The process of manufacturing faceted stained glass windows for interior and entrance doors not easy. Therefore, our craftsmen pay considerable attention to the quality and origin of materials. For bevels decorating doors you will need:
- special glass thickness from 5 to 25 mm;
- frame made of copper or brass;
- The finished stained glass window is assembled into a copper or brass profile.
Stages of creating bevels for doors
In order to create high-quality beveled stained glass windows for doors, a lot of effort and skill will be required. After all, professional bevel removal is required.
The first stage begins with the processing of beveled elements, so according to the sketch, a chamfer is removed along the entire perimeter. The bevelling operation is carried out in several stages - grinding and polishing. In this case, the glass can be pre-treated, for example, by sandblasting, for greater effectiveness.
The second stage of work consists of assembling the stained glass window from cut glass sections according to the approved sketch. There are two options for assembling the door facet - according to the classic “rigid broach” system or using Tiffany technology.
Third stage: the stained glass window is placed in a profile, the joints are treated with glue or silicone.
Strength and reliability of faceted stained glass
Among the features of doors with beveled stained glass is their strength, because they use fairly thick glass, a durable profile, and tight seams. It is able to withstand constant mechanical stress over a long period of time, that is, frequent opening (closing) of the door. Beveled doors are quite durable and will last for several decades.
Except interior doors with beveled glass, similar decoration of entrance doors is often ordered. After all, it withstands temperature changes. In addition, beveled stained glass does not allow drafts, since all joints are reliably processed by soldering and pre-glued.
If you somehow managed to break the glass or a crack appeared, then there is no need to completely change the entire beveled stained glass window. It is possible to replace only the affected area, which will be much cheaper and faster.
In addition to faceted stained glass windows, other stained glass windows are also used in doors. stained glass techniques. At the same time, the doors themselves are divided into different categories. All this allows you to use doors with stained glass in various style solutions and apply them in any interior:

You can clean stained glass with a soft, lint-free cloth soaked in glass cleaning liquid. Moreover, it is better not to spray it directly on beveled doors. Of course, this procedure should be done as the glass becomes dirty - once a week or every two weeks.
Types of faceted stained glass windows and their use in the interior
Depending on the classification method, several types of facet stained glass can be distinguished. They are distinguished:

Many may think that a block of 8 glasses is a complex idea of an 18th century designer when working on the interior of an English estate. In fact, everything is much more prosaic. In the 17th and 18th centuries, when English Interior Style was just beginning its formation period, local glass factories did not know how to produce volumetric beveled glass big size, but only small ones - measuring 15 x 20 cm around the perimeter. Cabinet makers adapted to the possibilities of glass production and created classic door with English grille, which today is known throughout the world as a reference.

Beveled glass doors are quite mysterious designs, because not everyone knows the word “beveled”. Its meaning is interpreted as a face or side, but its direct relation to glass remains vague. So, a bevel in glazing is a special bevel or chamfer that decorates the material. Its shape can be regular geometric, or broken, curved, wavy. In terms of aesthetics, such glass is significantly superior to any other treated analogues.
What does a beveled surface look like?
Colored glass door or mirror can also be designed using bevelling. Stained glass windows are created using a similar technique to make the composition play with new colors, because each glass surface allows the sun's rays to be refracted at a certain angle, thereby showing off its most attractive side. For mirrored glass, bevelling is applied to the edges rather than the edges. Such a mirror looks original, aesthetically pleasing, impressive and attractive when decorated wooden frame. Such designs exude elegance and elegance, high cost and luxury.
Basic requirements for creating a facet
Beveled glass doors are quite difficult to produce, which makes them quite high cost. In addition, the choice of material must be approached very responsibly, because not all glass sheets are subject to such processing. Beveled structures can be installed as part of entrance group, as well as for zoning indoor space. 
The main material is special glass with a thickness of 5 to 25 mm, which guarantees a certain degree of protection. Thin sheets are suitable for interior doors, and thick sheets are suitable for entrance doors. The beveled glass frame is made of copper or brass; the cost of these materials is quite high, which is taken into account when determining the price of the product. The design profile is made of the same materials, which ensures the integrity of the style, the ability to connect parts of the frame and frame, as well as the reliability of the product.
Structure care
A colored glass door is processed like other glass structures. There are no special features in this matter, which allows you to choose standard detergents for glass models. The use of materials with abrasive particles and hard bristles is excluded. You can get advice on care from our specialists.
