Feather River Doors: Unveiling the Elegance of Simulated Divided Lites
When it comes to infusing your home with character and
light while maintaining privacy and energy efficiency, Feather River's
Simulated Divided Lites (SDL) doors and sidelites stand out as exemplary
choices. This blog delves into the allure of Feather River's SDL offerings,
demonstrating how they blend traditional aesthetics with modern performance.
Simulated Divided Lites mimic the classic look of true
divided lite doors, where each pane of glass is individually framed in wood.
However, SDL doors offer this timeless aesthetic without compromising on the
energy efficiency and strength of a single, large pane of glass. This is
achieved by applying SDL bars on the exterior and interior of the glass,
creating the illusion of individual panes while maintaining a single, insulated
glass unit.
Expanded Options: Internal Grille Low-E and
Molded SDL Grilles
In our commitment to SDL innovation and customization,
Feather River Doors additionally includes Internal Grille Low-E and Molded SDL
Grilles. The Internal Grille Low-E option offers enhanced energy efficiency,
featuring grilles enclosed within tempered glass panes that reduce heat
transfer. This addition helps to ensure homes stay comfortable in any season
without sacrificing style.
Molded SDL Grilles further enrich the design possibilities.
These grilles are crafted to replicate the look of real divided lites but with
the benefits of modern materials. These options allow homeowners to achieve the
classic appearance of divided lites with improved functionality and energy
efficiency.
Feather River takes the SDL concept further by incorporating
a variety of glass types and privacy ratings, ensuring there's a perfect match
for every homeowner's taste and requirements. From the high-privacy options
like Cord and Sandstone™ to the clear views provided by Clear glass, the SDL
collection offers diversity without compromising on performance.
Energy Efficiency: A Core Consideration
Many doors in the SDL Collection are ENERGY STAR certified,
showcasing Feather River's commitment to reducing energy consumption without
sacrificing style. The introduction of Internal Grille Low-E glass options
further underscores our dedication to energy efficiency, providing an elegant
solution for homeowners looking to minimize their environmental impact.
Feather River's SDL doors are available in a variety of
configurations, including full lite and ¾ lite options, with grille options
ranging from 1-1/8" to 5-5/8". This variety ensures that whether your
home is modern, traditional, or somewhere in between, there's an SDL door that
will enhance its aesthetic and architectural style.
The Bottom Line
Feather River's Simulated Divided Lites doors and sidelites
offer an exquisite blend of traditional charm and modern functionality. With
their array of glass types, privacy ratings, and ENERGY STAR certification,
these doors not only elevate the curb appeal of your home but also enhance its
privacy and energy efficiency. Whether you're undertaking a new construction
project or looking to upgrade your existing entryway, consider the timeless
