Broken glass in the door of the room is an unpleasant thing, spoiling the mood and interior of the apartment. In addition, unsafe and fraught with cuts and other injuries. What to do? Carefully collect splinters and urgently engage in glasswork.

Can't do without a professional?

True, experts do not advise mastering these same works for amateurs. The design of a modern apartment is so complex and advanced that the amateur most likely simply will not be able to understand the design, he will not understand the glass fastening scheme. Even a professional carpenter who is not familiar with the technological innovations of repair and with the features of your particular model, it is quite possible to screw up this work. And you pay the glazing twice: to him and the master for eliminating the marriage.

This is the case if you invested in a good designer and an expensive team of builders and your interior doors are decorated with glass baguettes, ryushechkami, color and mirrors. If your apartment is the simplest, without the bells and whistles you are used to doing with your own hands, you will not encounter any transcendent difficulties in replacing the transparent rectangle between the room and the corridor.

Hopelessness with triplex

First, let's figure out whose production your door is and how glass was fixed in its canvas. Because if it is veneered by the Ulyanovsk factory with 10 millimeters thick glass (with the standard 4–6), you still can’t do without contacting the master: this is a triplex that cannot be replaced on its own. Triplex is mounted exclusively on the factory floor and is so expensive that it’s cheaper to buy and install a new door.

Option One (Simple)

In domestic economy-class veneered doors, glass is simply placed on top. In this case, we breathe a sigh of relief, measure the “vacant” opening with a tape measure or a centimeter, go to the workshop, order a new glass - and carefully insert it. We coat with silicone gel; dries up - remove the smudges with a cloth.

An important point: do not forget to climb a ruler into the cell in which the glass was standing, and measure the depth necessary for fixing it. Usually this is a centimeter or two. But if you do not add it to the length and width of a future purchase, you will have to repeat it.

Option Two (also “economy class”)

It happens that the glass is fastened with a glazing bead with decorative nails. In this case, you can also cope with its own replacement. We take a sigh of relief, measure with a tape measure ... (See the first paragraph of the text in the previous subheading. The second, however, also does not interfere with re-reading). The only difference: after the broken or cracked glass is removed, the glazing beads are removed, and when a new one is inserted, they are put back and hammered in with the same nails that were originally in place.

Third option (collapsible)

Suppose you have collapsible business-class doors. This option is more complicated. The door will have to be disassembled. To do this, unscrew the bolts under the rivets from the sides of the door leaf, bottom and top. The main difficulty is to assemble the door back: distortions are possible!

Option Four: if the glass is irregularly shaped

Even standard rectangular glass can be inserted when there is some experience in this matter. If it is oval or even a zigzag ... It is important to guess with the size so that you do not have to buy it again and again. It is better to remove the dimensions of broken glass on cardboard. But the work must be jewelry. The permissible deviation from the exact dimensions should not exceed 3-5 millimeters. And when using paper to remove patterns, it can reach 7 millimeters ...

In fact, there are many more options. Almost as many as the manufacturers of interior doors. In laminated, for example, sometimes glass is attached to a glazing bead, which cannot be seen from the outside. Such a door cannot be repaired at all, it is not glass that has to be replaced, but all of it.

But laminated at least inexpensive. It will be a shame if you take up the repair of the designer door and break it completely ... So if you are not confident in your glass-making abilities, you better call the master. Or buy a new door. Because there is some oddity: a branded door repair will almost certainly cost you more than installing a new one.

Interior doors equipped with glass inserts look great and delight the eyes of its owner. Similar door designs fill the room with light. However, glass is glass and even modern durable glass sometimes breaks. At the same time, you should not be very upset - it is quite simple to insert glass into the interior door.

Types of glasses

Before you consider the procedure for replacing the glass insert in the door leaf, it is worth examining those materials that can be used to perform these works. After all, there are many options that can replace the "classic" glass.

Decorative glass as an insert in the door is one of the most expensive options. Not all door manufacturers use such glass sheets in their products. In general, this is an excellent option that does not require any additional modifications - the main thing is to find on sale with the same type of decor or pattern as on the other doors in the apartment or house, which can be a very difficult task. Often, if glass on one door is damaged, this entails the need to replace glass inserts on all paintings, which can be very expensive, because the price of such glasses starts at 1,500 rubles per square meter.

Ordinary glass is a good and, most importantly, more affordable alternative to expensive decorative glasses. However, such a material requires a slight refinement, which is gluing with a special decorative film. You can buy them at construction markets or in hypermarkets - a wide selection will allow you to find a film for every taste and color. As a result, such an option will cost half as much as decorative glass.

Also, as a replacement, you can purchase monolithic polycarbonate (plexiglass). Any glass, even ordinary, or decorative, is glass with all its inherents. With careless operation, such inserts can break, which cannot happen with plexiglass. It is nothing but a transparent plastic. Its drawback is one and it is insignificant - plexiglass is highly susceptible to scratches and eventually loses its transparency. As in the case of ordinary glass, a slight revision using the same film is also possible here.

Replacing Rectangular Glass

It is not difficult to replace glass of traditional rectangular shape in a normal door leaf. Often, a glass sheet or insert is mounted through the top end.

So, the first thing you need to remove the fragments of old glass from the door. Then measurements are taken of the space in which the new glass sheet will be installed. After that, glass of suitable sizes and thickness is acquired. Then it is very carefully inserted through the top of the door leaf. To strengthen the insert, you can use silicone gel - it is applied around the perimeter of the glass element.

When making measurements, it is necessary to take into account the depth of the groove where a part of the glass goes. Its value must be added to the overall dimensions of the glass sheet. To measure it, lower a metal ruler into the groove.

If the glass is held on the door leaf using the so-called “glazing beads”, then the measurements and installation work are carried out in the same order, except that the glazing bead must first be dismantled. Then, after installing the glass, it is installed back using small nails.

Replacing glass in premium doors

If everything is simple with more accessible models of interior doors, then with premium models there may be some difficulties. Such doors need a special approach. The replacement process is very time consuming. Often, the canvas has a collapsible design, and in order to dismantle a glass insert broken or damaged in any other way, you will have to completely disassemble the entire door, then replace the insert and reassemble everything. Usually this work is trusted only by specialists, but you can perform the replacement yourself. To do this, you need to know how this or that door model is disassembled.

If the door leaf is made not of wood, but of metal (for example aluminum), then there are also certain nuances. In the event that the glass is inserted in the same way as on inexpensive doors or for fixing glazing beads, then its replacement is quite possible. But it is very undesirable to allow direct contact of the door metal with the glass. During installation, it is best to use a rubber lining.

How to replace custom glasses

Glass in modern interior doors can be made in a unique design style. The shape of the insert can be very different - it will be better if the glass is oval and much worse if it is made in the form of a wave.

If glass is inserted into the canvas through the top, then the first thing that is removed is the fragments of the broken glass insert. Then, with the help of a felt-tip pen or marker, the hole formed is outlined on paper or cardboard. After that, it is necessary to order a new glass of the required shape in the workshop, after which it remains just to insert it into place.

Features of working with paneled constructions

Paneled doors are very popular. Glass replacement is associated with the need to disassemble the structure. Often, these door leaves are easy to disassemble. Glass in them is a panel. The canvas can consist of a vertical and transverse support, glass between them, as well as a baguette - this is a kind of decorative element.

Connections are based on a locking system - on most models this is a spike groove. It is not necessary to completely disassemble the door into its constituent elements - the main thing is that access to glass is opened. Then, all that remains of the damaged glass is taken out of the door structure, and a new one is installed in its place, after which it remains only to assemble the structure back.

Replacing glass in sliding doors

Doors equipped with glass can be not only hinged - there are many designs and sliding solutions among them. If glass broke in a similar interior door, the first thing to do is dismantle the canvas, and to get to the glass, you need to remove the metal frame-door frame. Due to the large size, this can cause certain difficulties.

Decor

For creative people who like to perfect something, to make a better world around themselves and other people, the usual process of replacing glass can be turned into a creative work. For example, you can get an interesting effect if a new glass is illuminated from the inside. How to do it? Everything is very simple - an LED strip is installed in the groove where the glass is inserted or in its end. Then the system is connected to the electrical network. You can also equip the door leaf with a micro switch so that the tape burns only when the door is closed. Such decor gives a very wide scope for imagination and creativity, and the result can be very interesting and unique.

Today, glass in the door is a very popular phenomenon. Such doors are installed in almost every apartment. With glazed doors, trouble often occurs in the form of cracked glass.

The reasons may be sufficient:

  • drafts;
  • more force applied when closing the door;
  • randomness;

It seems that replacing broken glass in a room door is a fairly simple, affordable procedure. But glass is a very moody material. You can be convinced of this already at the stage of "cutting" of glass. Repeatedly measured and even line after holding a glass cutter may be a broken line.

Glass submits only to the master, so you should not take risks by inserting the glass yourself.

Manufacturers of interior doors also do not recommend doing repairs on their own. Doors between rooms should not only perform simple functions, but also be an interior decoration. Glasses in the doors of rooms not only transmit additional sunlight into the dark corners of the room, but also represent an element of decoration.

Replacing broken glass in the interior door should be entrusted to another professional for one reason: the requirements for aesthetics quite often complicate the very design of the glass inserted into the door. There may be hidden fastening of the glass, so that the door will look solid, the joints between the seams will not be visible. This is very difficult in this case.

According to the experience of our experts, the service for replacing glass in furniture: cabinets, sideboards, library, i.e. where there is glass. Our specialists more than once had to make repairs, or precisely in such cases.

The specialists of our company will carefully, quickly replace the glass in the door, and you will save your time!

Today on the market there are so many different models of door leafs. Especially popular and in demand are designs complemented by glass inserts. However, there are times when the glass in the door needs to be replaced. Most often this is due to poor product quality or careless handling of the sash.

Features

Nowadays, consumers are completely unlimited in the choice of finishing materials, decor, furniture and door leafs for their home. A door suitable for style and shade can be purchased for any interior, whether it is a popular timeless classic or artsy Baroque.

Currently, in many homes you can meet beautiful and elegant doors with a glass insert. It can have a variety of sizes. So, in stores you can find designs in which glass occupies almost the entire door leaf or instances having glass inserts made in the form of narrow stripes. Both of these options look attractive and stylish in their respective settings.

Often beautiful, but fragile inserts break in them, even with fairly careful handling. This can lead to very unpleasant consequences. For example, one of the household members may seriously injure themselves on the 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. With careless handling of such structures, brittle inserts in them can also break. So, such doors are not recommended to slam sharply, as this most often leads to disastrous consequences.

Especially careful should be with paintings that have glass inserts, if small children and pets live in the house or apartment.

Often they, having played, sharply slam doors or throw something that can get directly into the glass. This can lead to a very unpleasant result in the form of serious wounds.

Often the glass in the door still breaks or cracks and requires replacement. This work can be completely handled independently. The main thing is to competently and seriously approach this issue and stock up on all the necessary tools and materials.

Types of glasses

There are several types of glass that are installed in the door leaf.

  • Stained glass window.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 blows and is more wearproof. It looks more like plastic, which is also often finished with decorative film.

How to change?

Before directly replacing a damaged part, the door must be freed from it.

To begin with, you should remove the door from the hinges (for more convenient work) and acquire some devices.

  • Heavy gloves  to protect against cuts.
  • Wide slotted screwdriver.With this tool you can pry off wooden platbands holding the glass in the door. If your canvas is paneled (collapsible), then a screwdriver may not be useful at all.
  • Chisel.Without this tool, you can not do with work with such material as wood.

  • Little hammer.The hammer will be needed in the work of fastening the glazing beads with small finishing nails. If you are working with a panel model, it is best to buy a special rubber mallet to drive the panels slightly during assembly.
  • Stationery knife.Such a knife will be needed to remove the old sealant at the installation site of the new glass.
  • Rubberized insert or sealant.Special gaskets not only provide high-quality shrinkage of a brittle insert, but also prevent rattling during operation of the door leaf. Poorly fixed construction can also tap during use.
  • Building paper bag, cardboard box or piece of thick paper. The paper will be needed in order to carefully and safely wrap and remove fragments remaining from the previous glass insert.

The following structures are used to install glazed interior doors.

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

Paneled

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

The design can not be disassembled, but just open access to the glass.

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

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

Many paneled doors are made according to the tenon-groove principle. They are very easy to understand. Faced with such options, you do not have to clean the necessary areas of the 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 the same place in the apartment.

After removing old and damaged glass, it is necessary to immediately remove the fragments and any small things 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 drawer 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 stubs located on the edges of the base. Using a screwdriver, all fasteners should be removed. Now you need to take a small hammer and whetstone and with their help separate the tsar along the entire surface of the canvas. You need to do this from the bottom up.

After removing the drawer, it is necessary to remove the old glass from the grooves along with the silicone (naturally, wearing gloves). At the end, you can safely install a new glass cloth of suitable size in the grooves, place the tsar in the same place, assemble the structure and install it on the hinges in the opening.

Shield

As a rule, glass in such traditional paintings is installed on the sash using glazing beads (wood fasteners). For the replacement of the insert, it is better to purchase these parts new, as the former can easily be damaged at the time of installation or dismantling of the glass.

First you need to slightly knock the glazing beads with a screwdriver and a small hammer. You need to slightly release the insert, but do not remove the fasteners. Then you should remove the glazing beads located 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 the lumen, pre-treated with sealant. If necessary, a glass sealant can be used. The glazing beads are installed on top.

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

What can be glued?

If the glass in the door did not break or crack, but began to stagger, making unpleasant noises, then one 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 cloth;
  • Insert regular matches into the corners of the glass part. Also suitable for this is acrylic putty, 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 work will solve the problem when the glass in the door leaf staggers and dangles. 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 stained glass films.

You should consider in more detail one of the most common options for restoring cracked glass in the interior door with your own hands.

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

  • After they have completely dried, degrease the area where the crack is located. To do this, take a cotton swab and moisten it thoroughly in acetone. The glue will be applied to a fat-free surface much better, and the service life of the glass restored in this way will be much longer;
  • It is also permissible to treat cracks with cotton swabs. However, when using such a device, you should pay attention to whether it leaves behind fibers in the damaged area of \u200b\u200bthe glass;
  • After thorough and accurate processing of damage, it is necessary to proceed to sealing the crack.

  • To do this, put silicone glue into the syringe (of course, without a needle) and fill the crack with it as accurately as possible. Take your time when starting such a job. It should be done slowly and confidently so that the composition is evenly distributed over the damaged area.
  • Today in building materials stores you can find tubes with glue equipped with very convenient nozzles with tips, which helps squeeze out more impressive portions.

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

Good examples and options

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

It is worth considering several organic and stylish ensembles in which there are elegant doors with glass inserts.

  • Fashionable collet door in black with glass transparent inserts will stand out effectively against the background of snow-white walls and glossy milk floor. Next to such a detail, you can put a small bright chair and a metal floor lamp with a bell-bell.
  • A dense chocolate shade design with a thin glass line in the middle can be installed in a white room with an accent wall that is close in hue to the door leaf. The floor in such an environment should also be finished with white materials and furniture in snow-white and coffee tones should be placed in it.
  • A luxurious dark chocolate door with a black long 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 color and a wooden table that simulates poor processing.
