The modern interior of an apartment , house or office is an excellent place to use glass doors of various designs. Their airy and laconic appearance perfectly fits into any situation, and the increased strength of the details of the door mechanism will allow using such doors for a very long time.
Types of glass doors
Depending on which door opening and closing mechanism is used in this particular model, three main types of glass doors are distinguished.
The first is a swinging glass door . They can have one or two sashes and open both inside the room and out. Frames for glass panels of doors can serve as platbands made of wood or metal, and they can be made out both in a tone suitable for the color of the glass, and in contrast, to distinguish the door as a structural element. Swing doors can be used as glass entrance doors to the room and as interroom.

The second type is the glass door-compartment . They are a leaf or several that run along the guide, fixed above the doorway in parallel to the wall, and thus carry out the door opening system. Very convenient for small rooms, when there is no possibility to place a swing structure. Doors-compartments significantly save space in the room. They can be used for cabinets with glass doors, but in this case it is necessary to choose opaque, matte or mirror surfaces, so that all things in the closet can not be seen.

Finally, the third kind of glass doors are pendulum structures . Their mechanism allows you to open and close the door in both directions. To make the movement of the door smoother, special mechanisms of docking are used, installed on the door. Such a design of doors is not yet used in residential premises, it is much more often found in offices or shopping centers.
