FAQs Can your doors be used as pocket doors?Pocket doors are made
using standard size interior doors, which our doors are, and a pocket door frame
kit. Our doors work great as pocket doors. Can all of your doors be used as pantry doors?Yes they can. Our doors are wonderful for adding a special touch to a pantry area. We recommend using our specialty pantry door or one of our more opaque doors. The most important factor in choosing pantry doors is proximity of the pantry contents to the door. The closer objects are to any glass door the more visible they will be, depending on the transparency of the glass. Call 1-866-855-9220 or email us and we can help you decide which of our door styles is right for your pantry. Where can your doors be used?You can use our glass interior doors in any area of your home. Our clientele order our doors for offices, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and more. They use our doors as single doors, double doors, French doors, sliding glass pocket doors, sliding doors, and as pivoting doors. First you must decide the kind of application in which your door will be used. Then determine the level of transparency or opacity that meets your needs, and choose the appropriate style door. We sell doors that are completely transparent and others with varying levels of opacity. We offer jamb kits for both single and double door applications. Should you choose to include one (or more) in your order, they are shipped unassembled along with the door(s). They can be ordered with a variety of hinge finishes including bright brass, brushed chrome, bronze or satin nickel. If you have an existing door application, you can order the doors without a jamb kit and simply install them in the existing door opening. Click here to view our jamb kit pricing and details. Are your doors solid?All of our doors are produced with engineered stiles and rails. Engineered stiles and rails are produced using an engineered core with a veneer applied. The benefits to this type of door construction are greater dimensional stability, better veneer quality, more environmentally sensible as they make better use of the raw materials involved. Can you do custom sizes?Yes we can. We offer custom sizes but they are generally limited. Call us for pricing. 1-866-855-9220. How obscure (opaque) are your doors?No glass door is completely opaque. All glass doors will allow at least an image or outline to be seen through them. Opacity is difficult to accurately measure but the following estimates may be helpful in making your selection. Level 5 most opaque (least transparent), Level 1 least opaque (most transparent):
Is the glass the same on both sides?Decorative glass has a texture, v-groove, etching, or some other glass technique applied to one side of the glass and the other side is smooth. The pattern generally looks the same from either side, but we have a standard procedure to face the textured, v-grooved, etched, etc side towards you if you are standing on the side of the door where you have to push the door to open. If you are standing on the side where you have to pull the door open (hinge visible side) the textured side is not facing you. If you prefer the glass to be oriented differently please note this on the special instructions page as "textured glass facing hinge visible side". What Is Textured Glass?Textured glass is made by embossing a pattern onto molten glass to give the desired design or texture. The pattern is applied to one side of the glass, but the design can be clearly seen from both sides. Several of our special order door designs are made using textured glass. What Is Ceramic Frit?
