Types of glass used for doors

Before embarking on such an important issue as replacing broken glass, it is worth exploring the most profitable options that the modern industry provides us today in the manufacture of interior doors:

Decorative glass. This type of glass not only fits beautifully into any interior, but also makes it richer and more luxurious. But when replacing a broken element, you can face one problem - choose the right glass inserts with a similar pattern, similar to other doors in the apartment. That is why, in one case, broken glass can lead to the replacement of all canvases in the apartment. And this is a rather expensive option, because the cost of 1 sq. M. decorative glass - from a thousand rubles.
Ordinary glass. Ideal alternative to decorative glass, but requires additional processing. Ordinary glass is treated with special decorative films that give it an expensive look. Replacing such glass is several times cheaper than the first option.

Regular glass: the cheapest option to replace

Plexiglass. Unlike the two previous options, this type of glazing of interior doors is not fragile, but is subject to scratches, as a result of which it begins to grow dull and takes on an ugly appearance. It can also be pasted over with decorative foil, which will not only give the material a more beautiful appearance, but also protect it from scratches.

Attention! The most expensive option is decorative glass. Replacing it is a rather expensive option, because the cost of 1 sq.m. decorative glass - from a thousand rubles.

A simple option for replacing glass on interior doors

Regardless of what type of glass is installed in the interior doors, if necessary, it will need to be changed to a new one. The simplest option is installation using glazing beads or, as the people say, quarters, although this is not entirely correct. If you have just such an option, then dealing with glass replacement will be quite simple:

Pull the glazing beads using a chisel.
When the carnations appear, use pliers to remove the elements one by one, while supporting the broken glass.
Measure the parameters and go to the glass workshop.
Install the purchased decor and secure it with glazing beads.
If we are talking about ordinary glass, then before installation in place, it should be pasted over with a decorative film.

Fastening glass in the door with glazing beads

The solution to the problem is simple and everyone can cope with this, on their own, without the involvement of specialists.

Advice. It is necessary to remove the glazing beads very carefully so as not to damage the door leaf with nails.

Difficult option to replace broken glass on doors

There is an option for making doors that visually look like one integral canvas, which consists of wood and glass. Glazing beads, in this case, are absent. Therefore, glass replacement is carried out according to a different scheme - here you will have to disassemble the door into "planks". How to properly replace glass on such structures:

Inspect the door structure carefully. There should be fasteners under the plugs - confirmations or self-tapping screws.
Remove the canvas and place it on the floor.
Remove the plugs and unscrew the fasteners on one side.
Remove the sidewall of the curtain and take out the broken glass.
Install a new glass and assemble the door in the reverse order.

Advice. To avoid rattling glass after installation, experts recommend lubricating its edges with soapy water before installation.

Replacing glass, which is not fixed with glazing beads, but is part of a continuous door leaf, is a much more time-consuming process

Regardless of the method of installing glass in interior doors and the type of glass, the procedure for replacing it must be approached with responsibility. The slightest wrong movement can lead not only to incorrect installation, but also damage the door leaf itself.

When the blade is ready, glass replacement can be started with confidence. The main task is quite simple to accomplish.

The main thing is to follow the procedure in the correct order and use high-quality accompanying materials.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

Application of silicone (sealant) to all attachment points. The easiest way is correct around the entire perimeter, it will turn out to carry out the procedure with a construction gun, which will accurately distribute the sealant over the surface.
Then you need to take a pre-fitted piece of glass and pull a protective gasket over it.
Then the glass is mounted in the structure of the prepared door frame. Glass is the most fragile material among all that is used in the process of replacing a damaged structure. Therefore, you should not make an effort if the glass does not fit well into the grooves of the door. It would be better to cut the gasket or the glass itself, adjusting it to the desired size.
When the glass is inserted into the opening, it is required to reapply the silicone (sealant) on the other side with a construction gun.

Replacing damaged glass with your own hands is not difficult. The main thing is to take a responsible approach to the process of choosing materials and the very installation of glass in the opening of the door structure.

There are many different models of door leaves on the market today. Designs complemented by glass inserts are especially popular and in demand. However, there are times when the glass in the door needs to be replaced. This is most often due to poor product quality or careless handling of the sash.

Peculiarities

Nowadays, consumers are completely unlimited in the choice of finishing materials, decor, furniture and door panels for their home. A door matching in style and shade can be purchased for any interior, be it the popular timeless classics or the pretentious baroque.

Nowadays, in many homes you can find beautiful and elegant doors with a glass insert. It can be of various sizes. So, in stores you can find designs in which glass occupies almost the entire door leaf or specimens that have glass inserts made in the form of narrow stripes. Both of these options look attractive and stylish in their respective environments.

Often beautiful, but fragile inserts break in them, even with rather careful handling. This can lead to very unpleasant consequences. For example, one of the household members may be seriously injured by fragments of a glass insert.

Of course, the destruction of glass in the door leaf can occur not only due to low-quality raw materials. In case of careless handling of such structures, fragile inserts in them can also break. So, it is not recommended to slam such doors sharply, as this most often leads to disastrous consequences.

You should be especially careful with canvases with glass inserts if small children and pets live in the house or apartment.

Often, after playing, they sharply slam doors or throw something that can hit directly into the glass. This can lead to a very unpleasant outcome in the form of serious wounds.

Often the glass in the door still breaks or cracks and needs to be replaced. You can do this work quite well on your own. The main thing is to competently and seriously approach this issue and stock up on all the necessary tools and materials.

Types of glass

There are several types of glass that are installed in door leaves.

Stained glass. These glasses are the most expensive. Replacing such inserts is more difficult, since without it the interior may seem completely different and faded.
The usual. Classic glass surfaces can be supplemented with a special sticker in the form of a decorative film. Ordinary glasses are transparent and frosted.
Plexiglass. This material is not afraid of impacts and is more durable. It looks more like plastic, which is also often finished with a decorative film.

How to change?

Before directly replacing a damaged part, you must free the door from it.

First, you need to remove the door from the hinges (for more convenient work) and acquire some accessories.

Heavy gloves to protect against cuts.
Slotted wide screwdriver. With this tool, you can pry off the wooden platbands that hold the glass in the door. If your canvas is paneled (collapsible), then the screwdriver may not be useful at all.
Chisel. This tool is indispensable when working with materials such as wood.

Small hammer. The hammer will be needed in the work of securing the glazing beads with small finishing nails. If you are working with a paneled model, then it is better to buy a special rubber mallet to lightly drive in the panels during the assembly of the structure.
Stationery knife. You will need such a knife to remove the old sealant at the new glass installation site.
Rubberized insert or sealant. Special seals not only provide high-quality shrinkage of the fragile insert, but also prevent the appearance of rattling during the operation of the door leaf. A loose structure can also knock during use.
Construction paper bag, cardboard box or piece of thick paper. You will need the paper to carefully and safely wrap and remove the debris left over from the previous glass insert.

The following designs are used to install glazed interior doors.

Shield. These are products where glass is attached using special glazing beads by means of an overlay.
With grooves for insertion on one of the sides (they are royal). These are models in which glass is installed in the cavity of the door leaf.
Paneled. In these models, the glass is inserted into the grooves.

Paneled

In order to repair the paneled canvases, they must be almost completely disassembled into different parts. Many people are intimidated by the large number of details that make up such a door, but do not panic.

The structure may not be disassembled, but only open access to the glass.

To do this, you need to know the design of such a door.

Support in vertical position - side pillars of the door;
Cross support - holds longitudinal parts and glass;
Panels - thin components of the inserts located between the transverse elements;
The baguette part is the same transverse support, but it acts as a decorative insert.

Many paneled doors are made according to the tenon and groove principle. They are very easy to disassemble. When faced with these options, you do not have to clean the required areas of old sealant. After removing the damaged insert, a new glass is installed in the same place, and the door is assembled in the reverse order, after which it can be installed in its original place in the apartment.

After removing old and damaged glasses, it is necessary to immediately remove the fragments and any small items left from them. This is necessary in order to protect yourself and other household members from serious injuries.

Tsargovye

To replace the glass in the side door, it is also removed from the hinges and laid on a flat surface. After that, using a ruler and a chisel, you need to remove all the plugs located at the edges of the base. Using a screwdriver, remove all fasteners. Now you need to take a small hammer and a block and use them to separate the drawer over the entire surface of the canvas. This should be done from the bottom up.

After removing the drawer side, it is necessary to remove the old glass from the grooves together with silicone (of course, wearing gloves). At the end, you can safely install a new glass sheet of a suitable size into the grooves, place the drawer side in its original place, assemble the structure and install it on the hinges in the opening.

Shield

As a rule, glass in such traditional canvases is installed on the sash using glazing beads (wood fasteners). For work on replacing the insert, it is better to purchase new parts, since the old ones can be easily damaged during the installation or dismantling of the glass.

First you need to lightly tap the glazing beads with a screwdriver and a small hammer. It is necessary to loosen the insert a little, but do not remove the fasteners. Then you should remove the glazing beads at the top (only if the canvas is removed from the hinges).

After that, the remnants of the old glass are removed. Do not forget about removing the old sealing compound from the door leaf.

A new glass insert in such products is installed in a lumen previously treated with a sealant. If necessary, a glass seal can be used. Glazing beads are installed on top.

You can fix the parts that hold the glass in the shield base with small nails or silicone grease.

How can you glue?

If the glass in the door did not break or crack, but began to stagger, making unpleasant noises, then you can act in different ways.

Purchase a specialized "sanitary sealant" and apply it with a thin strip in the gaps between the glass and the wooden sheet;
Insert regular matches into the corners of the glass piece. Also, acrylic putty is suitable for this, which must be applied to the edges of the glass;
Small pieces of cork can be thoroughly greased with universal glue and inserted into the cracks around the perimeter of the glass insert;
Remove the glazing beads, apply sealant to the glass and install them again, but closer to the panel.

These simple works will solve the problem when the glass in the door leaf is loose and dangling. The main thing is to carry out all actions as accurately as possible.

How to hide a small crack?

If the glass in the interior door is cracked, then its repair and restoration of decorative functions can be done in the following way.

Glue a special adhesive for glass furniture;
Glue the affected part with epoxy glue;
Apply moldings to the cracks if they are along the edges of the insert;
Decorate with various films that will cover the damage;
Hide with stained glass films.

One of the most common options for restoring cracked glass in an interior door with your own hands should be considered in more detail.

First you need to stock up on silicone glue, a brush, a syringe and acetone, as well as detergent and clear varnish;
Next, you need to carefully prepare the glass insert and wash it thoroughly with a glass cleaner and warm water. You need to wash the inserts on both sides;

After they are completely dry, you need to degrease the area where the crack is. To do this, you need to take a cotton swab and moisten it well in acetone. On the degreased surface, the glue will be applied much better, and the service life of the glass restored in this way will be much longer;
It is also permissible to handle cracks with cotton swabs. However, when using such a device, you should pay attention to whether it leaves behind fibers on the damaged area of the glass;
After careful and careful handling of the damage, it is necessary to start gluing the crack.

To do this, you need to draw silicone glue into a syringe (of course, without a needle) and fill the crack with it as accurately as possible. Take your time getting started with such work. It should be done slowly and surely so that the composition is evenly distributed over the damaged area.
Today, in building materials stores, you can find tubes of glue equipped with very convenient nozzles with tips that help to squeeze out more impressive portions.

If the damage on the glass is large enough, then after applying the glue, it is worth sticking it on both sides with ordinary transparent tape. The work performed should be left for 12 hours until completely dry.
At the end of this work, you need to cover the crack surface with a colorless varnish. To do this, take a thin brush, dip it into the composition and draw over the bonding area. After that, you need to wait until the applied varnish is completely dry, and the work will be completed.

Successful examples and options

Doors with glass look organically in many interiors, and it does not matter at all whether stained glass or ordinary inserts are present in them. The main thing is to choose a design of a suitable style and color.

There are several organic and stylish ensembles to consider, which feature elegant doors with glass inserts.

The fashionable side door in black with transparent glass inserts will effectively stand out against the background of snow-white walls and a glossy milky floor. Next to such a detail, you can put a small light armchair and a metal floor lamp with a bell shade.
The structure of a dense chocolate shade with a thin glass line in the middle can be installed in a white room with an accent wall close in shade to the door leaf. The floor in such an environment should also be trimmed with white materials and furniture in snow-white and coffee tones should be placed in it.
A luxurious dark chocolate door with a long black glass insert will look perfect in a white room with a gray floor trimmed with glossy tiles. Support the dark canvas with wall shelves of a similar shade and a wood table that simulates light workmanship.
