Project Story
Therma-Tru Smooth-Star Double Front Doors in Walnut Creek, CA
AMG Doors & Windows transformed this Walnut Creek home with new Therma-Tru Smooth-Star fiberglass double entry doors and two matching sidelites. The white half-lite design replaces the dark original entry, introduces substantially more visible glass, and creates a brighter, more open entrance inside and out.
1. Project Overview
The service, brand, and reason for replacement
AMG Doors & Windows transformed this Walnut Creek home with new Therma-Tru Smooth-Star fiberglass double entry doors and two matching sidelites. The white half-lite design replaces the dark original entry, introduces substantially more visible glass, and creates a brighter, more open entrance inside and out.
2. Homeowner Pain Points
What the homeowner was dealing with
The original entrance featured dark double doors with narrow textured-glass sidelites. The solid panels created a visually heavy, enclosed appearance and limited the amount of glass within the doors themselves, leaving the interior entry feeling dark.
3. AMG Solution
What AMG Doors & Windows installed
AMG Doors & Windows replaced the entire entry with a coordinated Therma-Tru Smooth-Star fiberglass system: two white half-lite double doors with divided glass, black hardware, and a narrow full-height sidelite on each side.

What We Installed
What AMG Doors & Windows installed
For this Walnut Creek project, AMG removed the original dark double doors and textured sidelites and installed a coordinated Therma-Tru Smooth-Star half-lite fiberglass double-door system with two narrow sidelites.
4. Installation Details
How AMG installed this front door
The white Therma-Tru Smooth-Star double doors, divided-glass half-lite panels, two narrow full-height sidelites, and black hardware were installed as one coordinated entry system. The configuration preserves the substantial width of the original opening while extending glass across the doors and sidelites for a more open appearance.
5. Final Result
The improvement for the homeowner
The completed entry gives this Walnut Creek home a dramatically brighter and more updated appearance. The white Therma-Tru doors replace the dark, panel-heavy original entry, the half-lite glass and narrow sidelites provide more visual openness, and the interior receives significantly more daylight at the front of the home.
Why we recommended this product:
Therma-Tru Smooth-Star fiberglass doors offer a clean painted appearance with a smooth slab and a wide range of glass configurations. The half-lite divided glass and two matching sidelites let the new entry deliver a major visual update while preserving the scale of the original double-door opening.

Frequently Asked
