Amarr Designer’s Choice and Olympus: choose DC or OL documentation

Compare the DC and OL identifiers, design families and insulation choices before opening their shared specification entry.

Match the model before choosing a document

Identifier: Designer’s Choice and Olympus. This guide compares a family or related models. Use the exact configuration on your label.

Models covered: DC3200, DC3138, OL3200, OL3138. They are separate configurations; compare the applicable facts and documents below.

DC3200 and DC3138 identify Designer’s Choice; OL3200 and OL3138 identify Olympus. Amarr groups them in one specification entry, but the prefixes still select different design families.

Designer’s Choice describes stamped carriage-house designs; Olympus offers traditional and flush-style choices. Keep the design and complete code together when selecting the separate product resources below.

Both product pages list three-layer construction with polyurethane insulation in 1-3/8-inch or 2-inch options. Their shared published R-value range does not establish the exact rating of every configuration.

Match the original model, dimensions and glazing before asking about replacement sections. Shared construction descriptions and documentation do not establish interchangeable parts.

Before applying these details

  • These are two distinct design families and their exact configuration identifiers, grouped for document selection rather than asserted as interchangeable products.
  • An official catalogue entry does not confirm current stock, replacement-section compatibility or the specification of an installed door.
  • Insulation values are manufacturer-published figures for the stated options; glazing, size and installed conditions need their own assessment.
  • Individual specification revisions, size limits and installation clearances have not been checked.
  • Warranty entitlement, current availability and replacement-part compatibility remain unverified.
