Divided Lites

Grilles Between the Glass (GBGs): GBGs are permanent grills installed between glass panes for low maintenance and easy cleaning. Choose from six exterior colors and three interior colors.

Simulated Divided Lite (SDL): SDL bars are energy-efficient and can be used to create authentic divided lites. They are permanently attached to both sides of the glass and can be paired with or without a spacer bar to create depth.

Simulated Divided Lite with Spacer Bar (SDLS): SDLS, paired with SDL bars, adds a spacer bar for a closer resemblance to the authentic divided lites look.

Glass

Performance Glass

Low E1: Allows maximum solar heat gain to warm a room while blocking heat loss. It is best used in colder climates, with one layer of metallic coating.

Low E2: Offers year-round performance in moderate climates by reflecting heat back to its source.

Low E3: Rejects solar heat while letting light in, increasing performance in climates with intense sun exposure.

Low E3/ERS: Provides maximum efficiency year-round in all conditions with an extra metallic layer on the room-side glass to reflect escaping heat back into the room.

Specialty Glass

Tempered: Tempered glass features increased glass strength to help prevent breakage and is ideal for areas close to the floor or high-traffic areas.

Laminated: Laminated glass is stronger than tempered glass and is often referred to as impact-resistant or safety glass due to its vinyl interlayer that tends to remain in place when cracked.

STC/OITC: Sound Transmission Class and Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class Glass have increased pane thickness, suitable for areas with exterior noise concerns.

California Fire Glass: California fire glass is a dual-pane option, with one pane made of regular or annealed glass and the other tempered glass to meet the California fire zone code.

Decorative Glass

Decorative glass options offer a perfect blend of style and privacy for spaces requiring natural sunlight, allowing for a beautiful statement in your home.

We love our new front door with side light and storm door. Everyone was so professional and knowledgeable starting with Gary Armstrong from Sales. He came to our house and educated us on the different doors, had samples of different colors and hardware. After we made our decision he took a picture of our current front door and was able to show us exactly what our new doors would look like on our house so there was nothing left to the imagination. They offer several different options for payment. Our project manager John Nelson kept us updated along the way which was awesome because our door was confirmed to deliver earlier than expected. Installation was booked within two days of our door getting delivered at Next Door and Window. The installers Fred and Mike were right on time, professional and installation was completed perfectly. We highly recommend Next Door and Window and definitely deserve a five star rating! Thank you Next Door and Window!

We needed to replace the last 5 original windows in our 120 year-old home. After much research and numerous conversations with multiple window companies, Next Door & Window of Burr Ridge was our clear choice. From initial contact at the showroom through post-installation, they have consistently been knowledgeable, patient with our questions, thorough, personable, and not aggressive. Customer service was excellent, and the employees are skilled, really nice people.The installation went very smoothly. The windows were ready at the projected time, scheduling was flexible, and the install itself took ½ day. Cleanup was thorough, and the installers were respectful to us and our home. No stress.The windows look beautiful, the quality is great, and we are satisfied with the value. We do realize that we need to see how the windows manage seasonal changes.We dealt primarily with Ron, who co-owns Next Door & Window with his son. Ron is an expert in the window and door business, and the kind of salesperson you hope you get to work with. He was always striving to ensure we were completely satisfied.It was a pleasure doing business with Next Door & Window.

We had a Marvin Infinity sliding patio door installed by Next Door and Window. Sales rep Zach was good to work with and helped us arrive at a good price. Their showroom has lots of door options to browse through. Installer did a great job in removing the old door, installing the new one and cleaning up. We will go with Next Door for future projects of replacing all our windows with Marvin Infinity. Highly recommend this place for your next window/door project.

We chose Next to replace our front door and side lights. The one being replaced was the original from 1999 and had all sorts of issues. We chose to go with the ProVia 460 Style Smooth Steel entry door and side lights. We opted for full glass on both in order to brighten the entryway. We also did different colors for exterior (black) and interior (white) to fit our styles. The product was built to order so there was a several week delay from purchase to installation but that was expected. Once the materials arrived they delivered it at 8am and the installer worked all day to remove the entire casement and install everything new. It is very high quality. The door is perfectly balanced and hardware aligned to spec!We absolutely love our new door!

Next Door and Window is definitely a 5 STAR business. Everyone at the office was extremely friendly and very helpful. Ron came out to the house in just a day or two and thoroughly explained and showed pictures of everything we needed to know about doors and storm doors, Next Door and Window also had a top-notch crew install our beautiful doors. I would highly recommend Next Door and Window!

We had two exterior doors and two storm doors installed. I am so happy with our experience with Next. They had excellent customer service from start to finish. The man who came to give us our quote did a thorough job measuring and talking to us about our options. The doors arrived sooner than expected which was a very pleasant surprise. Although it was expensive, I think it is worth it. The only negative is they told us both sets of doors would be installed on the same day with two crews, but unfortunately they sent only one man who had to come two days in a row and worked long hours to get the job done. He also moved our door stopper which left a large hole in our drywall, but didn’t tell us about the damage so now I need to figure out how to fix it.

Next Door and Window replaced an old, rotted exterior door. From the initial sales visit and estimate through installation, they were very prompt and professional. They kept me updated as to the expected installation date and the installation was done quickly and very cleanly. I am 100% satisfied with them and would highly recommend them.

We are very pleased with our Marvin replacement windows from Next Door and Window. The windows are very attractive, interior wood stained to match our existing woodwork and exterior fiberglass with aluminum used to trim out the brick mold. Project was completed on schedule without any problems, so minimally disruptive for us. The installers did an excellent job cleaning up both inside and outside. Highly recommended.

This is our second large project with Next Door and Window. Both projects turned out even better than we expected. We had Next replace all of our doors. They look beautiful and the better seal and outstanding insulation made a huge difference in keeping the house warm in winter and cooler in summer.Two weeks ago we had Next replace all of the windows. Again, the windows are gorgeous, the installation was flawless and looks beautiful inside and outside. It has definitely improved our curb appeal and the house just looks brighter and sunnier inside. In the current summer heat, we've also already noticed that house feels like its significantly cooler to the insulation and the windows themselves.Everyone we've worked with at Next has been wonderful. The installation teams were courteous and very professional. They also left our home spotless. When they finished the work you couldn't even tell they were there. The management team also cares--they checked with us multiple times to make sure everything was right.Next Door and Window is highly recommended! I've recommended them to my family, friends and neighbors.John
