  • Publication number: 20260226786
    Abstract: A wall start for a modular wall. The wall start includes a base that affixes to an existing wall that may have irregularities and is not perfectly flat. The wall start also includes a connector coupled to the base. The connector and base can slide relative to one another to accommodate the irregularities in the existing wall. The base and connector are visually similar, providing an aesthetically pleasing coupling between the wall start and the wall. The connector can couple to a modular wall. A composite door including a glass panel and a panel frame. Levelers in the panel frame urge the panel frame and glass panel away from one another to load tension in the composite door, such that the glass panel and panel frame are mechanically united. The mechanical strength of the glass panel is joined with the strength of the panel frame to support the composite door.
