Unique & Custom Applications

Our client’s house in a neighborhood on the east facing flank of Mount Tabor with some rather creative and artistic architecture.

They’d like to gain just a modicum of natural light shining into their work-out room.

So they were thinking they might opt for a new door, maybe what they call a half-lite door with glass in top half of the door.

Since they had a real stile & rail wood door, we happened to mention that the top two panels could be replaced with glass & forgo replacing the whole door.

And so it was deemed an appropriate course of action to take. The door is shown here being prepped for having the panels removed.

Our technician Steve Hilt expertly machines off the overlapping portions of the stiles and rails that allow the panels to be removed.

The insulated glass is installed and prepped for the wet-glazing process that is applied for the exterior side.

New sticking is installed to replace that which was cut away, and to hold tight the glass panels into the door.
