About Panes Windows & Doors

Learn about Panes Windows & Doors - premium window and door manufacturer since 2004. Factory-direct pricing, quality craftsmanship, and exceptional service across Chicagoland, Southern Ontario, and Central Iowa.

Our Story

Founded in 2004, Panes Windows & Doors began with a simple mission: deliver premium-quality windows and doors directly from the factory to homeowners, eliminating the middlemen and retail markups that drive up costs across the industry. What started as a small, family-owned operation in the Chicagoland area has grown into a trusted manufacturer serving three major markets across the United States and Canada. Our headquarters and showroom are located at 38 N Lively Blvd in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, where customers can see and touch our full product line before making a decision.

Where We Serve

Panes currently serves over 200 cities across three regions. Our largest market is the greater Chicagoland area, covering Chicago and its surrounding suburbs throughout Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, Kane, and McHenry counties. We also serve homeowners and builders across Southern Ontario, including the Greater Toronto Area, Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, and surrounding communities. Our newest market covers Central Iowa, anchored by Des Moines and West Des Moines, bringing factory-direct windows and doors to the heart of the Midwest.

What We Manufacture

Every Panes product is built to order in our own factory. Our vinyl window line includes double-hung, casement, bay, bow, picture, slider, awning, and shaped windows – all available in custom sizes to fit any opening. We also manufacture fiberglass and steel entry doors that enhance curb appeal and security, as well as sliding patio doors and multi-track patio doors that create seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces. With an average production time of just 14 days, homeowners and builders do not have to wait months for their custom orders.

Quality & Energy Performance

Quality is the foundation of everything we do at Panes. Every window and door we manufacture meets or exceeds ENERGY STAR certification standards. Our glass packages feature Low-E coatings that reflect heat while allowing natural light to pass through, argon gas fills between panes for superior insulation, and multi-chamber vinyl frames engineered to minimize thermal transfer. We offer both triple-pane and double-pane configurations to suit different climate zones and budgets. Every product is backed by our 25+ year comprehensive warranty covering materials, glass seals, and craftsmanship.

Our Team & Values

Panes remains a family-owned company committed to the values that built our reputation: honesty, craftsmanship, and personal service. Our factory team includes skilled craftsmen who take pride in building every window and door to exacting standards. Our installation crews are trained, experienced professionals who treat your home with the same care they would their own. From your first consultation through final installation, you work with knowledgeable product specialists who understand both the technical details and the design possibilities. We believe that buying windows and doors should be straightforward, transparent, and fair – and that is exactly the experience we deliver.
