Door Glass Frames

The long-term performance of an exterior door with a glass insert is dependent upon the doorglass framing system. Just as every building and remodeling project is different, so are specialized doorglass framing systems. ODL and Western Reflections frames are durable, flexible and available in several different visual styles to match the look of your home. They are manufactured with high-performance resin that requires less long-term maintenance, and are engineered for quick installation for a variety of exterior doors.

ZEEL® Frame

Designed to be stained or painted, ZEEL blends seamlessly into the entry door, allowing the doorglass to take center stage. This clean, low-profile look offers an alternative to flush-glazed doors that provides the benefits of a frame system with the style homeowners desire. FiberMate Plus® exceeds performance expectations in extreme environments, resisting scalloping and warping in severe temperatures and direct sunlight even when painted dark colors. Resolve sealant is immune to squeeze out and doesn't degrade over time, reducing service calls and warranty issues. This clean thermoset foam seal can be repositioned and stays consistent over time.

ZEEL Premium Paint and Stain-Ready White Plastic Frame

ZEEL eliminates the need for screws and cumbersome screw hole covers with an innovative clip system. This allows each frame to sit flush, streamlining installation. This increased efficiency offers an alternative to costly flush glazed doors. ZEEL is available in 15 of the most popular doorglass and sidelight sizes, including new options that provide a boost in aesthetics and performance across a range of residential styles and regional preferences.

Standard Frame

The standard ODL and Western Reflections glass frames are designed to provide a housing for door glass inserts in an entryway door. Standard frame comes in two colors options. Frame color selection should be driven by whether you want to paint or stain the frame to match your door, or leave the frame white. The white frame is designed to stay white, and will not require painting or staining (also not recommended). If you’d like to paint your frame to a specific color, it is recommended to get the tan frame. The tan frame is paint and stain ready, designed for you to apply the color paint of your choosing. Both white and tan standard frames are high performance plastics that have a wood grain texture to compliment your door glass insert. This frame type uses a wet caulk sealant.
