Contemporary glass double doors feature sleek, minimalist frames with expansive glass panels that maximize natural light penetration. The tempered safety glass provides strength while maintaining crystal-clear visibility. Advanced Low-E coatings reflect heat in summer and retain warmth in winter, while argon gas filling between panes creates superior insulation barriers.
This matters in Calgary, where bright winter days can still reach -25°C while summer temperatures soar to +30°C. The thermal performance keeps your home comfortable year-round, while the abundant natural light helps combat seasonal mood changes during our long winter months.
French double doors showcase multiple divided glass panels (mullions) within solid wood or composite frames, creating timeless elegance with practical functionality. Each individual pane is separately glazed and sealed, providing multiple thermal barriers. The traditional muntin bars can be authentic divided lights or decorative grilles between sealed glass units.
This design philosophy works beautifully in Calgary’s diverse architectural landscape, from heritage homes in Hillhurst to modern builds in Mahogany. The classic styling ages gracefully while the multi-pane construction provides backup protection – if one seal fails, the others maintain performance.
Decorative iron double doors combine artistic metalwork with robust steel construction, featuring powder-coated finishes that resist corrosion and UV damage. Hand-forged details and custom scrollwork create unique designs, while the solid metal construction provides maximum security. Thermal breaks in the frame prevent heat transfer through the metal.
These doors excel in Calgary’s harsh environment where security and weather resistance are paramount. The powder coating withstands temperature cycling from -40°C to +35°C without cracking or fading, while the substantial weight and multiple locking points deter break-ins during long winter nights.
Panel double doors offer unlimited customization with raised, recessed, or flat panel configurations in various materials including wood, fiberglass, and steel. Each panel can incorporate different textures, colors, or glass inserts. The panel construction provides structural rigidity while allowing for thermal expansion and contraction.
This adaptability suits Calgary’s eclectic neighborhoods perfectly, from Tudor Revival in Mount Royal to contemporary designs in Kensington. The panel system accommodates seasonal movement during our extreme temperature swings, maintaining tight seals and smooth operation year after year.
