Columbus Bifold Patio Doors

Popular Local Trends & Styles

• Modern Doors

  From front doors to French doors, modern style is popular in Central Ohio. Folding patio doors are a favorite of modern home design. For homeowners in search of modern living room ideas or kitchen ideas, bifold patio doors bring an abundance of sunlight and create wide openings for connected entertainment spaces inside and outside your home.

• Modern Farmhouse Design

  Ohio is well-known for its manufacturing cities, but the state is still a strong agricultural producer. Many Columbus homeowners are mixing sleek, modern interior design with charming country character. Folding glass patio doors made of pine and finished with a stain that preserves the natural color and grain of the wood complement your modern farmhouse decor.

• Black Door Frames

  Black frames on patio doors and windows is one of the biggest trends in modern decor. On a bifold patio door, black frames provide a bold border that makes the outdoor environment look like a living piece of art. Modern black folding doors are elegant and versatile, equally attractive in a modern home in Greater Hilltop as a historic stone house in Eastmoor.

• Wooden Patio Doors

  On the farm and in modern homes, wood is a major design element and the most recognizable characteristic of any modern design offshoot. Wood bifold patio doors provide natural beauty. You can paint or stain them to match your floors, trim and other interior elements, or provide contrast with a different color or tone.

Columbus Climate Recommendations

Central Ohio is away from the lakes, but still experiences quite a bit of precipitation. Wood offers natural insulation against the elements. Additional performance features can help your bifold patio doors manage the variable weather patterns throughout the year.

•   How do I clean my Pella windows and patio doors? What can I use to clean them?

  • Clean the interior and exterior frame surfaces with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Stubborn stains and deposits may be removed with mineral spirits. Or Pine-Sol® can be applied with a clean, dry cloth or towel. Do not use abrasives. Do not scrape or use tools that might damage the surface. Should you need it, touch-up paint is available at the Pella Window and Door Showroom nearest you.

    Clean the window sill using the brush attachment on a vacuum and vacuum off any debris.

    It is normal for water to accumulate in the sill and track. On products with weep holes, the water is intended to drain to the outside via the drainage or "weep" holes.

    • To clean the weep (drainage) system, check to make sure that the weep holes are clear of obstruction (dirt, sand, or building materials).
    • To clean the weep holes, use a small, soft brush to clear the opening. Weep holes may be located both inside and outside the window in the bottom of the frame. If the window is "stacked," there may be weep holes between the units.

    WARNINGS:

    • Do not use abrasive or caustic solvents as they may damage your windows or patio doors.
    • Do not scrape or use tools that might damage the surface. 
    • Do not power-wash.
