Article : 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.
