Step back and capture the whole entry — surrounding stucco, roofline or parapet, steps, sidelites, and transom — so the showroom can judge scale and read whether the home is desert-modern, Mediterranean, or pueblo-adobe.
Photos that help choose a St. George iron door.
A handful of well-shot photos tells the showroom more than any measurement list: the architecture, the foyer, and — critically in this red-rock light — which way the entry faces the sun. Get those frames right and the team can spec the style, finish, and glass before you ever drive to Washington.
Helpful photo angles.
Send the Washington team a full exterior elevation, an interior foyer view, and a few frames that show the light — plus plans, inspiration, and any style notes you have. When the project includes a folding accordion patio wall, add the patio, its cover, and the view it opens toward. Shoot in the softer light of morning or late afternoon so the camera doesn't blow out against St. George's intense midday glare.
Shoot from inside looking out: floors, trim, wall depth, ceiling height, and how much the street or neighbors see in. That frame decides clear versus rain, sandblast, reflective, or switchable smart glass.
Note which compass direction the door faces and shoot it across the day. A west- or south-facing entry takes hard afternoon sun, which drives finish color, solar-control glass, and glare control.
What to include with the frames.
A few numbers and notes alongside the photos let the Washington team move straight to a recommendation instead of a round of follow-up questions.
- Opening size & swingRough width and height of the opening, and which way you want the door to swing, separate a stock-width fit from a custom commission.
- Sun direction & privacyNote the compass direction the entry faces and how much you want the foyer screened — that pairs the right glass or smart-glass package to the red-rock light.
- Patio scope & timingIf a folding accordion patio wall is part of the project, say so and show the covered area; flag your build or remodel timeline so freight and installer handoff can be planned.
