Wood Interior Design: Glazed Doors
Glazed doors are ideal where it is desirable to 'borrow' light in to a dark area such as a
passage. These doors are made with solid timber surround and may be half glazed, full glazed or 2 half glazed.
The frame is normally made from solid timber in the same way as for panel doors with the inner edges of the stiles and rails machined to take the glazing. The stiles and upper/lower rails can be trimmed as for a panel door.
The important aspect is the type of glass used to glazed the door. UK regulations require that Safety glass is used in full glazed and lower glazed panels; it is always wise to use Safety glass for all glazing in a glazed door. Safety glass cannot be purchased off the shelf, it is in fact ordinary float glass which has been subjected to a special heat treatment - the glass must be cut to size before it is treated.
