Half Sidelite Frame Kit

Our kit makes installation easy and quick. Just use a screwdriver to secure the inside frame to the outer frame, sandwiching the glass into place. More on installation.

Material & Painting/Staining (detailed painting instructions included in box):

Standard and Flat Profile frames for 1" thick glass are made of a superior quality polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend (PC/ABS). These are "High Heat" frames rated up to 200°F and are ideal if your door faces the sun or is behind a storm door that traps heat. Frames can be painted or stained without a primer. They can also be left tan or white unfinished and are "maintenance free" meaning they won't crack or discolor even without paint or stain. The tan frames are a better option if you plan to stain your frames, as they will provide a more wood-like background color and will require fewer coats of stain.

Frames for 1/2" thick glass are made of a high grade polypropylene and are also maintenance free, so they do not require paint. These are "High Heat" frames rated up to 200°F and are ideal if your door faces the sun or is behind a storm door that traps heat. If you do choose to paint or stain these frames, you will need a special adhesion promoting primer, which can be found in our paint section, alongside a curated selection of great paint colors that are specially formulated for doors & door glass frames.
