Elliptical double doors made of dark stained Sipo wood with Rocky Mountain hardware & Flemish glass. Rockwood worked with Michael Pierce at Hughes Kitchens & Bath to build this door for his client. The owners were renovating & wanted to replace the existing fiberglass doors & transom with a full height wood door. Rockwood met them on site to create a digital template of the opening so that the new doors & trim would fit the existing conditions precisely (without a lot of fillers). We think its a beautiful addition to a great home. Photo by Rockwood Door & Millwork.
