At Door Masters of Texas, we are constantly looking to push the envelope with the unique doors that we create and there is no better example of that than the petroglyph door we recently created for a client, Lee. Lee, who owns a vacation home in St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, came to us with a few design examples of petroglyphs that have been found in that area that he hoped would work for a door design. Looking to incorporate the culture of the island into his doors out of respect for the people of the island, we poured over his ideas and came up with a sketch of one of the petroglyphs. The design had two doors meeting to create the petroglyph design when closed. From there we made a template and confirmed the arches with Lee. It took a lot of work to determine how the design would connect in the middle, but we eventually came up with an ideal design. Next, we made the doors and had the design ready for glass to be installed. We then added an application of our custom stain color and seven coats of high-gloss urethane to protect the doors from salt that comes from the ocean. The coating had the door looking extremely smooth! We also had to make partitions for the glass, as glass cannot be made that size. These were made to be as small and minimal as possible. Then we covered the partitions with a covered seal to protect the glass and to hide the connection of the glass pieces. The finished product was crated and shipped out to Miami before reaching its final destination in St. John. Our team at Door Masters of Texas are able to make intricate custom doors like these for any type of property. Whether it is for your vacation home in the U.S. Virgin Islands or for your home in Spring, TX; Cypress, TX; Houston, TX; Sugar Land, TX or the surrounding areas, we promise to provide you with a custom door you’ll be proud to call your own.
