Decoration wih Commercial glass doors
Interior design is different for each individual, but one thing that can add certain elegance to any house is the use of custom decorations. Commercial glass doors are nice if a homeowner wants to add a replacement door, or maybe have no interest in designing their own style door. But for those that want to be able to have their own unique type, having them custom built is the way to go.
Many people find it hard to plan out different aspects of their homes; and doors are one of the more difficult things to plan out. There are so many things that need to be considered before even purchasing the door(s) that are desired. Budget is a big consideration that needs to happen before even considering purchasing home décor of any kind. Wood doors – while normally less expensive than glass – need to be planned and budgeted accordingly. Most doors will start anywhere around $100 and keep going up from there, but it’s the doors that are going to start around $250+. Also the price is not the only thing to take into consideration. While wood doors are easy to get installed as they’re in one piece, glass will take a little more effort. Often time’s the pieces need to be docked in a frame in order to be used. Meaning the actual glass is not to be used by itself as a unit (that would be extremely dangerous). That is directly attributed to the higher costs. These specialty home décor materials also have the ability to come with many designs. Frosted styles are popular, especially for bathroom showers. Custom pieces give many options for various designs plus the same durability of a wood.
Some reasons for people not to consider buying glass closures in generally is solely based on material and composition. But on the contrary, these are made with a higher concentration of, or double sheets of glass. An example of a sturdy glass is that of a patio door. These are double sided with thick glass so it won’t break, and holds up well against the weather. These are obviously are more expensive, but are also just as sturdy as a wood. Although they are sturdier, that doesn’t mean that they are indestructible. Meaning that with enough force they can and will shatter, leaving a rather dangerous mess to clean up. But they are meant to be long lasting and can take some abuse without breaking under the pressure. There are also options that will break into dust and fine materials, rather than deadly shards.
Custom glass doors can be found at local specialty shops or with local contractors. Don’t mistake for sliding glass walls. Stick with reputable manufacturers, because glass products are a specialized industry. If the glass is indeed too thin, that can be deadly, especially if the custom door is being used for a shower. A fall can lead to horrible injuries if the shower wall or sliding walls purchased are not sturdy enough or installed properly.
