An ideal door or window should consist of three basics; provide insulation, prove to be a strong barrier against whether, pollution and intruders and also look nice an elegant. And what better choice than a Gold Coast based glass door or window. Till a few decades ago, all the popular types of doors were large, heavy and sturdy and made from wood or metal. They imparted a medieval look with beautifully stained wood and intricately carved designs. While these doors may still seem beautiful to a few, they create a very dark and sulky atmosphere for your home. This is because they restrict the passage of light.
