3 Trends Shaping the Future of Doorglass Design
With home design constantly evolving, several key trends are influencing both new builds and renovations. One significant shift is the emphasis on maximizing natural light while maintaining the sense of privacy. Home owners are increasingly gravitating toward thinner window frames and larger glass panels, allowing light to flood into living spaces.
Another design trend is the resurgence of texture in both interior and exterior elements. Fluted and reeded textures have made a comeback, with homeowners embracing tactile surfaces that enhance visual appeal.
“We are dedicated to replicating textures and other accents in home design in our glass products, creating a seamless transition that complements exterior with interior décor,” shared Katie Sponseller, product designer at Novatech.
Deeper, darker hues are also emerging as popular choices for doors and exteriors. Complemented by the rising trend of black and matte gold hardware, these bold color choices add a touch of luxury and sophistication to entryways.
As one of the industry’s leading manufacturers of doors, doorglass and patio doors, Novatech is stepping into 2025 with innovative, cutting-edge designs that respond to these latest trends in home architecture. The collection’s 14 new doorglass products are designed to offer the perfect fusion of style, privacy, and functionality.
“Our goal has always been to stay ahead of the curve, delivering timeless yet trend-for- ward solutions,” said Sponseller. “The 2025 collection, as our largest new product launch to date, exemplifies this by blending aesthetics from the past with today’s modern lines to appeal to a larger demographic of home owners.”
Blending the Best of Both Worlds: Classic Meets Contemporary
Traditionally, doorglass products have been classified as either classic or contemporary. However, as design preferences evolve, Novatech is moving toward a more integrated approach, combining elements from both styles.
“Home owners today want doors that reflect their individuality,” says Sponseller. “We’ve responded by creating designs that honor timeless elegance while incorporating sleek, modern details. The best of the past designed with the elements of today.”
Check out the following featured designs from the 2025 collection for inspiration:
Rubik – A Masterpiece of Transitional Design
Rubik, one of the highlights of Novatech’s 2025 collection, exemplifies the seamless fusion of modern and classic design. Featuring perpendicular diamond glass lines and a center bevel cluster, Rubik transforms any entryway into a bold statement piece. Its play of light and texture creates a visually captivating experience, perfect for home owners who want to blend tradition with innovation.
Echo – Elevating Privacy with Silkscreen Innovation
Echo is a modern take on vertical reeded glass, crafted using a meticulous two-pass silkscreen process to achieve a 3D effect. This innovative design not only adds depth and texture but also enhances privacy while allowing natural light to pass through. Its combination of form and function makes it a standout choice for contemporary and retro- inspired homes alike.
Zen – The Evolution of Doorglass Design
Zen introduces a groundbreaking combination of ceramic ink artistry and silkscreen technology, available in frosted and clear glass with woodgrain accents. Home owners can select between walnut and aspen finishes, allowing them to customize the level of privacy and natural warmth. “Zen empowers home owners to create the perfect ambiance for their entryway,” says Sponseller.
Urbania-Loft – Blend of Form & Function
Beyond the 2025 doorglass collection, Novatech offers an expansive portfolio of patio doors for all types of budgets and projects. Designed for high-end residential projects, the full-aluminum thermally broken Urbania-Loft patio door combines sleek, modern aesthetics with advanced lift-and-slide functionality, offering large panels that provide unobstructed views, and blend elegance and efficiency.
