Use the following tips to help you choose front door glass that works for your family and your specific needs.

• Privacy (or opacity): Transparent glass allows a visitor a clear view through the front door. Obscure glass only allows a view of shadows and color with no distinguishable shapes. Privacy ratings can help you understand the opacity of the glass. A privacy rating of 1 equals clear glass, while a privacy rating of 5 is somewhere in between clear and obscure. For ultimate privacy, go for a rating of 10!
• Caming: Caming is the metal banding that joins the decorative areas of the glass together. It can have a huge impact on the overall look of the entry of your home. Caming comes in a variety of finishes depending on the design and manufacturer, so be sure to match the caming in the door to the finish on your door hardware and outside lighting for a cohesive exterior look.
• Glass Configuration: When ordering your new door, take into account the size of the opening when choosing the glass. If you have enough room, you'll want to take advantage of sidelites, the individual panels that fit on each side of the door and allow for more light in the foyer. You can choose to go with a single sidelite or double sidelites. Most door glass design have matching sidelites, or you can go for a more simple look by choosing plain frosted glass. Decorative transoms are also available. Transoms are the windows that go above the front door. You can choose a matching transom to your door if available, or use a matching grid to your window pattern.
