Single Lite Sliding Door

A Single Pane, Floor to Head

One lite. No muntins, no grid, no divisions. The Single Lite fills a stained wood frame with one uninterrupted panel of textured glass running from the top rail to the bottom, and there is nothing else to look at.

Reeded or rain glass in an opening this size does something specific: it becomes a column of light in the room, and the shapes moving behind it turn into color rather than detail. On the version shown, the vertical texture of the glass echoes the vertical grain of the frame, and the whole door has one direction to it.

It is the simplest glazed door we make and, for a dark hallway or an interior bath, usually the most effective one.

Design Details

Choosing Your Glass

This door is glazed with a single large lite, so the glass style is the entire design decision. Rain is shown here and is the strongest choice, running unbroken vertical ripples the full height of the door. Acid etched gives a flat frosted panel and the most complete privacy, which suits a bathroom. Reamy pools and waves across a pane this large in a way that a small lite cannot show off. Aquatex pebbles the light evenly and reads quietest of the four. Select yours in the configurator above.

One Large Pane, No Margin for Error

A single tall lite gives the frame nothing to brace against. There is no muntin in the middle holding it square, so the corner joinery is doing all of it. We build these from solid wood in Pipersville, Pennsylvania, square them before glazing, and back the frame with our lifetime warranty against warping and twisting.
