looking for decorative glass for entry door
Comments (4)thanks for your tip. the glass selection at Lemieux doors looks great, however, I didn't find any one with caming similar to the avonlea by ThermaTru. also, could you tell me what the advantage of a solid wood door over fiberglass would be? I plan to paint it, and am not interested in a wood grain appearance. the door faces north east (hardly any direct sun light) in southern California. and it's fairly dry here. thanks...See MoreEntry Door
Comments (2)Go to ThermaTru Door dealer and order new matching set of glass inserts which offer obstruct glass to block the sunlight and change the glass inserts only without replacing the door. If needed you can also order and replace all weather stripping while you at it and you will have a new door. Good luck...See MoreTherma Tru Door
Comments (7)What type of frame comes with each (they have a paint grade and a stain grade frame)? What are each of the installers qualifications? Licensed and insured (real contractor or convenience store charlie)? Recommendations? Seen prior work? Where is the door coming from, a window and door supply or a box store? Interior finished and trimmed, or slap it in and run? Personally I would expect that door alone no installation to run $2500 - $3000....See MoreEntry door input needed.
Comments (18)I thought adding film to the storm door (and the same to the side lights if you want?) might work. I would paint the new front door and the shutters the same color, unless the door is to be stained/varnished a natural color. Then you can paint the shutters whatever you like. There is a marine grade varnish that protects teak trim and other wood on boats that are docked outside. It does not change color but it does have to be renewed periodically. You might ask about that for your door if it is to be stained or varnished....See MoreAngela Moutsatsos
