Top 6 Glass Options for Residential Doors in Texas

Iron entry doors are incomplete without glass to balance out the darkness of the wrought iron door. Glass is a powerful neutralizer, so you should ensure that that this element in your iron exterior doors is made to your liking.

 

Glass options for contemporary iron doors range from energy-efficient materials to textured appearances for privacy. If you’re a homeowner looking into the different options for black steel doors in Houston, for example, we’ve got the ultimate guide on glass options ready for you.

Low-E

Low-emissivity or Low-E glass reduces the amount of UV and infrared light that enters your home through glass fixtures. This option is energy efficient for you, as it reflects the heat in the sunlight back out and keeps the indoor temperature steady.

Although this glass is completely transparent, it still offers protection from the outdoors weather, and in specific sun angles, the glass takes on a mirror effect as well. This is a good option for everyday use interior doors like the kitchen door or iron patio doors.

Flemish Glass

Flemish glass is a type of distorted glass that appears in a vague pattern. The unevenness contributes to the casual beauty of a modern iron door and also affords you some privacy. Flemish glass accomplishes this without jarring with the design of a wrought iron door, which we definitely appreciate!

Ribbed Glass

Ribbed glass is usually seen in older lawyers' and doctors' offices. With a pattern that gives you full privacy, this texture is created with the use of hot ribbed rollers applied to hot glass. Once installed, you'd be hard-pressed to see anything more than a vague silhouette through the door. This is perfect for a black steel front door!

Aquatex

Similar to Flemish glass, Aquatex has a cool ripple effect all over it. This textured glass can often obscure faces or small details but allows some visibility. However, the difference between this one and Flemish glass is that Aquatex is a lot more evenly spread out than Flemish glass is.

Rain Glass

As the name suggests, the pattern on this kind of glass resembles rain running down a surface. This unique element adds a biophilic touch to your home and is a lot more opaque than other sorts of designs. The vertical lines make it harder for people to even see silhouettes.

Ford Blue

Ford Blue is another option for the energy conscious! This glass is engineered for a tint that keeps both prying eyes and the heat from sunlight out. The mirror finish is an addition made, especially for folks who want to keep the clean look of transparent glass but would like to filter the sunlight and retain privacy.

The best part about glass customizations is that you don’t even have to look very far to get them added to your custom steel doors. Pinky's Iron Doors has all these options and more for their wide variety of high-quality, affordable iron doors.
