On a Mission to Build the Brand – With Restaurant Doors that Stay Beautiful

“Early on, we had been using wood doors, but we had challenges with warping and maintenance issues due to the heavy traffic these doors experience. We then discovered the more resilient doors of Special-Lite in an American Cherry wood grain finish that fulfills our initial design intent. They look great and hold up well to the heavy use.” 

– Kevin Lorei, Senior Architect, Alan Hamm Architects
