Choosing Glass for Furniture
There are various types of glass that can be used to
complement the furniture design. However, it is important to know the type
of good glass and suitable for the furniture so the glass will work as
expected.
Ordinary glass
Clear and transparent, pure, with no other materials added as a safety light
or a silencer. This glass is usually used on windows or doors. Suitable for
the small doors on the furniture or picture frames.
Energy Efficient Glass
There is a thin layer on one side (can be a sticker or films) that serves to
reflect sunlight and reduce heat on the reverse side. This glass is usually
used in the storied building. For use in furniture and interior are still
very rare, only a few people use it for glass doors kitchen cupboard.
Safety Glass (Tempered Glass)
This type of glass will shatter when broken so as not to endanger the safety
of users around it. This glass-making process must first be cut in
accordance with the required size and refined. Then the glass will be heated
at high temperatures (approximately 620 C) and refrigerated immediately.
Safety glass is suitable for doors with a frame large enough and the top
table dining table or guest room table or in places that have relatively
high risk of rupture is not harmful.
Laminated Glass
As the name suggests, this glass is made by attaching two or more sheets of
glass with a layer of adhesive film in the middle. This film layer
(transparent) will bind the glass in case of rupture so that the glass does
not immediately fall apart, but will remain a union. It's very good for
security use. Glass is used for laminated glass can be either regular glass
or safety glass.
Glass Mirror
Usually made of glass with a thickness of between 4-6mm (Tempered or not),
then on the back covered with liquid silver or aluminum. Mirrors for
cupboard doors that are not equipped with the framework should use safety
glass materials and applied with a special glue glass to the bottom ply that
is safe for the user.
Install Glass in Wood Frame Doors
Work is not as easy as what we see or imagine. With the characteristic of
glass is very fragile and require extra care in handling, we should note
some important things when installing the glass on the door of the wooden
frame. Construction glass installation in wood frame can vary depending on
the size of timber, wood frame materials, function and thickness of glass.
If the glass with less than 4mm thick, you should use the framework of the
system stickers, boards and rear door serves as a glass drag to be stable
and not break, and then add paste trim around the glass to hold the glass
remains in place. Thicker glass is more than 5 mm can be used solid wood
frame parts in order to make a column for the placement of glass
indentation. Then the glass was arrested with a small casing around a wooden
framework.
How to safely install the glass on the door frame:
1. Place the wooden frame with a groove position is located at the top. Try
to put it on the table that the width of at least equal to the area door or
put it on a flat floor.
2. Pure the whole side of the glass so as not sharp.
3. Fit the glass sheet carefully, use a piece of cardboard or cloth to hold
the glass.
4. Place the nail on the list before it mounted on wood (4 sides) in the
framework of the door.
5. After the casing is attached, gently insert the nail with a hammer.
6. Should put a piece of cloth on the surface of the glass that installed
wood trim. This is to avoid scratches on the glass surface due to movement
of the hammer.
7. Insert the nail with a nail drip.
If you want to close the hole can use with wood filler. Should do before you
install the glass, door frames should be set in order to complete a cupboard
or a kosen and must be finishing previously.
