Craftsmanship and Innovation: The Art of Feather River SDL Doors

Choosing the perfect door involves balancing aesthetic elegance, lasting durability, and practical functionality. Feather River's Simulated Divided Lites (SDL) doors masterfully integrate these qualities, providing discerning homeowners with an entrance that makes a sophisticated statement while withstanding the test of time. Ideal for new builds or renovations, SDL doors from Feather River deliver refined quality and versatile design options tailored to elevate any architectural style.

Timeless Elegance, Endless Options

SDL doors are admired for their authentic appearance, distinguished by meticulously crafted grids applied to both sides of the insulated glass to create the look of individually glazed panes. Feather River enriches this traditional charm with a remarkable selection of specialty glass styles, including Cord, Sandstone™, Hammered, Rain Fall™, Reeded, Cross Reed, Privacy, and Clear. These varied textures and clarity options allow homeowners unparalleled control in balancing natural light, aesthetics, and privacy.

Versatile SDL Bar Widths

Feather River provides multiple SDL bar widths to suit diverse design preferences, from the slender elegance of a 1 1/8" bar to the robust presence of a 5 5/8" bar. While the images shown represent just a selection of our popular grid layouts, a comprehensive range of designs is available in our catalog. Explore these options to discover the ideal style for your home's unique architectural character.

Durable Beauty, Built to Last

Constructed from robust, high-quality fiberglass, Feather River SDL doors resist common issues like denting, warping, and corrosion, making them exceptionally suited for diverse climates and challenging environments. Paired with a PVC non-rot jamb, these doors promise enduring structural integrity, safeguarding your entryway against moisture damage and enhancing long-term curb appeal.

Efficiency in Every Detail

Feather River SDL doors excel in energy performance, expertly designed to help homeowners maintain ideal indoor temperatures throughout the seasons. This thoughtful engineering not only ensures comfort but can help reduce heating and cooling costs, contributing to a greener, more sustainable home.
