A COMPOSITION TO DEFINE

Steel entry door

Consider the whole entrance: door, glass, handle, frame and threshold. Think about how it looks from the street and how you use it every day.

  1. The glass

    How much daylight should enter? What should remain private from the street?

  2. The handle

    Try the hardware and check the space around the door panel.

  3. The threshold

    Consider floor levels, passage and finishing transitions.

THREE ENTRANCE DIRECTIONS

How much room for glass?

Explore a composition preference. It guides the questions to ask without selecting a model for you.

01 / Solid panel

Let the panel lead.

The door’s design and the exterior materials give the entrance its expression. Light can come from other openings around it.

What to consider

Without glass in the panel, consider vestibule lighting and the other sources of daylight.

Would you rather emphasize the panel itself or welcome more daylight into the entrance?

Start with this direction

02 / Focused glazing

An accent of light.

A more contained glass area can punctuate the composition. Its position and design matter as much as its size.

What to consider

A small glass area does not automatically provide privacy: sightlines and the selected glazing still need discussion.

At what height and angle can the entrance be seen from the street or neighbouring homes?

Start with this direction

03 / More glass

Let the glass shape the design.

A more glazed composition brings daylight, neighbouring views and coverings into the same conversation. Proportions need to suit the existing opening.

What to consider

More glass alone says nothing about a product’s performance or privacy. Compare the exact configuration.

How would you balance the view, daylight and the moments when you want privacy?

Start with this direction

Concept drawings: not available models or finishes. Glazing, dimensions, privacy and compatibility must be confirmed.

FROM THE BROCHURE TO YOUR HOME

Three things to confirm.

Keep the name that interests you. Then ask about the exact product and how it fits your opening.

  1. The exact product

    Confirm the manufacturer, series or model, dimensions and selected options.

  2. The supporting details

    Ask for the technical sheet and warranty terms that apply to this configuration.

  3. The fit for your home

    Have measurements, finishing transitions, the scope of the quote and availability confirmed.

About these references

Luxe and Zen refer here to decorative glazing, not complete door models.

AROUND YOUR DOOR

Installation, down to the details.

The frame, joints and trim are planned with your new door. We clarify what can stay and which transitions need attention based on the condition of your entrance.

Joints and caulking

Surfaces, existing conditions and connections around the opening are assessed to define the preparation and joints needed with installation.

Interior trim and casings

Profiles, materials and details to preserve: interior finishes are coordinated with your door or window and the style of the room.

Have the quote specify inclusions, including trim, wall transitions, preparation and painting.

THERE IS MORE TO THE CHOICE

The opening. And everything around it.

Existing conditions, clearance, scope and finishing details shape the conversation. Our guided flow helps you arrive with clear priorities.
