Construction and Materials
While specific construction details and materials can vary across their extensive product lines, Lincoln Windows generally emphasizes quality and durability. Their doors are typically constructed using materials that offer longevity and resistance to the elements. Common materials found in high-quality exterior doors include:

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.
- Fusion-Welded Vinyl Frames: Some product lines may feature fusion-welded vinyl frames, known for their strength, durability, and low maintenance. These frames offer excellent thermal performance and resistance to warping and fading.
- Aluminum-Clad Exterior: For premium durability and a sophisticated appearance, aluminum-clad exteriors are an option. This construction combines the beauty of a wood interior with a strong, protective layer of extruded aluminum on the exterior, providing superior resistance to weathering and impact.
- Composite Frames: Lincoln Windows may also offer composite frame materials, which are engineered for strength, stability, and resistance to moisture and decay, providing a long-lasting and low-maintenance solution.
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.
