Door Panel Materials and Finishes
The door panel is made from a combination of glass and aluminum and you can can choose from a variety of finishes: anodized, powder coat or Kynar (a resin with outstanding weather-resistant properties). Since the material is aluminum, you have a slew of color options from which to select. Below you'll find the standard aluminum panel finishes.
Door Panel Designs
Some homeowners choose a full clear glass panel framed with aluminum, others want alternating rows of aluminum and glass, and other owners go for a large lower glass panel. The design possibilities are without limit.
Hardware
Even the handles and locks offer a variety of styles and finishes. The popular Euro Series Lever Lock set (a top and bottom shootbolt locking system) can be finished in either bronze or stainless steel; the classic pivot door pull handle also adds brushed satin and white to the finishing list. Adding ladder pulls to your pivot doors, ranging in length from 1 to 8 feet, are yet another option.
