Product Summary
Construction and Materials
RSL offers a sophisticated selection of door components, focusing on enhancing the aesthetic appeal and functionality of entryways. Their product categories encompass decorative glass, transoms, sidelights, doorglass, and specialized solutions like grilles, blinds between glass, and hurricane impact-resistant doorglass.
The construction and materials employed by RSL are designed to deliver both visual appeal and durability. For their decorative glass and doorglass options, RSL utilizes high-quality glass that can be embellished with various artistic treatments. This might include:
- Etching: Creating intricate patterns and designs through abrasive processes on the glass surface.
- Beveling: Shaping the edges of the glass to create angled surfaces that refract light, adding dimension and sparkle.
- Staining: Applying translucent or opaque colors to the glass for vibrant and decorative effects.
- Fusing: Layering and heating pieces of glass until they melt and fuse together, forming unique textures and embedded designs.
- V-grooving: Cutting precise channels into the glass surface to create linear or geometric designs.
In the case of grilles between glass and blinds between glass, RSL integrates these functional elements within the sealed insulating glass unit itself. This construction:
- Protects the grille or blind from dust, dirt, and damage.
- Eliminates the need for cleaning individual grille bars or blind slats.
- Provides a sleek, modern appearance.
The materials for these internal components would typically include:
- Grilles: Often made from aluminum or composite materials, designed to mimic the look of traditional grilles.
- Blinds: Constructed from lightweight yet durable materials like aluminum or PVC, allowing for easy adjustment of light and privacy.
For their hurricane impact-resistant doorglass, RSL employs specialized laminated glass technology. This construction involves:
- Multiple layers of glass: Bonded together with a strong interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB).
- Impact resistance: The interlayer is designed to hold the glass fragments together upon impact, preventing shattering and maintaining the integrity of the opening.
- Structural integrity: The entire unit is engineered to withstand extreme wind pressures and projectile impacts associated with severe weather events.
Transoms and sidelights, often designed to complement specific doorglass styles, are typically constructed with frames made from materials such as:
- Vinyl: Known for its durability, low maintenance, and energy efficiency.
- Fiberglass: Offers excellent strength, resistance to warping, and a wood-like appearance.
- Wood: Provides a classic aesthetic and can be customized with various finishes.
These frames house the glass elements, ensuring a secure and weather-tight seal. RSL's commitment to quality construction and material selection ensures their door components meet both aesthetic and performance demands.

Styles
RSL offers a diverse range of style options for their doorglass products, designed to complement various architectural aesthetics and personal preferences. These styles enhance both the curb appeal of a home and the interior ambiance.
The available styles can be broadly categorized by their decorative elements, privacy levels, and functional integrations. RSL specializes in crafting doorglass that incorporates artistry and utility, providing homeowners with choices that range from understated elegance to bold statements.
Key style options include:

Styles for grilles often include various patterns, such as colonial, diamond, or rectangular configurations, allowing for customization to match existing window styles or desired aesthetics.
- Blinds Between Glass: This innovative style integrates a light-filtering blind system within the sealed glass unit.

Many impact-resistant designs incorporate decorative glass elements or traditional grille patterns, ensuring that enhanced safety does not mean a sacrifice in aesthetics.
- Transoms and Sidelights: These complementary products are designed to work in conjunction with RSL's doorglass, offering expanded design possibilities for entryways. Transoms, typically placed above a door, and sidelights, positioned on either side, can feature matching or coordinating decorative glass, grilles, or clear glass options to create a cohesive and grand entrance.
Each style option is crafted with attention to detail and quality, ensuring that RSL doorglass products not only enhance the beauty of a home but also provide durability and functionality.
