The glass door is not the last important and functional place in the design of the apartment interior. Along with other advantages of the glass door, it is worth noting and a visual increase in space in the area where such a door is located, and the penetration of more light into the room with poorly lit corners, and unusual decoration of the interior.

Glass doors
Exquisite look and ease of perception of any kind of interior will give glass interior doors. Doors made of glass will make the interior refined and unique. The originality and unusual effect created by the door can be achieved by applying a sandblasting pattern to the surface of the door glass.
Innovation in the market in the class of these goods can be considered models, the creation of which applied the application at a microscopic level of the composition that creates a matte effect. The technology of application is quite complicated, requires a certain amount of time, effort and skill, but the effect is pleasing to the eyes of any buyer.
The application of the composition for the matte effect is carried out by the finest lines. For example, if the glass matte door is set to a lumen, then when a light hits the material, a simultaneous multiple refraction of the latter takes place, which in turn creates a unique, surprising effect.
Types of glass interior doors
The purpose of the glass door can be different, therefore, the manufacture of several basic types is envisaged. For example, if it is necessary to install a door that opens in both directions, mount the pendulum-shaped glass doors, and if necessary, open the doors in one direction - set the swing models.
Installation of the latter is done in a door frame. When installing a pendulum model in a box is not necessary, fastening is made to the ceiling and the floor.
Unusually in modern interiors look the doors of a triplex, which is two glasses with a colored film between them (often black).
A special demand is the mirror image of the doors
Often, all constructions of translucent materials are made of a safe, hardened stele, about 10 mm thick. Products of this kind are famous for their high percentage of strength in relation to similar products from other materials, even despite seeming airiness and brittleness.
In addition to the pendulum and swing-type, there is one more, no less popular - a coupe.
Sliding glass doors are an excellent choice for saving usable space. To learn more about sliding doors and learn how to install them, you can watch the video:
The movement of the parts of such a door occurs only along the guides.
With the help of this kind of doors, designers easily realize the boldest ideas.
Fittings for glass doors
First of all it is worth noting that the cost of accessories for doors made of glass will be an order of magnitude higher than the cost of similar accessories for doors made of plastic, wood, metal. The reason for this cost lies in the need for ideally designed and manufactured all the elements and fragments of the fittings.
Given the considerable weight of thick glass, the hinges for glass doors are made of durable and reliable materials, each type of hinge is recommended for installing glass with a certain mass and dimensions.
Glass is a special and original material. In combination with it, any element, any detail, passes a kind of test for quality and artistic usefulness.
In addition to the main task of providing a hassle-free and easy opening, all hardware fragments must proportionally complement and harmoniously emphasize the natural, natural, natural look of the glass and the flickering of the polished edges. Such an effect can be achieved only in the case when the quality of a small, at first glance insignificant detail, is performed impeccably.
Fittings designed for glass doors usually take a special place along with other similar products. Having small dimensions, the fragments of the fittings stand weight many times higher than their own.
Often, the accessories for glass are made of stainless steel or aluminum, in appearance - matte or polished. In special cases, when the customer wishes or requires a special, refined style of the interior created, anodized accessories (that is, gold), painted in the desired colors or made of brass, can be ordered.
Quite a few manufacturers produce fragments of accessories made in one style. In other words, brackets, handles for glass doors, fastening units and hinges are made of the same material, in the same manner of execution and assembled in one set. The use of such fragments in different combinations makes it possible to equip in one key not only the glass door, but also the entire glass partition as a whole.
How to make glass doors, their features
Matte glass doors, as well as transparent ones made of solid glass are increasingly used in combination with systems that automatically open doors, code locks working on electronics, electric latches working on remote control. Leading firms working with these types of electronics offer customers special device models perfectly matching with the glass doors.
The production of glass quality linen is the result of accurate, scrupulous and accurate work of a multitude of highly qualified specialists in a complex of special modern equipment using the latest technologies. Therefore, the opinion that this work is laconic and simple is inappropriate.
Only specialists with specific experience in high-tech equipment can cut and process the glass canvas, and do this with an accuracy of a tenth of a millimeter; Make an ideal surface trapezoidal polished edge; immaculately drill the holes of the desired diameter; correctly and accurately design the most complicated figured notches intended for installation of fittings.
Strict requirements for microscopic accuracy are not without purpose - the installation of a glass door excludes the possibility of fitting in place, as it is permissible, for example, in working with other similarly used materials. Glass past hardening is not subjected to secondary or additional processing.
Glass doors in a modern interior
Today, minimalism and high-tech style are very popular. Their main characteristics are the ease of the structures used, the airiness and the prudent elegance.
It is under the characteristics of these styles most fit the door of glass. Transparent or matte entrance openings are an excellent alternative to solid, for example, wooden or partially glazed fragments of structures of a similar purpose.
Historical information about the doors made of solid glass can be found in the description of the interior dating from the last century. At that time in the fashion of the architects was constructivism. The main task of this trend was the search for new and original spheres of use of conventional, well-known materials. Quite often, the ideas and fantasies of the then architects were far ahead of the development of industry and technology, which in turn limited the implementation of many designs.
However, many ideas of the then innovators were quite feasible. Not as fast as we would like, but surely science, experience and industry embodied new concepts.
At the end of the XX century, high-tech style won the first place in popularity among all styles of decoration of premises. It was he who brought new ideas in the use of partitions of glass and doors, not only for decorating public spaces, but also for decorating the living space. Doors of glass mounted without a frame were used in the design of shower cabins, saunas, bathrooms.
The rapid development of production and innovation of technologies in this industry made it possible in the course of time to start making special glass with the help of thermal hardening. After the quenching procedure, the glass changes in the crystal lattice, so its significant increase in strength occurs.
To date, the technology in this area has reached the maximum level of security. Even if the glass of this kind is still broken, then its fragments will be:
numerous and very small (1 cm in diameter)
the edges will not be sharp.
Such material characteristics reduce the traumatism from it to a minimum.
How to install a glass door
Before starting the installation of the door, you need to pull the glass out of the box, this procedure should be done on the floor covered with a soft carpet. The glass after removal from the box can be laid on the rack, which was used for packaging. Then remove the protective covers from the hinges, loosen the screws, turn out the hinges.
Depending on whether the door is left-sided or right-handed, install the door jamb on the opposite side. With it, you should carry the seal. Next, the box will need to be lifted in the doorway, in accordance with the opening side. When installing the box as mounting material using mounting wedges, fasten the upper screws with a loop and opposite sides.
After fixing the position of the box, tighten the screws on the loop side and check that it is correctly installed with the level. With a satisfactory result, you can insert the glass into the box and tighten the screws more tightly. After that, the safety covers are installed on the hinges. With the help of a triangle, the accuracy of the installation is checked, when closing the door, make sure that the necessary door gap is available.
