Glass doors with a difference

Your front door – it’s the focal point of your home, the feature that welcomes you in every evening after a hard day’s work.

Yet your front door could be so much more! Step away from a solid build and consider instead a glazed door, and let the light flow into your home.

To inspire you, we’ve scoured the web for the most unusual or interesting glazed doors around – see which one whets your imagination!

Coastal Foyer in New York

This beautiful double door has a traditional feel to it, but the double aspect opens up the hallway to increase the light feature. Couple this with the attractive glazed panels, and you have a modern twist that lends itself to this airy foyer.

Pivot Front Door in Phoenix

This front door veers away from the traditional, featuring pivot hinges to provide a unique 3D effect. The textured and frosted glazing draws the eye, while offering privacy. Coupled with the beautifully designed steel the end result is a contemporary finish. Spacious and unique, it’s perfect to complement a modern home with a large hallway.

Sunset Overlook in San Francisco

This door uses glazing to look straight into the hall, with the contrasting frame drawing the eye inwards. It’s a hint of what is to come internally, with an architecturally designed perspective adding an extra twist.

You can see examples of all of the above here.

Perhaps one day we will see these gracing our homes?
