Glass Options Guide

Light, Character & Connection

image 77 (9)
Selecting Glass For Your Door

Glass choice isn’t just about appearance — it’s about how the door will be used and what you want it to do in your home.


Think about:

  • Light — How bright or diffused do you want the space to feel?

  • Privacy — How much visibility feels right from each side?

  • Insulation — Does the door face an interior room or outdoor weather?

 

Your answers will guide you toward glass that both looks right and works right — beautiful to live with, and built to last.
