Finishes & Metal Types

Glass

What is Low-E 3?

Low-e is a coating that reflects up to 90% of the UV rays.  This benefits energy efficiency and helps preserve pressure interior finishes, furniture, and rugs from fading, etc.

Do you use Low-E 3?

Yes, on all exterior units, we use Low-E 3.  Low-E 3 is required by code in most municipalities.

How thick is your glass, is it double pane, and is it tempered?

All of our exterior units feature double-pane glass, with spacing that varies depending on the size and thickness of the pane. While building codes dictate tempered glass in certain applications, we exceed those standards by using tempered glass across all of our products. This ensures enhanced safety, exceptional strength, and lasting performance.

What about the glass on interior units?

Usually interior units are single pane, tempered glass, but of course, we can do whatever you require.

Measure & Install

Do you do the installation?

We install locally in the Atlanta area. We have a team of expert installers who will provide an exceptional installation process for your project. If your project is outside the Atlanta area, we can provide an installation guide for your carpenter or handyman.

How are your doors measured?

We provide shop drawings so you know exactly what the measurements are. Our stock units are measured from outside of the jamb to outside, and from the bottom of the threshold piece to the top of the header. Ask us more about this; we can walk you through how it’s done.

Do you have an installation guide you can provide?

Yes, we provide directions on how to install, and we are available anytime to help by phone, email or text.

How many people do you typically need to install the iron doors?

Depending on the size of the unit, normally two or three people can install them and it does not take long.

How are the units fastened?

Our doors and windows have predrilled holes for fastening to the structure.  You just screw or bolt them in, and when finished, caulk the hole and install the included plastic caps.
