Building A Better Entryway Thursday, March 1, 2007 Building A “ -_ -_ \ z C etter Entryway (NAPSA)—If you want to improve the look and feel of your home, learn to make an entrance. That’s the advice from interior designers who say that since entryways are the first thing houseguests see, they set the tone for the home’s style. Welcoming Entrances A simple way to improve the look of an entryway, increase nat- ural light and personalize the home is to use decorative doorglass. You can find energy-efficient doorglass with varyinglevels of privacy while still maintaining a sense of style—and some doorglass looks morelike a work of art than a functional piece of decor. For instance, ODL, Inc., a building products supplier known for its doorglass, recently introduced its Fluted Architectural Elements Doorglass. It features timeless designs complemented by generousfluted frames and corner medallions. The frames are styled after classic moldings and add another dimension to the finished look of the door, while the unique corner medallions can be coordinated to match the glass caming. Designed for wide-panel fiberglass doors, the glass is offered in four popular doorglass styles and four caming finishes: Expressions (brass or satin nickel), Paris (patina), Jacinto (wrought iron) and Heirlooms(brass). Similarly, the company’s Ventura doorglass can also help cre- ate a dramatic entryway. It fea- tures deeply beveled glass accented with faceted red and clear STRASS Swarovski Crystals, all set within rich patina caming. Decorative doorglass can dra- matically improve the look of an entryway and boost curb appeal. The intricately detailed design of the glass was meant to bring to mind the work of craftsmen from the past and conjure images of wrought iron gates, handcrafted quilts and the sparkle of jewels. In fact, each Ventura doorglass set is numbered by the designer, with only 50 sets available. All of the company’s doorglass carries a 20year warranty and can be used in entry doors to meet ENERGY STAR standards. Inside And Out Fine doorglass doesn’t just help improve the look of entryways—it can add to a home’s curb appeal as well. Curb appeal refers to how a home looks to a viewer standing in the street. Realtors say good curb appeal creates a powerful first impression that can add to the selling price of a home.
