Glass Doors

What are the benefits of internal glass doors?

When it comes to contemporary interiors, toughened glass is a go-to material for a reason. Not only does it offer a unique appearance that achieves a modern yet timeless effect, but it also ensures strength and safety.

Toughened glass doors have the benefit of being able to blend seamlessly into all kinds of architectural and décor styles, creating a simple yet impactful visual statement that uplifts the ambience of the space as a whole.

The more glazing a door features, the more light is able to flow through the clear or translucent material, maximising the amount of natural light throughout the space and helping separate rooms to feel more connected.

The end result is a long-lasting door that makes interior spaces feel more open and bright, while still maintaining separations between rooms.

When you order glass from Express Toughening, you can create glass doors that fit your exact requirements and add sophistication to your home or workspace.

Do glass doors compromise privacy?

The unique advantage of glass over other door materials is that, like windows, they provide a secure barrier between one space and another without obscuring the view or blocking the light.

However, in some settings, completely clear glass may not be the best option. People don’t want to feel like they’re being watched all the time, so in cases where more privacy is preferred, tinting or frosting the glass can help to alleviate these concerns.

For example, while we supply clear and low-iron glass for extra clarity, we can also supply different finishes for a little more privacy – including frosted satin glass doors and tinted glass doors with a grey or bronze hue.

Being translucent, these types of glass doors still allow light to pass through, but even just a slightly higher level of opacity can allow a greater feeling of peace and confidentiality. This achieves an excellent balance while introducing an extra visual element.

Where can you use glass doors?

Wherever interiors lack sufficient natural light, whether it’s from small windows or not enough windows, glass doors can replace standard doors to help light spread throughout and make the whole place feel bigger and brighter than before.

Toughened glass doors are especially useful when separating different areas of a home or business. Whether it’s an apartment or an office, you can close off one room from another, maintaining their utility and preventing heat loss while keeping an atmosphere of openness and light.

Helping to create functional zones without taking up extra space or restricting the layout, glass doors are the ideal modern partition – whether it be between an open-plan office and meeting rooms, lounge area and kitchen, or bedroom and ensuite bathroom.

Urban, industrial, elegant, or minimalist – a versatile glass door can fit perfectly into any kind of interior design style, allowing them to be used almost anywhere.

However, remember to check UK building regulations for doors before you order, as it’s your responsibility to make sure your glass door is safe and suitable.
