Are frameless glass doors safe?
Glass doors are constructed with toughened glass and adhere to the safety rules that are in place in the UK. It is improbable that the glass will ever shatter unless it is subjected to some impact. In addition, when toughened glass cracks, it is engineered to splinter in a manner that does not create deep cuts or other severe injuries. In light of the aforementioned, glass doors need to be handled with the same degree of care and attention as any other piece of high-quality furniture. Never use more force than necessary, and ensure that glass doors are fitted and operated according to the instructions.
There are numerous distinct varieties of glass, each having its unique properties regarding strength. Thicknesses of 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch are available for purchase with each of our door options. Tempered glass is required for any door made of glass. These doors are very sturdy and provide a high level of protection. Tempering the glass not only makes the glass more durable but also provides an additional layer of protection. If tempered glass breaks, it will not splinter into huge, jagged pieces as standard window panes do; instead, it will shatter into a million small fragments. We install hundreds of frameless glass doors each year, and in all that time, we’ve never had a single complaint about the safety of the glass doors we’ve built.
