Window Replacement in La Grange
More than a third of La Grange’s housing stock predates World War II, and a significant portion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. That means window replacement here involves considerations you won’t find in newer subdivisions. Aurora manufactures every window to order, so the fit is exact regardless of what the original builders left behind.
Tilt & Turn Windows
Opens two ways from a single sash: tilt inward at the top for controlled airflow, or rotate fully open like a casement for cleaning or ventilation. Popular with La Grange homeowners upgrading multi-story Victorian and Craftsman homes where window access from the outside isn’t practical.

Double-Hung Windows
Two independently operated sashes that both slide vertically, making ventilation and cleaning straightforward from inside the home. An NFRC-certified option well suited to La Grange’s traditional street-facing facades where the exterior appearance matters as much as the performance.

Sliding Windows
Two sashes that move horizontally along a track, with no swing clearance required. A clean, minimal look that works well in contemporary additions or renovated spaces where the opening is wide and unobstructed.

Picture Windows
A single fixed pane that maximizes glass area and frames an outdoor view. Works particularly well in La Grange living rooms and dining rooms where the existing opening is large and the priority is light, not ventilation.

Storm Windows
A secondary window unit mounted over your existing frame to reduce drafts and improve thermal performance. A good fit for La Grange homeowners with original wood windows they want to preserve while still bringing heating costs down.

Egress Windows
Meet Illinois code requirements for basement sleeping areas by providing a code-compliant emergency exit opening. La Grange properties built before modern codes often require enlarging the existing opening, which our team handles including excavation and frame reinforcement.

Hopper Windows
Hinged at the bottom and opening inward at the top, these are a reliable ventilation option for below-grade rooms. Commonly specified for La Grange basements and utility spaces where security and weathertightness matter alongside airflow.

Garden Windows
A three-sided glass projection that extends beyond the exterior wall, adding depth and shelf space to a room. Frequently chosen for La Grange kitchen renovations where owners want more natural light without a structural addition.

Skylight Windows
Installed flush with the roof slope to bring daylight into interior rooms with no exterior wall exposure. We handle waterproofing, flashing, and structural integration as part of every skylight installation.

Pass-Through Windows
A wide horizontal opening between two rooms or between a kitchen and an outdoor counter. Often requested during La Grange kitchen and patio renovation projects to improve flow between cooking and entertaining spaces.

Bay and Bow Windows
A multi-panel assembly that projects outward from the facade, adding floor space and visual depth to a room. A historically appropriate choice for La Grange homes in Victorian and Craftsman styles, and we manage all associated framing and exterior finishing.

Glass Block Windows
Individual glass units mortared into a frame to create a solid, light-diffusing panel. Often used in La Grange basement renovations where the priority is privacy, security, and eliminating drafts without a conventional window unit.
Door Installation in La Grange
Aurora produces exterior doors to your exact measurements, finished and ready to hang. Every door we make is custom sized, so whether your opening follows a standard dimension or not, you’ll get a unit that fits and seals correctly.
Patio Sliding Doors
A horizontal sliding door system with large glass panels that maximize the view and connection to the yard. A practical choice for La Grange homes where the rear entry opens onto a patio and floor space inside is limited.

Tilt & Turn Doors
The same dual-function mechanism as our tilt and turn windows, applied to a full door unit. Tilts inward at the top for ventilation without fully opening, or swings open completely for access. A well-sealed, thermally efficient option for La Grange homeowners who want flexibility without sacrificing insulation.
French Doors
Two equal panels hinged on opposite sides and meeting at the center, available to swing inward or outward. A traditional choice that suits the historic character of many La Grange homes, particularly for rear patio access or interior room dividers with glass panels.

Storm Doors
A full-frame secondary door installed in front of your primary entry. Protects the main door from weather exposure and adds a thermal buffer that makes a measurable difference in older La Grange homes with less-insulated entry assemblies.

Bifold Patio Doors
A series of hinged panels that fold and compress to one side of the opening, leaving the full width unobstructed. Suited to La Grange homes with larger rear openings where the goal is a wide, open connection between the interior and a patio or deck.

Multi-Slide Patio Doors
Panels that slide and stack behind one another, either in front of the wall or recessed into a pocket. Provides a wider clear opening than standard sliding doors and works well in La Grange homes with generous patio or garden space.

Custom Doors
Produced to any dimensions, profile, or glass configuration you specify. The right choice when your opening is irregular, your architectural style is specific, or standard product lines don’t match what the project calls for.
Not Sure Which Style Fits Your Home?
Our team will review your openings, discuss your priorities, and give you straightforward recommendations during a free in-home consultation. No pressure, no upselling.
Frame Materials Available at Aurora Doors & Windows Product
Aurora works with two frame materials. Both are manufactured to the same quality standard. The right choice depends on your project priorities.
uPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride)
A dense, dimensionally stable polymer that holds its shape through repeated heating and cooling cycles. Does not conduct temperature the way aluminum does, never needs repainting, and won’t absorb moisture or swell like wood. The practical choice for La Grange homeowners who want performance without ongoing upkeep.
Aluminum (On Request)
A metal frame option with a narrower profile and higher structural rigidity than uPVC. Allows for larger glass areas and a more contemporary appearance. Best suited to commercial applications or residential projects with thermal breaks specified, since bare aluminum transfers cold readily in Illinois winters.

Glass Options
Choosing the right glass affects your heating bills, noise levels, and code compliance. Every Aurora unit can be specified with any of the following:
- Double-pane glass: An insulating unit with two glass layers and an argon-filled cavity between them. The baseline for energy-efficient window replacement in La Grange and the starting point for all our installations.
- Triple-pane glass: Three glass layers with two insulating cavities. The highest-performing thermal option we offer, and worth the added cost for north-facing or particularly exposed openings in older La Grange homes.
- Low-E glass: A microscopically thin metallic coating applied to one glass surface. Reduces radiant heat transfer in both directions, keeping warmth inside in winter and limiting solar heat gain in summer. ENERGY STAR certified for the North-Central climate zone.
- Tempered glass: Heat-treated for increased impact resistance and mandatory by Illinois building code in specific locations including low floor-level openings, skylights, and wet areas. Fragments into blunt granules rather than sharp pieces if broken.
- Laminated glass: Two glass layers bonded with a clear polymer interlayer that holds the panel together on impact. Adds meaningful sound attenuation and is a practical upgrade for La Grange homes on busier streets or close to the Metra tracks.
- Frosted glass: Surface-treated to scatter transmitted light and obscure direct views through the glass. Commonly specified for bathroom windows, entry sidelights, and interior glass partitions.

Questions from La Grange Homeowners
Do you work with homes in La Grange's Historic District?
Yes. We’re familiar with the exterior modification guidelines that apply to homes in La Grange’s locally and nationally registered historic areas. During the consultation we’ll discuss what product options are appropriate for your specific property and flag anything that may require village approval before work begins.
My home has openings that aren't standard sizes. Can you still help?
Every unit we produce is made to order from the measurements we take at your home. Non-standard dimensions are not a special request for us — they’re the norm in a village where most homes were built before window sizing was standardized. We don’t cut stock product to fit.
What does your 10-year warranty cover, and who handles repairs?
The warranty covers glass seals, hardware, frame integrity, and the workmanship of our installation crew. Repairs under warranty are carried out by our Illinois-based team, not a third-party service provider. Response times reflect a local operation, not a national manufacturer.
Can I buy windows or doors from you and have my own contractor install them?
Yes. Purchase-only orders are available. If you’re using an outside contractor, we recommend confirming they have experience with uPVC window systems. The installation method directly affects long-term air and water performance, so it’s worth verifying before the job starts.
How do your prices compare to what I'd pay at a home improvement store?
Our products are manufactured to your opening dimensions, not pulled from inventory and trimmed to approximate fit. The direct-from-manufacturer price point typically runs 20 to 30% below comparable retail for the same performance specifications. We provide itemized written quotes so the comparison is straightforward.
