New Front Doors

A well-appointed contemporary-styled house on a canal in L.O..

Time to jazz-up the front entry a little bit.

And let just a little bit more light into the entryway without sacrificing any privacy.

Our clients kitchen cupboard doors had already been outfitted with some of the latest obscure glass on the market at that time, which they wanted us to match for the new door & sidelight.

We were able to track the exact product down on-line by comparing our digital photos with samples shown on the Benheim Architectural Glass web-site, which we found by typing the words OBSCURE GLASS into a search engine. Eventually we found www.bendheimarchitectural.com. As you can see, they sent us samples, which we took to the job-site to confirm the match. Our local glass supplier was then able to purchase the specialty obscure glass from Bendheim and use it to manufacature the insulated units we specified, and which we glazed into the new Simpson wood door & the original sidelight jamb assembly.

Both the new door & the new insulated glass unit for the direct-glazed sidelight were installed into the original jambs. No disturbing the interior or exterior trim, siding or drywall paint-lines.

The finished product. We call this type of installation MINIMAL INVASIVE SURGERY. In and out the same day. Check out the cool door pulls our client picked out for us to install on the interior & exterior.
