MCCLEARY, Wash. - Every homeowner loves a great view of the outdoors. French doors are a wonderful way to maximize a backyard or patio view from inside; however, many homeowners are hesitant to install wood doors that could be exposed to harsh outdoor elements. Now with Simpson's new door system technology, homeowners can experience the best of both worlds.

Historically, tough exposures such as rain, snow, direct sunlight and standing water have posed a challenge to wood doors. Fortunately, the combination of Performance Series® doors and FrameSaver® door frames create a system that prevents wicking, eliminates rot, resists insects and improves warp resistance while maintaining the beauty and integrity of quality wood doors.

Performance doors provide maximum water protection, which helps preserve the natural beauty of wood and make them the perfect choice for almost any patio door situation, including areas with poor overhang protection and wet and humid climates.

Performance Series doors are currently available in French door styles and can be ordered with insulated glass units. The doors are backed by a five-year limited warranty. For more information and to order new Performance Series product literature call Simpson Door Company at 1-800-952-4057 or visit www.simpsondoor.com.
