An inviting entrance area is a decisive factor in a guest’s first impression of your house. The door must blend in harmoniously with your home’s facade while the atmosphere created on the inside remains paramount. Well-lit entrance areas should not have to lead to compromises in terms of privacy. This is where our opaque structural glazings like Chinchilla come into play.
Configure nowIn the manufacturing process producing Chinchilla glazing, hot molten glass is poured between two rollers etched with patterns. Depending on the roller, different raised textures and designs are therefore left in the glass. The patterns can be on one side or both and differ in density.
Prisms, waves and other shapes can be created which cause light to be dispersed in different directions on the glass' surface. This guarantees privacy from curious onlookers while light still shines through, making Chinchilla glazing an ideal choice for bathrooms, offices and entrance doors alike.
In contrast to frosted glass with its shielding milky surface, objects and people inside can be seen more colourfully as moving blurred tones with Chinchilla glazing, which adds a unique and interesting look.
Did you know – Chinchilla glass is named after the small South American animal, given the similarity of its fur’s texture and the glazing’s fine patterned surfaces.
Appearance is not the only decisive factor to consider when purchasing a Chinchilla glazed door. The glass' functional performance is also crucial, especially for front doors. The configurator at windows24.com, easily accessible from this page, therefore offers a wide range of options to perfectly customise your Chinchilla glass door or side panels to your needs.
If security is of high priority for you, the following additional options can be selected from, for example, to maximise the robustness of your Chinchilla glass door and further protect your home:
Depending on the material of the door’s leaf, the above glazings can be added as an extra clear pane to your Chinchilla glazed panel’s exterior and have no impact on its pattern.
Reducing expensive energy costs is also often an important deciding factor for homeowners and here too Chinchilla glazed doors can be bespoke customised. The glazing itself already has good thermal properties, but choosing triple-glazing or a uPVC frame, with its multi-chamber profile system, then maximises insulation to even better thermal u-values of 0.83 W/m²K, meaning you can live in true comfort, free from the worry of unpleasant surprises where heating bills are concerned.
The benefits that Chinchilla glazing provides can also be found in other decorative glass variants. Similar yet different, glazings like Master-Carré® or Ornament 504, for example, subtly change the look of your entrance, such as by adding a green or white tint and a symmetrical square motif. Different glazings can go better with certain home façades or door materials so it’s down to personal design choice. At windows24.com, we give you countless options and expert advice, allowing you to make decisions according to your exact needs.
