Etched Glass Doors
Custom Laundry Room & Sound Dampening Doors
An etched glass door is any door with a solid glass pane customized through sandblasting or acid etching to create a unique pattern or design on the surface. Also known as frosted glass, etched glass doors can provide adequate privacy while still allowing some light to pass through. Long prized for their decorative touch and customizable appearance, custom-etched glass doors from Allegheny Wood Works are an excellent way to add a personal touch to specialty rooms in your home like laundry rooms, home theaters, offices, pantries, and wine cellars.

Etched glass doors manufactured by Allegheny Wood Works are the perfect finishing touch to any home. The simple addition of an etched glass door can drastically improve the decor of your home, changing even the most mundane spaces like laundry rooms, offices, or pantries into an elegant and stylish part of your home. All etched glass doors are made in our in-house glass shop, giving our customers exceptional flexibility when deciding between door designs and sizes. Our etching process allows us to create a wide range of standard designs like laundry room doors or pantry doors, but can also etch stunning custom-designed artwork, borders, or wording.
While a custom-etched design can elevate the interior aesthetics of your home, it also works as a sound-dampening door. The solid wood door frame combined with a singular pane of heavy-duty glass can help reduce noise transfer from room to room. These custom sound-dampening doors are perfect for specialty rooms throughout your home like laundry rooms, home theaters, offices, and bedrooms. They can even be used as an exterior-facing sound-dampening door to areas like workshops, garages, or entryways. Allegheny Wood Works controls every step of the manufacturing process, providing unmatched flexibility and versatility for our customers.
Feel free to choose from any of our standard etched glass door designs to create a laundry room door unique to your decor. Designs may be either clear artwork with a frosted glass obscure background (shown to right) or obscure artwork with a clear background. The line drawings shown below are our standard artwork designs. You can also add your choice of standard border, standard art, and/or standard wording to any interior AWW450 Fullview door starts at $125. If you have custom artwork, borders, or wording that you would like to use, please contact us for an accurate price quote.

Etched and Frosted Art Glass
Etched Glass and Frosted Art Glass Wood Doors manufactured by Allegheny Wood Works offer a custom highlight for any home. Our etched glass and frosted glass is made right here in our own “in-house” glass shop.
In addition to standard artwork designs (shown below) such as Pantry, Laundry, and Wine Cellar, we also offer custom artwork and designs on clear glass or mirrors, Custom art can be company logos, scenic pictures, portraits, names, geometric designs, etc. (some samples are shown below).
Our graphic artists will work with you to put your favorite picture, drawing, or design on glass (subject to copyright restrictions). Since each piece of art glass is individually made, some variations in texture and shading will occur, creating unique pieces.
These glass options are available for both interior and exterior (insulated glass) doors, transoms, and sidelights. You are not limited to just a couple of wood species or predetermined door sizes. Since we manufacture the doors and also do the glass artwork, your doors can be made using any species of wood that we carry, in any door design that we make, and in any size.
Standard Etched Glass Options
- CLEAR GLASS: Etched Border, Etched Artwork, and Etched Wording on clear glass. (The majority of glass is clear with white artwork.)
- SANDBLASTED OBSCURE GLASS: Clear Border, Clear Artwork, and Clear Wording on sandblasted (obscure) glass. (The majority of the glass is obscure with clear artwork.)
V-Groove Glass Wood Doors
Allegheny Wood Works, Inc.’s partnership with a new glass manufacturer has allowed us to expand our glass offerings. We now offer decorative V-groove glass. These V-grooves are typically cut into full view glass doors where a decorative accent is desired. However, the V-groove can also be cut into other glass sizes where glass is replacing a wood panel in any of our door designs. Shown below are the V-groove options available.
Two common applications for V-grooves are to use the “colonial” pattern to make simulated 5, 10, and 15 lite doors and the “prairie” pattern to make simulated prairie style doors.
V-groove glass can be used in interior and exterior (insulated glass) doors, transoms, and sidelights.

Obscure Glass Options
The 400 Series glass door pricing includes the cost of 1/4″ clear safety glass. There is an additional cost for replacing the clear glass with white laminated glass or the tempered glass options shown below.
In addition to our 400 Series glass doors, you can create interesting and unique glass and wood doors, by replacing individual wood panels or all of the wood panels in any door design with any of the glass options. This allows you to carry a door design throughout your project and add glass accents in certain applications or locations.
We will gladly quote any glass options for you. Please contact us for pricing.

Mirrored Glass Doors and Framed Mirrors
Allegheny Wood Works, Inc. offers mirrors installed directly into your doors or solid wood framed mirrors that are manufactured to be installed onto your doors. All mirrors are “safety backed” for increased safety if a mirror is broken.
Mirrors installed into the doors replace the wood panels and are an integral part of the door. Doors can be mirrored on both sides, or have a wood panel on one side and a mirror on the other side.
While full view (AWW450 & AWW451) mirrored doors are the most common application, any wood panel can be replaced with a mirror on any of our door designs.
Our framed mirrors can be made of any wood species that we carry, are manufactured using the same molding profiles as our doors, and are dimensioned to install onto the main structural components of our doors.
Therefore, you will have a beautiful full view mirror that truly matches your door’s wood species, molding profile, and size
Custom sized framed mirrors can be made to your specifications.
Mirrors can also be etched.

Glass Door Profile Options
Our glass doors are available in any of our molding profiles (see below). Interior glass doors include 1/4″ clear tempered glass and are available in 1-3/8” or 1-3/4” thickness. For glass that is over 1/4″ thick, the door must be 1-3/4” thickness. All exterior doors are 1-3/4” thickness and include 1/2″ clear insulated glass.

Our rounded (M1 and M2) profiles are machined into one side of the door, and applied to the other side when the glass is installed. On our square (M3) profile doors, the glass sticking is applied to both sides of the door, and requires a small upcharge for each pane of glass in the door. Divided light doors (AWW400 through 441 series) are not available in square (M3) profile.
