Panels & Jambs

Maximizing the potential of natural materials.

Our engineered Coastal Douglas Fir core adds strength and stability to our panels and jambs*. Thick vertical grain skins of beautiful Coastal Douglas Fir hide the engineered core with no laminations interrupting the visible room surface**.

We offer 3-inch vertical stiles and top rail with a 4 5/16-inch bottom rail, and larger 4 5/16-inch vertical stiles and top rail with a 7 7/8-inch bottom rail. Our narrow stiles and top rail are joined using blind tenons, our standard stiles and top rail are joined using fluted hardwood dowels, both very secure and traditional millwork details.

Our 2 ¼” door program takes our already exceptional swinging door offering to new heights. These thicker panels add even more strength and stability, an important benefit for some of the larger doors we produce. These panels also allow us to include True Triple Glazing without surface-mounted glazing stops, adding to the renowned performance of these doors. The panel-mounted weatherstrip is one continuous length, meaning seamless protection against water and air infiltration.

Features

  • 2 ¼” thick panels or 1 ¾” thick panels
  • 4 9/16” jambs or 6 9/16” jambs
  • Engineered Coastal Douglas Fir core
  • Stiles and rails are joined using blind tenons or fluted hardwood dowels
  • Thick vertical grain skin, no laminations interrupting the visible room surface
  • Narrow Stile & Rail Option with 3” vertical stile & top rail, and 4 5/16 bottom rail
  • Standard Stile & Rail Option with 4 5/16 vertical stile & top rail, and 7 7/8 bottom rail
  • 2 ¼” doors include continuous length of panel-mounted weatherstrip

*This also allows us to be good stewards of our material, as we use any less desirable material and/or cut-offs to construct this unseen core.
**Not common amongst other manufacturers.

2 1/4" Inswing Door

All Wood

We offer beautiful All-Wood doors in addition to our Extruded Aluminum-Clad doors. Many of our all-wood doors come through our Custom Shop, be sure to visit our custom capabilities page and our social media galleries for more images.

Glazing & Glazing Appointments

Carefully spec’d sealed units and beautiful aesthetics.

Sealed units are built with minimum 1/8″ thick glass. This offers greater strength and clarity over thinner glass, making our products more insulative, more soundproof, more resistant to impact, and considerably more resistant to stresses caused by fluctuations in temperature. We also use full 1/2″ airspaces filled with Argon gas, in both our dual glazed and True Triple Glazed sealed units. These carefully selected specifications are improved further by using LowE window systems.

Square, Putty, and Ogee glazing stops are available. Architecturally correct grille patterns (complete with shadow bars) are also available in square, putty, and ogee profiles. Our black stainless-steel spacer bars are less conductive than aluminum and structurally superior to silicone foam spacers.

Features

  • Minimum 3mm thick glass
  • Airspace filled with Argon Gas
  • True Triple glazing available on 2 ¼” doors
  • Dual glazing with full ½” airspaces available on all doors
  • High-performing LowE window systems
  • Square, Putty, or Ogee glazing stops
  • Architecturally correct grille patterns (with shadow bars) in square, putty, and ogee profiles
  • High-performing black stainless-steel spacer bars

Glazing

True Triple Glazing

Our thick 2 1/4″ panels allow for True Triple Glazing (including full 1/2″ airspaces) without needing surface-mount glazing stops.

Glazing

Dual Glazing

Often our dual glazing offers more than enough energy performance.

High Performance Sills

A meticulously designed drainage system.

Our swinging Terrace doors include our standard bronze anodized sill made of a thick extruded aluminum. On most of our sills the extruded aluminum is thermally separated from a Coastal Douglas Fir substrate, with the sill designed to allow surface-draining of water. Our 2 ¼” inswing sill replaces the Coastal Douglas Fir substrate with polyamide, and also includes a splash guard and superb drainage using a positive/negative pressure ball-valve system.

Inswing Sill

Our 2 1/4" inswing door sill includes a polyamide thermal break, integrated splash guard, and ball-valve drainage system.

Screen & Storm Doors

To Complement Loewen Swinging Doors

Our premium swinging screen door complements our line of Swinging Terrace and French Doors. The screen door can be ordered for clad and all wood doors and is also available as a retrofit into any existing Loewen door frame.

Loewen has taken the functional screen door and designed a robust and clean aesthetic to enhance swinging terrace door entryways.

This is a complete door offering available in all current Loewen clad colors in an AAMA 2605 specification and all anodized finishes to match our doors and frames. Hinge assemblies are also color matched.

The removable standard screen panel is easily replaced with the optional storm panel for increased protection from the elements.

Large sizes are available – up to 3135 mm (123 7/16”) tall with screen only option. Narrow stile and rail dimensions of 2 7/8” allow for maximum openings. The strong construction allows the frame to be built without a bottom kick panel.

Storm & Screen Doors

Tampa Handle

Our Tampa swinging screen door handle comes standard with a deadbolt. We also offer our Concord swinging screen door handle.

Storm & Screen Doors

Glass Storm Panels

The screen panel can be removed and replaced with a glass panel for better protection against adverse weather.

Storm & Screen Doors

Self-Closers

Our Screen & Storm doors automatically come with a pair of self-closers. This system includes hold-open functionality.

Hardware

High quality handle sets and multipoint gear systems.

Multipoint locking hardware — complete with brass handle set and escutcheon — and dead bolt are standard on all Terrace Doors. The Hoppe HLS9000 multipoint gear system (including head and sill shoot bolts) are used on all 2 ¼˝ doors. An additional lock point, closer to the top of the panel, is standard on OSM frame heights starting at 2331mm (91 ¾˝).

Our robust hardware is constructed from solid metal including bronze, brass, or steel allowing for oversized units. Multiple hardware type and finish choices are available.
