Glass Walls and Custom Doors
An elegant touch
Framed glass walls and doorways are a classy option for partitioning space in your home or office. Whether it is to section off a home office or a home gym, this update to your living space will age well and remain a positive feature of your home. In an office setting, these accent walls can provide a modern alternative to cubicles and stagnant artificial lighting.
Choosing the right contractor for your project will depend on a range of factors, including budget, timeline, and style. The right contractor will be able to help you navigate the design, material selection, and logistics so that the process is smooth and easy to understand.
Framed glass walls that are well designed can be prefabricated to near completion off-site prior to installation, leaving manageable-sized pieces to arrange into place and a small amount of fitting to do to finish it all off. This approach is important to ensure everything stays flat and square. Glass is particularly unforgiving to imperfections in the framing, so careful planning and prefabrication make all the difference.
Choosing the right hardware and finish options will tie the project together to the rest of your existing space. Balancing these considerations during the design will ensure that this feature will age well and turn the heads of visitors for years to come. The finish we most commonly see is a matte black powder-coat, however, nearly any color is possible if matching a color palette is preferred.
A deeper look
In the ever-evolving world of interior design, there's a growing trend that combines contemporary style with functionality—custom metal doors and framed glass accent walls. These elements have become increasingly popular for their clean appearance and the unique ability to partition spaces without sacrificing natural light. If you're considering incorporating these features into your project, this guide will address common questions to help you make informed decisions.
Style
One of the key attractions of custom metal doors and framed glass accent walls is their versatility in complementing various design styles. Whether your aesthetic leans towards industrial chic, minimalist sophistication, or a more traditional look, these elements can be tailored to suit your preferences. Choose from sleek, monochromatic designs to intricate patterns and finishes that add a touch of artistic flair to your space.
Exploring Glass Options
The type of glass used in your custom metal doors and accent walls can significantly impact the overall aesthetic and functionality. Clear glass provides an open and airy feel, while frosted or tinted options offer increased privacy. Consider Low-E glass for energy efficiency, providing insulation without compromising the influx of natural light. Your choice of glass can transform a room, and exploring these options will ensure the perfect blend of style and practicality for your project.
Hardware Choices
Selecting the right hardware for your custom metal doors is an essential step in achieving the desired look and functionality. From sleek, minimalist handles to bold and statement-making pulls, the options are vast. Consider the overall design of your space and the mood you want to convey when choosing door hardware. Stainless steel, matte black, or brass finishes can all contribute to the unique character of your custom doors. Custom hardware can be built, or off the shelf hardware can be sourced and integrated into the design.
