Glass Cupboard Doors – Stained glass is perhaps one of the most beautiful kinds of glass available, and is most famous for its presence in beautiful medieval church windows, depicting glorious scenes. Ordinarily, stained glass is used to depict some kind of picture or symbol or thought, though now it’s increasingly being used as simple decoration and an added touch of beauty to offices and homes. The stained colours are much more subtle, and stained glass is even used in doorways and for coffee tables.

Stained glass is produced by adding metallic oxides to glass that is molten (generated from melting silica with different products) and always kept melted inside a clay pot over a furnace. The type and amount of oxide added determines the shade and brilliance of color; copper oxides result in green glass, while cobalt makes blue gold and glass makes reddish glass. Nowadays, the reddish color is made with less costly substances and creates a more brilliant red.

With stained glass doors getting more common, an increasing number of companies are eager to produce and market stained doors for your home or office. Many glass doors have largely clear (or very slightly tinted glass) with a rather straightforward design that involves a bit of stained glass for effect. This way, the door will match the calmer surroundings instead of being garishly bright. While some stained glass doors are entirely made of glass (and these are fantastic for inside doors resulting in offices, or doorways leading into gardens), additional stained glass doorways are only partly made of glass. Rather, the door is largely timber, with an inset stained glass window which adds superbly to the look of the door. However, if you are interested in finding this type of stained glass door, I would strongly recommend using a rather fancy wooden door either stained or painted a darker shade; carvings on the door would add to the look, and a heavier wooden door would be best. This makes the glass space fit in aesthetically onto the thick wooden door. Because glass is indeed fancy, it’s good to have a well-designed door to match it. Wooden doors like these are largely used as front doors; be sure that your colours and designs also match the exterior of your house before deciding.

In order for a producer to correctly create a glass door for your home, step one is to make measurements of the door, or of the window set into the door. Make sure that these are true, as stained glass isn’t easy to modify. Give the manufacturer a sketched style of what you’d like to be portrayed on your stained door, or choose from their range of designs. It is generally a good idea to keep the design simple and not overly colorful-otherwise, the subsequent glass might appear too flashy and even garish. Remember that glass doors can be used for indoor and outdoor applications, and some even have glass doors to add a touch of elegance.
