Dan Ross on a textured fiberglass door stained with a gel stain and streaked so it reads as wood, then clear-sealed, on composite jambs and sills that won't rot.

An architect's transom
Dan Ross on a stainable fiberglass door an architect designed: composite stainable jambs, a triangular transom, and SDL bars on one sheet of low-E glass.

This is a stainable fiberglass door. This is yet to be stained. We will be staining this. This one's going to be kind of cool because we're doing a triangular transom above it.
So the architect designed this transom and came to us with this idea and we're going to build this thing.
He wanted everything to look like wood. So we used composite, stainable jambs. So these are all composite. Again, the door is composite. So everything will be stained.
And then he wanted a door light that looked like it was individual pieces of glass. And we achieved that by using what they call an SDL bar, simulated divided light. And when you look down on an angle, you see a spacer bar. And it makes you think that these are individual pieces of glass, but it's not. It's one sheet of energy-efficient low-E glass. And it looks like an old school door once it's all stained up.
