Glass transoms, sidelights and door inserts that bring light to entries and hallways.
A transom above a door or a pair of sidelights beside it can transform a dark entry into a bright welcome. Door glass inserts can add light to a solid door without changing it completely, and replacement glass can refresh an older door whose glass has gone cloudy or cracked. Because these windows are part of a door system, size, safety glazing and sealing matter.
We measure the opening and the door, then discuss clear, frosted, textured or decorative glass. For doors and sidelights, we use tempered or laminated safety glass. We cut the glass to fit your frame or insert kit, set it with new glazing and seals and make sure the door still closes and locks properly. Because entry glass is seen every day by you and by guests, small details matter: even reveals around the glass, clean sealant lines and hardware that matches the door. We take time to get those right, and we leave the entry bright, tidy and ready for the next time the door closes.
