Our frameless glass doors are quite different from traditional glass doors. Instead of surrounding the whole door with a frame, our frameless glass doors use tiny tabs that screw into the stiles and rails of your home’s woodwork, creating a clean look while keeping scratches and dirt away from your surfaces.
Glass doors are more vulnerable to dirt and grime than wooden doors. However, keeping your glass door clean not only improves the look of your home, but it’s also essential to keep your doors functioning properly. The rail on which the door runs tends to collect a lot of dirt and dust, impeding how smoothly the door opens and closes. This poses a safety risk especially if you have little ones who are prone to yanking on doors.
