We have redesigned the panels too – the Monza II has 8 wider panels, compared with the 12 on the original door, and the grain definition and look on the mid panel has been changed to book match design, improving the overall aesthetics of the door. “The Monza II is available with Left or Right Long Panel glazing cassettes, as well as a new style – the Oakmont – which features centred mid panels. “Customers who have already seen the new, improved design of the Monza II love it.” www.door-co.com.
