The front door is the first point of
entry for household guests. It provides visitors and passersby a glimpse into
the personality of the inside of a home.
Because first impressions are
important, many homeowners opt for the elegance and beauty of decorative glass
paneled doors. There are many styles of decorative glass, giving homeowners
plenty of opportunity to find the panel that best complements the entrance to
their home. Below is information on a few of the types of glass used to create
decorative panels for entry doors.
Tempered Glass
Four to five times stronger than
standard glass, the strength and heat resistance of tempered comes from the
extreme heating and rapid cooling method from which it is produced. This causes
it to shatter into little oval-shaped pebbles instead of sharp shards if
broken, earning it the nickname "safety glass." In addition to
decorative door panels, tempered is used in the production of an immense
variety of products that include oven windows, computer screens and shower
doors.
Beveled Glass
Popular among door manufacturers,
beveled glass is a single pane with edges cut at an angle around the entire
perimeter. The beveled edges allow it to capture light in a unique way that
produces a wide spectrum of visually appealing colors. Beveled is typically cut
from standard glass. However, some artists and manufacturers also perform the
beveled process on colored textured glass to enhance the beauty of a design.
Frosted Glass
The exterior of frosted glass is
sandblasted or etched with acid, resulting in an opaque, translucent surface.
The dense lucidness of frosted glass provides a degree of privacy while still
allowing light to enter through the surface. Although featured on furniture
decor and other items, frosted is most popularly used with shower doors and
other entry areas owners wish to keep private yet bright.
Lead Glass
Lead glass is fabricated by connecting
glass pieces with thin strips of metal such as copper, zinc or lead to form a
decorative design. The most common type is stained glass.
Glue Chipped Glass
During this decorative process, clear
float glass is sandblasted and then covered with hot animal glue before dried
in the oven. The glue cools as it attaches to the glass, and then shrinks
during the drying process; ripping off thin shards that form random patterns in
the process. Glue chipping adds texture and
sophistication to glass, making it
popular for use on windows and doors. These are just some of the many types
of glass panels used for decorative doors. For more information on glass panels
