They give the room lightness, airiness and look very elegant. Glass is one of the most sought-after building and finishing materials, which are very popular among consumers.

Advantages of glass pack products

The main advantages of doors with glass inserts include:

  • possibility of installation in rooms without windows - the product passes light well;
  • modern windows perfectly cope with the functions of sound and heat insulation;
  • the design allows you to see those who came to visit, to follow the yard and what children in other rooms do.

Due to the transmission of sunlight in the premises, it is not necessary to switch on the light often, which entails a reduction in the financial cost of electricity. In the hallway of the house you can place light-loving potted plants. In addition, the doors look original, especially if the glass insert is not standard (square or rectangular), but of an unusual shape (round, triangular, wavy).

What are the?

There are two main types of glass doors:

  • Interior - are mounted indoors. Such products are divided into traditional swing structures, sliding and sliding. The last two types are used quite often, because they do not need a large area to open, and when closed, they almost merge with the wall and become one with it.
  • Input - installed at the entrance to the house. They are made in such a way as to protect the home from the penetration of cold. Products are found mainly in private properties - in an apartment building, few people dare to put the door,through which you can see everything that happens inside the room.

Thermal break products are a good version of the input design. In the winter season, ordinary doors let through the cold and can literally freeze. But for structures with thermal break, this is not terrible - they represent a canvas divided into several parts that conduct heat. When creating doors, a material with low thermal conductivity is used, due to which heat is stored and maintained in the house.

In country houses, some owners prefer to install the door with bars and windows. The grille provides additional protection against hacking and intruders.

Products are suitable for those who have doubts about the reliability of the construction with a double-glazed window, but wants to install it in their home.

Design

Glasses are inserted into the frame and in some cases protected - for this purpose, forged parts are used, acting as a decor.

Doors with single-glazed windows have an insert of two glasses - between them there is one chamber. It is filled with inert gases - most often it is argon or krypton, which increase sound insulation. Features of double-glazed windows - low weight, low price, but poor heat retention, so they are used for interior doors or entrance structures mounted at moderate temperatures.

Two-chamber double-glazed windows have three glasses and two air chambers, also filled with inert gases. Doors with similar glass packs withstand much better noise and provide a comfortable microclimate in the house.

Products with three-chamber double-glazed windows are more massive than others. The door is placed insert of four glasses, forming three cameras.

Such constructions are recommended to be installed in houses located in the zone of increased noise or harsh climatic conditions.
