| One last question before I order. ThermaTru offers three styles in Smooth-Star for full view doors: Flush-glazed, flush, and W/ Stile Lines. I like the looks of flush-glazed but it does not allow to replace the glass, if broken, one needs to change the entire door (which is a big minus to me). The one with stile lines (if I am not mistaken) looks very traditional. I am hoping that "flush" is more more contemporary but I have never seen it and nobody has it in stock around here. In fact, the dealer has never heard of it. I searched the TT website high and low and couldn't find a decent picture. Could you give me some pointers what it looks like? Are there pix of any other doors that look similar? TIA! |

| The flush glazed is very nice and offers a more realistic look, as there is no "surround" that protrudes from the surface of the door. What I find however in dealing with clients is that most of them have grown accustomed to that look, so they'd rather save a few buck. |

| OK, after spending a long time on the phone, I figured out that "stiles" have nothing to do with the "glass surround" but imitate the look of a 4-piece door (well, unless it is wrong again, like what I was told yesterday). HomeSealed, I absolutely *hate* that round moulding around the glass and I am not trying to save "a few bucks" but I don't like the idea of having to replace the entire door should something happen to the glass. That is a lot more than a "few" bucks, isn't it? :-) And who can guarantee that ThermaTru will even have the same door in the same size in the future? I have just read a discussion on another forum of someone needed to replace the glass. So, is there a (sort of) discrete "glass surround"? If not, I would go with flush-glazed b/c I cannot stand that wide "moulding". Thank you! |
