Huge Scenic Doors for Maximum Views
If your home calls for wide expanses of glass, check out the scenic doors from Marvin®. They come in stunning widths and with various modes of operation so you can pick the best style for your needs. We especially loved seeing the Modern Multi-Slide Door because it has narrow rails and stiles for large, unimpeded views. And the panels slide away to totally blur the line between inside and out! Choose between unidirectional or bi-parting configurations and if you want the panels to stack on the side(s) or disappear like a pocket door. There are all sorts of options to consider!
