About Clear Glass
Masonite glass goes beyond a brilliant view. The glass in our doors is secured with warm-edge flexible spacers, providing clearer views, better sound reduction, superior durability and greater energy savings.
Clear. Quiet. Energy-Efficient.
The glass used in doors appears to be a single piece, but it’s actually two sheets connected with a spacer. While other manufacturers use failure-prone metal spacers, we employ warm-edge, non-metal spacers built to withstand the elements—and the test of time.
WARM-EDGE FLEXIBLE SPACERS
FULL METAL SPACERS
Warm-edge flexible spacers move as glass bows in or outward, providing superior performance for years to come.
Rigid full metal spacers are unresponsive to glass-bowing, resulting in seal failures.
