Exterior Door Stained Glass

Exterior door stained glass has been popular for over 100 years and it’s easy to see why. The main entry door at the front of the home is first thing that visitors see when they arrive and gives the first indication of the quality of the entire home and even its inhabitants.

In years past, stained and leaded glass panels were installed into the door as a one-for-one replacement for the clear glass without the benefit of any additional protection. Nowadays it’s standard practice to install clear double pane glass forming a triple pane to protect the stained glass art and provide better thermal insulation.

Front entry doors are not the only exterior doors that benefit from the addition of the stained glass; it is also perfect for doors leading into the back yard often eliminating the need for curtains or blinds by providing some privacy. Owners can also control the amount of light allowed through by choosing from hundreds of glass choices. More color and texture in the glass will let in less light and less color and minimal texture will allow more light through the exterior door stained glass artwork.

As you can see from the photos on this page, it’s not necessary to use a lot of color to achieve a colorful look as the colors from the outside grass, trees and flowers will create a stunning effect inside the home.
