Champion Insight
One of the most exciting aspects of selecting a new entry door is the opportunity to personalize it—creating a perfect blend of beauty, function, and your unique style. At Champion Windows, we offer an extensive selection of glass and panel options to help you design an entryway that enhances your home's character while improving energy efficiency and security.
Decorative Glass Designs
Glass inserts add a striking dimension to your entryway, bringing in natural light and defining your home's style. Champion's glass options vary by size, pattern, and functionality—giving you the freedom to achieve your ideal balance of light, privacy, and design.
Lite Configurations
-
Full-Lite
Extending nearly the entire height of the door, full-lite designs maximize natural light and create an open, contemporary feel. Ideal for modern homes or entryways that benefit from abundant light, this style can be paired with frosted or textured glass to maintain privacy.
-
Three-Quarter-Lite
With glass in the top three-quarters of the door, this design strikes a beautiful balance between generous light and partial privacy. Perfect for homeowners who want a brighter, more spacious feel without completely revealing the interior.
-
Half-Lite
A classic choice, half-lite doors incorporate glass in the upper half of the door. This versatile design complements various architectural styles and can be enhanced with decorative patterns or grilles for added charm.
-
Quarter-Lite
Positioned at the top of the door, quarter-lite glass allows a modest amount of natural light while maintaining substantial privacy. This subtle design element pairs beautifully with solid panels and works particularly well in homes that already receive plenty of natural light.

Additional Glass Features
Clear Glass: Perfect for maximizing daylight and creating a clean, modern look, clear glass delivers unobstructed views and a bright, open ambiance.
Privacy Glass: Available in frosted, textured, or decorative patterns, privacy glass allows light to filter through while preventing direct visibility—ideal for homes near sidewalks, streets, or close neighbors.
Grilles and Divided Lites: Add classic appeal with grilles or simulated divided lites. Choose internal grilles for easy cleaning or external grilles for a more authentic architectural look—especially fitting for traditional, farmhouse, or craftsman-style homes.
Enclosed Blinds: For the best of both privacy and convenience, built-in blinds sealed between glass panes provide adjustable light control without dust or maintenance. These are a fantastic solution for busy households.
Energy-Efficient Glass: Many decorative glass options include Low-E (low-emissivity) coatings that reflect heat and harmful UV rays—enhancing thermal performance and helping reduce energy bills.
Panel, Sidelite & Transom Options
Your door's overall design extends beyond glass to include the architectural elements that frame and enhance its appearance.
Panel Styles: Select from classic raised-panel designs like the timeless six-panel door, or opt for sleek flush panels that complement more modern aesthetics. Panels can be paired with any lite configuration for a custom look.
Sidelites: These vertical glass windows installed alongside your door expand the entryway's openness and light. Sidelites enhance visibility and make the doorway feel more welcoming.
Transoms: A transom is a horizontal glass panel positioned above the door. It boosts natural light and adds architectural interest, making your entrance feel larger and more elegant.
