Glass Doors w/Wire Mesh

Glass Doors from Stone Manufacturing can be made with wire mesh in front of the glass, creating the illusion that it is a mesh door. Using a special Graylite 14 dark tinted glass with wire mesh in front of it, drastically reduces the reflection of the glass making it almost disappear. This gives you the energy saving and safety benefits of glass doors, while keeping with the period style.
