When it comes to composite doors, most people focus on the finished product. The colour, the style, the hardware. But for those in the trade, it’s the steps you don’t see that make the biggest difference.
One of those steps is glass preparation before fitting.
At Portico, every glazed unit is cleaned and prepped before it’s placed into the door. It’s a simple part of the process, but it plays a big role in ensuring the final finish meets the standard you expect.
Why prep before fitting?
Once the glass is fitted and sealed into the door, access is limited. Any dust, marks or debris left on the unit at that stage is far harder to deal with. In some cases, it can’t be corrected without removing and refitting the glass. By cleaning the glass before installation, we eliminate that risk entirely.
It means no trapped dust. No fingerprints sealed inside. No avoidable issues once the door reaches site.
Built for a cleaner finish
Glass is one of the first things customers notice when a door is installed. A clean, clear finish immediately reflects the quality of the product and the install.
For installers, it also saves time. There’s no need to spend extra time trying to clean inside edges or work around sealed units. The door arrives ready to fit, with one less thing to worry about on site.
Small step. Big impact.
It’s easy to overlook steps like this, but they’re what separate a standard process from a consistent one.
Every door goes through the same preparation. Every glazed panel is treated the same way. That consistency is what ensures every order meets the same standard, no matter the size or specification.
Built properly, from the start
At Portico, we focus on getting things right at every stage of the build. Glass prep is just one part of that.
Because once it’s in, there are no shortcuts.
