PATIO DOOR INSTALLATION · Vancouver BC
Patio Door Installation Vancouver
Nixon Exteriors installs sliding patio doors, French patio doors, and multi-panel lift-and-slide systems for Vancouver homes. Over 1,200 patio door projects completed since 2009 — with Vancouver-specific weatherproofing on every installation.
Patio door installation in Vancouver takes more than fitting a door into an opening. With 1,189mm of rain a year and frequent wind-driven storms, every door we install gets an integrated sill pan, triple-bead sealant, and sloped drainage. Our SD6500 sliding and French door systems are built for coastal BC conditions.

Vancouver-Grade Weatherproofing
Integrated Sill Pan
Every patio door gets a factory-formed sill pan with a back-dam that channels any water infiltration outward. This is the single most important detail for preventing rot in Vancouver's wet climate.
Triple-Bead Sealant
We apply three continuous beads of polyurethane sealant: interior air seal, mid-cavity rain barrier, and exterior weather seal. This creates a drainage plane that handles wind-driven rain up to 100 km/h.
Compression Weatherstrip
Dual compression weatherstrips on every panel ensure a tight seal even as the door expands and contracts through Vancouver's temperature cycles (from -5°C winter lows to 35°C summer highs).
