Clear, obscure or tinted, sized to your lite frame with seamed edges.

Sidelites & transoms

Tall narrow lites and shaped transoms cut to match the elevation.

Insulated door units

Dual pane for exterior doors, obscure inboard lite where privacy matters.

Frit-printed accents

Ceramic borders and patterns fired into the glass. They stay put, where film peels.

SEND IT OVER

A drawing beats a phone call

DXF, DWG, PDF, a dimensioned sketch, or a photo of the part. We check holes and edge distances against the tempering limits before we price it, so the number is for a part we can actually make.

FAQ

Questions we get about residential door glass

Missing something? Call the shop. You will reach someone who has run the furnace.

Does door glass have to be tempered?

Glazing in doors and within 24" of a door edge is a hazardous location under the IRC, so it requires safety glazing. All our lites are permanently marked.

Can you match an obscure pattern we already use?

Send a sample or the pattern name and we'll confirm availability before you commit a program to it.

Do you do one-off replacement lites for dealers?

Yes. One-offs through production runs. A measured sketch, or the dimensions off the old lite, is enough to quote.
