Is glass door a good choice?

5 years ago

Hi! I have a confusion regarding the door hardware. I want to use the glass door handles and my husband likes the metallic things. And I am sure he is not going to agree on this of using the glass door handles. So isn't there any kind of solution that I can use both material glass as well as the metallic. Can anyone suggest me some idea?

A sliding door always leaves a gap which wont cut out noise. How about a bi fold door which gives a snug fit. You can then select triple glazed panels to further keep the noise down. I suggest looking at 'doors of distinction', amazing variety of glass patterns tho' may not be double/triple glazed or 'Steve Sherriff ' for ideas. Good luck. Bee

Hello. Those doors are beautiful and do not need glass that will block your view and compete for attention. My suggestion is to have clear glass. If you can find old style antiqued glass, or handmade glass that would be my vote. Otherwise just use plain glass. The key is the view through the doors (both ways). The doors will function as a frame so arrange furniture accordingly. I suggest new long curtains that hang closer to the ceiling. A beautiful neutral linen, or something that excites you. If you hang a vibrant or patterned curtain then your black sofa (is it a chair?) will not dominate the view through the doors. If you elect for a neutral curtain, then you may want to relocate the black sofa in favour of a more neutral piece. Beautiful home, what we can see of it. Good luck!

Hi Justin, thank you for taking the time to reply to our query. It is difficult to compare systems because Deceuninck have not published very much technical information about that specific product on their website, but whilst in general terms uPVC may be able to perform fractionally better for U-values than aluminium (it depends on the system), our experience is that with slide and swing doors the weather rating (water tightness, air permeability and wind loading) tend to be much lower. I would also query the information you were given about security. The reason I say that is I cannot find any reference to their slide & swing doors having been tested to PAS24 standards (Building Regs Doc Q) or Secured by Design award standards. The technology of slide and swing doors is developing quickly, but it is starting from nearly 25 years behind bifold doors so will take some time to catch up - that said they are moving along quickly and in certain circumstances offer an alternative to bifold doors. Good luck with your project!

Could you paint the doors the same colour as the walls? I am sure there is paint that covers aluminium If the glass is clear, put an opaque film on it? Having curtains seems to draw the eye. You want your eye to be drawn away. Perhaps some richly coloured artwork in the hall as a focus point.
