Clear glass is the most popular material for bifold french doors, windows and front entrances alike. This is hardly surprising as it provides great views outside and maximises the amount of natural light entering homes. With its relatively affordable price, the glazing is also versatile, combinable with all door frame materials whether uPVC or hardwood timber.
Configure nowFront doors, whether glazed, unglazed or pre-finished, are one of the first parts of your home that stand out to visitors. This makes their design and any additional elements, such as overhead panels separated by leaded transoms, particularly important. A glass door and any sidelights should match your home’s exterior and make for a great first impression. Colour and details such as the door handle play a part here, as does the external door glass which opens the leaf and sets the lighting for a beautiful entrance scene.
At windows24.com power lies with the customer and a wide range of different external door glazings are available to choose from for your glass panel so that it perfectly suits your needs and desires. Classic clear glass, whether in the form of a bevelled or flat pane, is an ideal choice with the following benefits:
If your glass front door, however, opens into frequently used living spaces and increased privacy is of higher priority, another material such as a stained, frosted glass variant can also be selected in the configurator, along with the exact number, style, and shape of the panels.
Natural light flowing in through your front door to entrance areas and living rooms, is less harsh than artificial lighting and creates a subtle, comfortable atmosphere. In addition to your door’s glass inserts, daylight entry can also be increased through the addition of a glazed side panel, available in our full range of glazing options.
Semi-obscure ornamental glass, for instance, creates a secluded yet well-lit atmosphere while adding a toughened pane of laminated safety glass with its solid core increases security. The number and placement of side panels can also be determined. At windows24.com there are few limits to glass insert design options, allowing you to customise to fit the style of your choice.
A unique feature of clear glass is the slight green tint of the pane’s edge and the thicker the glass, the more radiant this hue. The effect is produced from iron oxides, a natural element used in glass manufacturing. The colouring is hardly visible from the outside and is often desirable to add character and a slight glow to glass inserts. If, however, you would rather have a door insert without this effect, then a white variant of clear glass can be used.
This variant is produced with extra low amounts of iron oxide which creates a clear white edge, rather than one with a green hue. The white hue is barely noticeable from the outside and light transmission is increased by around 6% compared to that of standard clear glass with its green edge tint.
Have your home’s entrance area make a statement and add an overhead insert or central element with inviting clear glass for a beautifully lit hallway or rooms.
