European Entry Doors in Minnesota
If you can feel cold air around your front door or see frost on the lock side, it isn't sealing. We build European entry doors for Minnesota winters in our Coon Rapids shop, each one sized to the opening. Multi-point locks pull the door tight top to bottom, and compression seals close the gap a single deadbolt leaves open. Choose a classic or flush face, finished to match the tilt-and-turn windows we build, the kind that swing inward so you clean the glass from inside. Email your door size and a photo to mark@vermakwindows.com for a price.
Fully future-proof
With an installation depth of 82.5 mm and modern five-chamber technology, our S 8000 and LINEAR front doors offer outstanding heat insulation. Also impressive is the new front door's stability. This is accomplished by the large chamber for stiffening elements, shaped steel reinforcements and matching corner reinforcements as well as the firm bond in the area of the ground threshold produced by the vinyl and aluminium parts engaging on two planes.
The S 8000 front door also scores with its weatherboard system solution that upgrades the door elements both functionally and visually. It ensures maximum protection against driving rain and effective sealing by means of insulation profiles at a number of levels in the area of the ground threshold.

Front Door and French window thresholds for accessible living
The S 8000 front door and French window threshold is ideal for use in wheelchair-accessible living thanks to its overall height of just 20 mm. The cover plate made from aluminium makes the threshold extremely robust, while the multiple sealing levels and a sealing block with counterpiece integrated into the corner make it extremely airtight.

Lift & Slide Doors
For wide openings to the deck or yard, see our lift and slide patio doors, built up to 15'8" wide.
Panes
The modern glazing technology used in windows means that not only are interior spaces warm, but noise is also reduced. Good heat retention and noise reduction improve relaxation and effective work. Security glass packages provide additional peace of mind, while a rich variety of ornamental designs increase the attractiveness of the panes.
​
Double-Glazing
Double-glazing is the standard in modern windows. The panes are separated by a cavity filled with argon gas, which has far better insulation properties than air.
-
Good heat retention
-
Noise reduction
Triple-Glazing
Triple-glazing is intended for those who want highly efficient heat retention. The third panes naturally increases the space between the panes, increasing the effectiveness of the insulation.
-
Effective lessening of heat loss
-
Even better noise reduction
