All types

As with any type of door, glass doors can also have different types of opening. Here are the main ones.

Hinged glass doors

This is the simplest solution to implement also from the point of view of implementation. The hinged doors, being made of glass, are always and in any case thin and light despite the bulk they create with their opening radius inside the premises.

Sliding glass doors

The best choice for those who want to optimize space and focus on greater brightness especially for those environments with reduced dimensions. This type of door necessarily requires a masonry intervention to create a box to be walled into the wall.

Sliding glass doors

The intervention, on the other hand, must not be carried out in the case of sliding doors outside the wall which instead require the presence of an external track to be hooked to the wall and the absence of architraves and jambs.

Modern

Certainly the glass doors rhymes with modern, minimalist and very linear environments.

Classic glass doors

However, the choice of a glass door cannot be totally excluded in a classic context. In fact, there are solutions in which the wooden door is crossed by cuts of light or by portions of safety glass sheets, satin or transparent. The presence of essences in the finishes gives a touch of warmth and elegance.

Satin

Glass doors can also be used in cases where, for privacy reasons, it is necessary to avoid excessive introspection between one environment and another.

The solutions in these cases are the use of:

• sandblasted glass, obtained through a mechanical process based on the use of sand to make the sheet opaque and rough
• frosted glass, also called etched, it is smooth and uniform in the finish and almost velvety to the touch

Internal aluminum and glass doors

Here is a furnishing proposal with a high design content. A door of this kind arises from the skilful combination of light and thin metal profiles and the brilliance of the crystal panels.
