, this finish offers a smooth, non-reflective surface with a sophisticated and understated elegance.
Locking Mechanisms and Hardware Features
Lincoln Windows integrates robust and user-friendly hardware solutions into their door systems. The specific hardware components may vary by door type (e.g., hinged French doors versus sliding patio doors), but generally include:
- Multi-Point Locking Systems: Available on many of their French and folding door systems, these advanced locks engage multiple points of the door frame for enhanced security and superior sealing against the elements.
- Keyed Locksets: Providing secure access and peace of mind, these locks are integrated into the door handles, often with a corresponding deadbolt for added protection.
- Handles and Levers: Ergonomically designed for comfortable operation, available in styles that match the chosen hardware finish and complement the door's overall design. Options often include traditional lever handles and more contemporary pull handles.
- Keepers and Strike Plates: Precision-engineered components that work in conjunction with the locking mechanisms to ensure a secure and tight fit, contributing to the door's weather resistance and structural integrity.
- Rollers and Tracks: For sliding and multi-slide doors, high-quality rollers and robust tracks are essential for smooth, effortless operation, even with large and heavy panels.
- Hinges: Durable and reliable hinges are critical for the smooth swing and long-term performance of hinged and folding door systems, designed to support the weight of the door panels while maintaining alignment.
The hardware selection for Lincoln Windows' exterior doors is carefully curated to ensure optimal performance, security, and aesthetic harmony, allowing homeowners to customize their entryways to perfectly match their design vision.

Price Tier
Market Position: Mid-Range ($$)
How It Compares: The Norwood patio door collection offers a noticeable step up in durability and customizable options compared to basic vinyl patio doors found in the Budget/Value tier. Moving into the Premium ($$$) and Luxury/Architectural ($$$$) tiers would typically involve upgrades to more exotic materials like solid hardwoods or advanced composite structures, often with more complex hardware systems.
Key Value Drivers:
- Material Composition: Often constructed with a blend of durable materials like vinyl-clad wood or high-quality vinyl, providing a good balance of strength, thermal performance, and low maintenance.
- Longevity and Warranty Coverage: Typically comes with solid warranty coverage, reflecting the expected lifespan and resilience of the materials used, generally longer than entry-level options.
- Installation Labor Complexity or Included Features: Designed for straightforward installation, but may offer more integrated features or aesthetic options that contribute to a slightly longer installation time compared to the simplest models, with options for custom sizes and grille patterns.
- Aesthetics: Offers a range of styles, colors, and hardware finishes to suit various home designs without the specialized customization often found in higher tiers.
Best Suited For: Homeowners looking for a reliable and attractive patio door solution for their primary residence or significant renovation projects where a balance of performance, aesthetics, and budget is important. This tier is ideal for those seeking a durable product that will perform well for many years without the investment required for top-tier architectural products.

Style Options
- Patio-Side Hinged/French Doors: These elegant doors bring a classic touch to any home. Available in various configurations, including single and double door units, they create a grand entrance or a seamless transition to your outdoor living space. The design emphasizes expansive glass panels, allowing for abundant natural light and picturesque views.
- Patio-Sliding Doors: For homeowners seeking a space-saving solution without compromising on style or light, patio-sliding doors are an excellent choice. Their operational design allows for easy access to patios and decks, offering unobstructed views and a contemporary feel.
- Entry Doors: Norwood's entry doors are designed to make a statement. They combine security, energy efficiency, and sophisticated design. A wide array of panel configurations, decorative glass options, and material choices are available to complement any architectural style, from traditional to modern.
- Folding Door Systems: These innovative systems provide the ultimate in flexibility and openness. Ideal for creating an expansive connection between indoor and outdoor environments, folding doors can be fully opened to merge living spaces or partially opened for controlled ventilation and access. They are perfect for maximizing views and creating a dynamic living experience.
- Garden Patio Doors: Designed to invite the outdoors in, garden patio doors offer a beautiful and functional way to access your garden or patio area. Similar to French doors in their classic appeal, these doors are engineered for durability and energy performance, ensuring they are as practical as they are aesthetically pleasing.
Glass Options
Norwood offers a selection of glass options designed to enhance the aesthetics, energy efficiency, and performance of their exterior door systems, including patio, entry, and French doors. These options cater to various needs, from improved insulation to privacy and decorative appeal.
- Standard Clear Insulated Glass: This is the foundational glass option, providing clear visibility. It consists of two panes of glass separated by a spacer, creating an insulating gas-filled space that helps reduce heat transfer.
- Low-E (Low-Emissivity) Coatings: Norwood doors can be equipped with Low-E coatings. This invisible metallic coating is applied to the glass surface and works by reflecting infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through. This helps keep heat inside during the winter and outside during the summer, contributing to improved energy efficiency and reduced utility bills.
- Argon Gas Fill: In conjunction with Low-E coatings and insulated glass units, Norwood doors can also feature Argon gas fill. Argon is a noble gas that is denser than air and a poorer conductor of heat. Filling the space between the glass panes with Argon further enhances the insulating properties of the unit, leading to greater energy savings.
- Decorative Glass Options: For entry doors, Norwood offers decorative glass inserts. These options are designed to add a touch of style and personality to the entrance of your home. Specific decorative glass designs may include various patterns and textures, often featuring a combination of clear and textured glass for both light diffusion and visual interest.
- Privacy Glass: For areas where privacy is a concern, such as bathrooms or side-lites, Norwood provides privacy glass options. These typically involve textured or frosted glass surfaces that obscure direct visibility while still allowing light to penetrate.
- Tempered Glass: Depending on the application and local building codes, Norwood doors may utilize tempered glass. Tempered glass is a type of safety glass that is treated to be stronger than regular glass. If it breaks, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, reducing the risk of serious injury.
- Laminated Glass: Laminated glass is another safety glass option. It consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer. If broken, the glass fragments tend to stick to the interlayer, keeping the glass intact and reducing the risk of injury. This option also offers enhanced security and sound insulation.
