Door Options
Decorative Glass

• Curb appeal & value: Turn a plain door into a distinctive focal point that can enhance perceived home value.
• Decide how much privacy you want – Different glass types obscure more or less of the view.
• Balance light and insulation needs – Today’s decorative inserts are also designed with energy efficiency in mind.
• Prioritise security: Specify tempered or laminated glass, and consider multi‑point locks on the door.
• Optimise energy efficiency: Choose insulated, low‑E units with warm‑edge spacers suited to Ottawa’s climate.
• Think about long-term maintenance – Some finishes are easier to clean and maintain than others.

Stained & Coloured Glass

• Style: Rich, artistic character that suits heritage and traditional homes.
• Security: When specified as tempered or laminated, it can resist impacts better than a double pane.
• Energy efficiency: Typically insulated units with low‑E and argon for performance comparable to many solid panels.

Frosted & etched glass

• Style: Soft, diffused light with excellent privacy—great for street‑facing entries.
• Security: The finish does not weaken the glass. Choose tempered or laminated for added strength; obscuration reduces direct sightlines into your home.
• Energy efficiency: Available in double or triple glazing. Low‑E coatings help manage heat loss/gain for Ottawa’s temperature swings.

Obscure & textured glass

• Style: Patterns that scatter light and blur shapes while maintaining brightness.
• Security: Visual distortion limits visibility from outside. Laminated versions improve impact resistance and hold fragments if broken.
• Energy efficiency: Insulated units perform well year‑round; combine with warm‑edge spacers to reduce edge‑of‑glass heat transfer.

Clear glass with accents

• Style: Minimalist and modern with subtle caming or etched details.
• Security: Large glass areas are weaker with standard glass, but using tempered or laminated glass makes them much stronger and safer.
• Energy efficiency: Excellent when specified as insulated low‑E glass; consider privacy films or interior shades if you want flexibility.

Bevelled & layered glass

• Style: Faceted edges refract light for a premium, sparkling look—ideal for a statement entry.
• Security: Often assembled from multiple pieces; laminated constructions provide the best protection while preserving the design.
• Energy efficiency: Quality sealed units with low‑E coatings maintain comfort; ensure reputable manufacturing to protect against seal failure.

Printed & layered designs

• Style: Digital printing or layered films create intricate patterns, frosted effects, or even custom imagery for a unique, modern look. Works well for both subtle privacy designs and bold decorative statements.
• Security: Printed layers are usually bonded between glass panes, making them resistant to scratches and fading. Multi-layer constructions add strength, but security depends on whether the insert includes tempered or laminated glass.
• Energy efficiency: When combined with insulated glass units, printed and layered inserts can incorporate low-E coatings and gas fills. The extra layers improve thermal performance while preserving the chosen aesthetic.
