Shape and style aren’t the only considerations when it comes to choosing the glass for your entryway. Therma-Tru Benchmark offers a number of specialty glass options so you can customize your glass to meet your priorities.
Flush-Glazed Glass
Want a more expansive view? Glass built directly into the door during the manufacturing process eliminates the need for a lite frame, features clean lines, and provides a high-performance weather seal. It also offers up to a 16% increase in visible glass area compared to conventional lite frames.
Low-E Glass
Factory-coated Low-E glass delivers exceptional energy efficiency. In cold weather, Low-E glass can help reduce the loss of heat by reflecting the heat back inside the home. In warm weather, Low-E glass reflects the sun’s rays off the glass, helping to keep the interior of the home cool.
Divided Lites
Enhance the beauty of your door, and tailor it to complement your window patterns, with a variety of divided lite options.
What is a divided lite? Traditionally, individual panes of glass were held in place by wood or metal grilles to create a pattern. We recreate that traditional character by adding “dividers” to the glass in an array of profile, size and color options to give you the most flexibility of style.
-
Simulated Divided Lites (SDLs): Adhered to interior and exterior panes of tempered glass, these can be stained or painted. Choose wood-grained or smooth-textured.
-
Grilles Between Glass (GBGs): Thermally-sealed between panes of flat tempered glass for a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. Choose contour or flat shape in almond, white or bronze color.
-
Fixed Grilles: Molded as part of the glass frame on interior and exterior panes of tempered glass, these can be stained or painted.
You also get flexibility in your preferred glass, since glass options for divided lites include elegant privacy and textured glass, as well as energy-efficient Low-E and clear glass.
Internal Blinds
A cordless blind enclosed behind glass delivers privacy and convenience. You control the amount of light and privacy you want with the simplicity of a single handle.
-
No dangling cords — a kid- and pet-friendly choice!
-
Protected between two panes of tempered glass for enhanced safety and performance.
-
Blinds stay dust-free, and glass is easier to clean than traditional blinds.
