Types of glass doors

There are several main types.

Sliding doors

This well-thought-out design takes up a minimum of usable space, making it especially suitable for decorating small spaces.

Unlike the previous products, double-leaf models take up much more space, so they are most relevant in spacious rooms.

It has a very stylish and original look and at the same time a fairly high price category.

Pendulum

Due to a special mechanism, the pendulum interior structure opens freely in any direction. In addition, such products do not require a door frame and are extremely easy to install.

Sliding interior pencil case models are an ideal option that allows you to save space and has a truly aesthetic appearance that harmoniously combines with any stylistic and architectural solution.

What materials are used for doors in the apartment?

The following materials are used for production, which have both their advantages and disadvantages:

• Wood. Doors made of solid oak, pine or mahogany are not only the most beautiful, but also very reliable and durable structures, distinguished by a fairly high price.
• Metal. The combination of a thin metal frame with tempered glass gives the door leaf visual lightness and style.
• Plastic (PVC). Aesthetic, original and at the same time inexpensive interior models made of plastic with a glossy or matte finish, are particularly light and can have a wide variety of colors.
• All glass. They will undoubtedly become a decoration and an accent element of any design, and will also bring additional light and air into the room and visually expand the spatial boundaries.

Types of glass for doors

Glass elements, depending on the technique of execution, are divided into several varieties.

Frosted glass

It looks very light and elegant, creates a private atmosphere, but at the same time perfectly diffuses light. Frosted elements will look especially advantageous in the glazing of frame doors.

Black glass

Black opaque glass has a rather unusual and surprisingly beautiful look, which allows you to shade and favorably emphasize the overall design of the room.

With transparent glass

Interior products with transparent glass give the environment a unique style and gloss, visually increase the area and natural lighting.

Corrugated

It is distinguished by a special pattern and a unique, easily recognizable appearance. The ribbed texture of the glass adds spaciousness, openness and at the same time privacy and comfort to the room.

With bevel

Bevelling gives the glass insert spectacular cut, giving it a certain volume. The bevel can be rectilinear, curvilinear or have unusual and intricate shapes.

Tinted

White

Despite its simplicity, the white insert harmoniously combines with interior doors of any color, giving them brightness and saturation and can easily change the style and light filling of the room.

What style is best for the interior?

Design options in various styles:

• Classic. Interior doors with glazing, in the form of an imitation of a window with a white frame, canvases in calm beige, white, light brown colors, decorated with symmetrical glass facet inserts with correct lines and simple shapes, will become the visual compositional center of a classic interior.
• Provence. Interior products in pure and muted tones with elements of matte or transparent glass, decorated with sandblasted floral patterns, smooth lines and discreet ornaments are perfect for the Provence style. Also quite often here you can find door models with a French lattice, made of natural wood, MDF, veneer or eco-veneer.
• High-tech. Modern plastic and metal structures with horizontal, vertical corrugated or frosted glass stripes in combination with chrome fittings will not stand out from the overall design of advanced technologies.
• Minimalism. A room in a minimalist style assumes more brightness and light, so interior doors with transparent glass without patterns, having a regular geometric shape, will be especially appropriate here.
• Modern. Fully glazed transparent sliding models, designs such as a book or accordion, two-color products with plexiglass using tinting or color film, will perfectly fit into a modern setting.
• English. Most often, the English style uses natural large-sized models in dark tones, decorated with capitals or wide architraves. With the help of glass inserts, you can slightly lighten these massive canvases and give them grace.

Interior products with matte, transparent, grainy corrugated inserts or panels glazed in the middle are a fairly noticeable detail of the interior, so they should fit into the overall style without causing disharmony.
