A Solution to Steel Window and Door Thermal Challenges
Artisan Series is a solution for luxury residential, boutique commercial applications or historical projects. Our Artisan Series is NOT a variation of existing non-thermally broken European extrusion products or “enhanced” thermally broken profiles. Portella’s Artisan specialty doors utilize a GRP (fiberglass reinforced polyetherimide) which is a non-conducting material with steel, that combines strength and superior thermal performance.

We invite you to view the Artisan design guide on our Artisan product pages.
