Have you looked into 'acid etched glass' as an option? I recently had acid etched glass in a front ensuite window and had my door sidelight louvres done the same and it looks great. It is basically a white glass that lets the light in but you can't see through it, maybe a shadow at most. It was quit...

Thanks for that Ecoclassic. I'm on the north coast of NSW. Being in the door business, do you know anything about Dowell and whether or not they are have the coupling method you use. If not, I gather at least one of the doors would have to be made to lock in with the other door?

Kwila Posts for porticoLandscape & Garden Design
