Project Details

In the heart of Edmond, Oklahoma, one homeowner faced a daily challenge in letting their dog in and out. Whether home or away, the homeowner felt it was getting difficult to accommodate their pet’s constant desire to move between the house and backyard. They knew a doggy door was the answer, but all doggy doors they had seen before were integrated into solid doors and not aesthetically pleasing. The homeowner hesitated because they didn’t want to trade off the natural light from their existing patio door for the convenience of a doggy door. Hearing Pella of Oklahoma’s reputation for custom solutions, the homeowner turned to us for a tailored solution that would check all the boxes.

Replacement Patio Door Offers Both Natural Light and Convenience

The challenge was clear – finding a patio door that not only maximized natural light but also integrated a doggy door seamlessly. Understanding the homeowner's vision and the necessity for a patio door that married functionality and aesthetics was our priority. After careful consideration and collaboration, we recommended hinged French patio doors with a small integrated doggy door on one side. The upper portion of the doors features unobstructed glass that allows plenty of Oklahoma sunshine into the home. We recommended the bottom section of the doors be solid to integrate the requested doggy door. This also eliminates the need to clean constantly dirty glass around the doggy door. The custom doggy door offers the family pet the freedom to move in and out without compromising the security or integrity of the patio door.

Elegant French Doors Maintain Traditional Aesthetic

Not only were natural light and a doggy door key to the project but so was the overall aesthetic of a new door. Investing in a new door is a big decision and the homeowner wanted to get the most out of it. When it came to the overall look of their porch, they requested that the new patio door match the home’s existing color scheme and further its traditional style. The new white patio doors match trim work around the home and brighten the porch. The hinged doors made of wood provide an elegant touch and natural beauty. The thoughtful placement of the doggy door on one side maintains a seamless and cohesive appearance, blending functionality with sophistication. The updated door not only met their practical needs but also elevated the visual appeal of their home.

This Edmond, OK patio door replacement stands as a testament to the power of customization. Our team enjoyed working together to find a tailored solution that seamlessly blends functionality, style and homeowner preferences.
