Iron Doors in Spring

Spring runs from older wooded neighbourhoods near the original town out to the newer developments along the Grand Parkway and up toward The Woodlands. The common request we get here is the same across both: more light at the entry, because so many of these homes have a dark front hall.

That is exactly what an iron-and-glass door is for. Decorative wrought iron over insulated glass lets the daylight through while the ironwork and the frame carry the security. People are often surprised that a door can be mostly glass and still be the strongest point of entry on the house.

Under the heavy tree cover in older Spring, moisture is the enemy rather than sun. We seal the steel and the glazing line so a shaded, north-facing door does not start to weep rust at the bottom corners a few winters in.
