Glass choices

Let the right light in.

Choose the glass as carefully as the door colour. Decorative glazing adds pattern and character, while backing glass changes the texture and view through the panel. Compare the examples below, then check the options for your chosen door style.

Decorative glass designs

Backing glass: texture & privacy

The June 2026 brochure shows these 13 backing-glass patterns. The same clock behind each sample helps illustrate how the texture changes the view through it. The red and black details belong to the clock, not to the glass itself.

Cotswold

An irregular vertical texture with a rippled appearance.

Satin

A smooth, softly frosted appearance for a simple finish.

Minster

An uneven, hammered-style texture with larger areas of distortion.

Charcoal Sticks

A close-set pattern of irregular vertical lines.

Everglade

A flowing leaf-like pattern for a decorative textured finish.

Stippolyte

A fine stippled texture that softens the view through the glass.

Contora

A fine, irregular texture with a softly mottled appearance.

Arctic

A bold, uneven texture with an ice-like appearance.

Oak

A subtle leafy pattern across an obscured background.

Florielle

A decorative floral texture with distinct rounded details.

Mayflower

A repeating flower-like pattern across the glass.

Autumn

A leafy texture with a more prominent natural pattern.

Reeded

Regular vertical ribs create a clearly defined linear texture.

These photographs illustrate appearance, not a measured privacy rating. Ask to see real samples: light levels, viewing distance and clear areas within a decorative design affect what you can see through the glass.

Choose the right combination

Start with your door style

The number, size and shape of the glazed panels determine which designs can be offered. Use the designer to compare the choices for that door.

Balance light and privacy

Look at the whole panel, including any clearer decorative areas. Ask Spectrum to confirm the backing glass and the privacy you need for your entrance.

Choose the glass surround separately

The standard or Ultimate cassette frames the glass; it is a separate choice from the pattern. Compare the glass surrounds below and confirm the exact combination is supported.

Explore the glazing options in Spectrum’s own designer, then ask Spectrum to confirm the design, backing glass, surround and any upgrade cost in your quotation.

Choose your glass surround

Ultimate cassette glass surrounds.

A glazing cassette is the surround that frames the glass in your door. Comp Door offers a standard curved surround and an optional Ultimate surround, so you can choose the detailing that suits your entrance.

Standard curved glass surrounds on a grey Comp Door

Standard surround

A curved edge gives the glazing a more sculpted, traditional appearance. This is the standard glass surround in the Comp Door range.

Slim Ultimate glass surrounds on a purple Comp Door

Ultimate surround

A super-slim profile gives the glass a cleaner, more contemporary outline, with less visible surround. It is an optional upgrade on selected glazed designs.

Black SleekSkin door with a smooth finish and brass hardware

Pair it with SleekSkin

Combine the slim surround with a smooth SleekSkin finish for a coordinated look. The June 2026 brochure specifically lists Whitmore and Aston for this combination; confirm the glazed configuration with Spectrum.

Which designs offer Ultimate surrounds?

The June 2026 brochure lists Whitmore, Aston, Abercorn, Bedford, Brampton, Cornwall, Derry, Hamilton, Hexham, Kelso, Monmouth, Montrose, Mowbray, Sussex, Sutherland, Richmond, Rutland, Wellington and Westminster.

The surround is a separate choice from the decorative glass pattern. Some glass designs adapt to the Ultimate surround, so compare the exact combination before ordering. An unglazed door has no glass surround.

Ask Spectrum to confirm compatibility, inside and outside finishes, and any upgrade cost in your written quotation.
