By far the most popular is Microgranite. It has a small texture and offers sufficient privacy. Vapor is very pretty glass and has a large watery ripply texture. It does distort the view into the home but less than the Microgranite or Rain. Streamed texture is so dense it can be recommended for bathrooms also.
Clear is used when you do want a view to the outdoors through the door insert. Clear is the most often used perhaps because many people want to be able to see their view when inside the home. This would be especially true for back entry doors. Oftentimes, coastal homes want to maintain their view outdoors also.
TEXTURED Privacy Inserts are for EXTERIOR doors only
(But clear is available if privacy is not an issue)
Since interior doors are single layered, the etched design will show on the glass. Therefore, we can offer frosted glass for our interior doors but not for the exterior door inserts.
Exterior door inserts are 2 layers with an airspace, therefore the design will not show. The following images reflect options for interior doors only. The exterior door insert image options are shown above.
See some etched glass doors with a variety of different designs. Glass doors can be the unique feature in your home or the design feature within the indoor space. Glass doors also break up the monotony of standard solid doors. Use something unique to define your home.
