High up on the list of frequently asked questions from our customers is the question –
Are your glass door panels double glazed?
The simple answer is yes, they all are
The more complex answer is yes, the use of double glazed panels is essential to maintain the doors thermal and acoustic insulation qualities and assist with the structural integrity of the door – but the answer from the Global Door perspective goes much deeper- we know what our customers want and that is exactly what we at Global Door aim to provide, not only do they want a stunning range of doors in an exciting range of colours – they want glazing options that set there door aside from the rest and give it an individual feel, which is why we provide a range of options where door and glass are designed to be compatible that means a choice of over forty glass designs, something for everyone from simple obscures to complex coloured and leaded lights.
All of our glazing units are provided as pre-glazed cassettes which comprise the outer patterned glass the inner clear or obscure backing glass and the glazing bar frame and beading – the cassette slots into and is sealed into the preformed recess in the door.
A word of caution – always remember if you can see out others can see in so if you require privacy you will need to ensure that your backing glass is obscure – as glass is a transparent material it is difficult to portray accurate representations of some examples therefore if you are in any doubt as to whether your backing glass is clear or obscure – please ask – better to get it right first time. If you are experiencing difficulty in selecting your glass from the web site for a small cost we can provide a sample of your choice to ensure that you are getting exactly what you want.
