Defender Steel Door

At Defender Door & Window we take great pride at having helped the residents of Chicagoland make their homes more beautiful and secure. For over 30 years we have been installing steel entry doors, security storm doors and vinyl replacement windows. In addition to those products we also offer other exterior home improvements like garage doors, wrought iron fencing, wood fencing, aluminum fencing, vinyl siding and gutters. We are committed to excellence in both the products we offer and the service we provide.

There are many vinyl replacement windows available, but there are certain features that make Defender's window a superior product. It starts by using pure, virgin vinyl. Because or vinyl is pure the color of our windows lasts longer and the strength of our windows is unmatched. The window is further strengthened by fusion welding all of the corners. Finally, the frame and sashes are reinforced with steel. In addition to providing an outstanding product, our installation process is professional with great care being given to the small details.

When it comes to siding, strength is supremely important. Vinyl siding comes in many different grades and the weaker grades are a product that you don't want. There are also other important elements such as the way each piece of siding fits together with the one above and below. It's also important that your siding be thick where it is nailed into the side of your house. If this area is too thin it is more susceptible to tearing and damage. At Defender we have been providing high quality vinyl siding for decades.

Our vinyl sliding patio door systems are precision engineered and designed for easy operation and durability. With a low profile sash and frame our patio door also brings an element of style to your home. It's multi-chambered frame and double-walled construction provides the strength necessary to last for decades. The one inch tempered, insulated glass provides premium energy efficiency to help keep your energy costs low. Our sliding patio doors are available in a variety of colors including woodgrain finishes.

When it comes to fencing, there are a wide variety of styles and materials to choose from. Let us help you understand the different options so you can get the right material and style you are looking for. Defender offers all materials and nearly every style of fencing available. Whether you are looking for a maintenance free option like vinyl or need something built for strength and beauty like wrought iron fencing, we have what you need. We also take great care in our installation process. Each type of fencing is installed differently.

Defender's steel entry doors showcase beauty while providing unmatched strength and security at the same time. While most steel entry doors are created using 24 or 26 gauge steel, Defender steel entry doors are made using 22 gauge steel, making them 30% to 60% stronger than most doors on the market. All of our doors come in a wide variety of finishes as well. You can choose from a painted finish or wood grain stain. All doors are zinc galvanized, primed, and then painted and baked. This gives every door a beautiful finish that is durable enough to last for many, many years.

All too often a security storm door made of 16 gauge steel will be installed using an aluminum frame. While aluminum has it's benefits, it is too soft and pliable to provide true security. This is why every Defender security storm door is installed using a 16 gauge steel frame to match the strength of the door and provide the security you need. Defender welds all corners at a 45 degree angle - known as mitering - to cover over 30% more surface area. This adds strength to the door and seals it completely, eliminating any caps that can cause pre-mature deterioration.

Because we have over 20 years of experience installing and servicing garage doors, Defender can help you make an informed decision. We will explain the differences between the various types of garage doors so you can choose the one that best fits your need. Rest assured that the product you pick will be of top quality and the installation will be professional and precise.
