Interior doors are often decorated with additional decorative elements, often you can see the decor in the form of a glass insert. But when using low-quality glass inserts or incorrect and negligent operation of the door leaf, it may be necessary to dismantle this fragile part. About how the glasses should be replaced correctly in the interior door, we will talk today.

How to remove the cracked glass?

Replacing the broken or cracked glass in the interior door begins with its removal from the door canvase. The greatest difficulties arise in the event that the glass insert is cracked, because it must be removed in such a way that the glass does not crumble when dismantling.

It is best to perform all work after the door is removed from the loops and is laid on a flat horizontal surface. If it is impossible to do this, you need to open the door and fix it securely at the bottom so that the door canvas do not rushed during operation.

On the cracks themselves, it is necessary to glue transparent durable tape for two sides of the glass in several layers. It is very important that the scotch captures and intact part of it. Such manipulation will allow to fix the glass and will not give it to crumble on the part in the process of dismantling.

Also necessary:

• gloves, best rubberized on a tissue basis;
• broom and scoop;
• chisel;
• several pieces of thick paper;
• little hammer.

All work must be performed in gloves, it will help protect your hands from damage. The further procedure for removing the cracked glass will consist of the following steps:

• It is necessary to establish exactly how the glass insert is fixed in the doorway. It can be initiated through the end or fixed with the assistance of the stroke.
• If the glass is installed through the end, the door will have to be removed from the loops. It can be removed only through a special hole.
• If the insert is fixed with the assistance of the stroke, then using the chisels and the hammer they need to move a little to the side. To remove all these fasteners are not necessary.
• Then the glass is slowly withdrawn from the canvas. It is better to perform such an operation together, especially if the insert has a large size. One person will have to hold the glass at the location of the crack, and the second at the same time will gently remove it from the door.
• It is necessary to clean all the grooves from sawdust, door maid or sealant.

The dismantled insert should be disposed of immediately, after wrapped it into the prepared paper. If there is some piece of glass in the process of work, it should be carefully suitable in the room.

Of particular difficulties in the implementation of such work does not occur. The main thing is to immediately prepare all the necessary material and perform actions leisurely.

It is worth paying attention to The state of the rubber bandwhich is located between the head and the glass itself. If it is badly damaged or torn, it must be replaced with a new one.

What can be replaced?

After removing the cracked glass from the web to its place, you must install a new insert. Many people have difficulties associated with the choice of suitable substitution material. Before starting to describe possible alternative inserts, I would like to say that Sometimes you can simply take a broken or cracked glass using the following options:

1. Special decorative film in cases where a crack or chip, have small size. It glues all the glass immediately so that the door looks harmonious and holistically.
2. List DVP. This option is temporary and can only be applied until the new glass is selected. To improve the appearance, it is also recommended to be a temporary insertion of decorative film.

For the final replacement of the cracked glass in the door, other materials can be used:

1. Normal glass. This material has no own decor, it is completely transparent, has a wide availability and low price. When choosing this option, it is possible to decorate it in any way in the future.
2. The organic glass has a high level of strength, and it is very difficult to break it, but the scratches on such a material appear quite quickly. You can eliminate this disadvantage using a decorative film that will decorate the door itself, and protect the insert from small damage.
3. Decorative (stained glass) glass. This option of replacement is the most stylish, beautiful and expensive. Inserting such glass is distinguished by an unusual appearance and high strength. True, it will be necessary to spend a lot of time on the selection of an interior design suitable to the overall style. Some varieties of this material will be installed at home will be impossible.
4. Tempered glass is distinguished by increased strength, fire safety and noise insulation.

Materials for replacing the old cracked glass is quite a lot. Preferred is worth it from them, which is most accurate not only in its technical specifications, but also appearance.

How to insert your own hands: Step-by-step instructions

The installation of a new decorative part in the door canvas should not begin with the works themselves, but from the measurement. It is necessary to accurately determine the size of the future insert. After performing measuring work, you need to remember that the glass itself, should not be too tight in the groove, otherwise it can burst again.

For the installation of a new insert, the following equipment will be required:

• sealant;
• small nails;
• a hammer;
• glue;
• rubber insert.

The replacement itself is pretty simply in several stages:

1. The sealant is applied on one side of the door cloth into special groove grooves.
2. The newly acquired insert is inserted into the rubber band, and then installed in the groove. It is possible to glue the glass and the tree directly without using such a rubber seal, but this installation will be unsafe, and the glass itself is unreliable fixed in the grooves.
3. The sealant is applied again, but on the other side of the door.
4. After 5 minutes, there were previously removed strokes. If necessary, they should be securely fixed, using special small nails.
5. The door canvas must be left in a fixed state for another couple of hours. During this time, the whole design will fully secure inside the door.

Insert the glass into the wooden door can not only with the use of sealant, but also a special wood or universal glue. Application sealant also remains a mandatory part, but this stage is performed after the installation of glass.

It is best to perform such work after removing the door with the loops. This installation option is most simple and suitable for glass of ordinary rectangular shape.

The technology itself can be used for other types of inserts installed not only in conventional doors, but also sliding or collapsible.

If the glass is located in the side door, and remove the canvas itself with the loops is not possible, then it is necessary to fix the hard-door web in such a way, to do not move during the work.

How to change in the Cingle door?

In addition to the usual interroom doors, today you can meet the CARD doors, which can also have a damaged glass insert. The CARGE door canvas differs from the usual in that it has special bars-amplifiers, which reliably fix the design itself in the doorway. The replacement of inserts in such a door will be performed as follows:

• It is necessary to remove the door with the loops using a screwdriver and removing the pre-plug. Unscrew the bolts from the inside of the loops.
• The door leaf fit on a flat horizontal surface located above the floor level.
• Using a ruler or chisel, it is necessary to remove the remaining plugs located along the edges of the canvas.
• We remove the fasteners of the screwdriver.
• With the help of a hammer and a wooden bar, you need to disconnect the king around the perimeter from the door itself. Direction of movements - bottom at the top. It is necessary to start removing the kings from the place where the fasteners were located.

• After disconnecting the kings, it is necessary to carefully remove it from the canvas and, putting the gloves, remove the cracked glass from the grooves together with the silicone seal.
• We make glasses measurements and get a replacement.
• But a new insert put on the seal and insert it into the grooves.
• We produce the setting of the kings to the place.
• Now it is necessary to collect and install the entire canvas in the order, reverse design analysis.

The replacement of glass inserts in the Cartig door is considered more complex than the work performed on ordinary interroom doors, so it comes to its execution it is necessary to be extremely responsible and neat.

How to fix a staggering glass in the apartment?

Not always glass in such door canvases cracks or broken. It is much more likely to hear that it simply begins to stagger and make up loud and unpleasant sounds. To solve this problem without replacing the decorative insert, you can in several ways:

• Special "sanitary" sealant should be purchased, which is applied with a thin strip into a slit, formed between insertion and wood.
• Conventional matches in one thing are inserted into the corners of the glass panel. Instead, you can use an acrylic putty, which is also applied to insert angles.
• Small pieces of cork are abundantly lubricated with universal glue and the glass perimeter is inserted into the slots.
• You can also carefully remove the strokes themselves, apply a sealant on the glass, and on top to set them again, but closer to the decorative panel itself.

All these ways to eliminate noise and mobility of glasses in the doors really help to get rid of the problem, and their execution does not take much time.

Installation options

The main ways to replace windows in interroom two, and each of them, in turn, has two varieties:

• Installation of a new insert with cooling or increasing size. In the first case, the cracked or broken glass is removed, and the new one is installed in its place, which is the same size. Such work is considered the simplest and rapid.
• In the second case, after dismantling a damaged insertion on the door canvase, the image draws a pencil, then the measurements are removed, and then the glass is purchased. With the help of a hacksaw, the desired form of the hole is cut, there are special grooves in it and only then the installation occurs. Such work requires special care of measurements and caution when drinking a new form in the door, otherwise you can only spoil all the material without solving the problem.

The glass door between the rooms looks very profitable in any interior. But, in addition to beauty, it performs both practical functions. At the expense of the glass, the size of the room is visually expanding, and an additional light passes into the room. It often happens so that the glass replacement is needed in the interior door. The reasons for this may be different. The most common is his damage, the need to reversal or the desire of the hosts to replace the glass on the new interior design.

How to replace the glass in the interior door?

If there are no mirrors in the interior door, color stained glass windows, glass baguettes and other decorations, then you can, observing a thorough accuracy and a simple action plan, replace the glass yourself.

To determine the procedure for action, first need to find out what your interroom door is. That is, you need to understand how glass is attached to it. Almost all the old and many modern models of the doors, the glass can be inserted into the opening and fix with conventional or curly staps. But there is another type of fastening (with hidden fixation), when the glass will be needed to start the door through the door.

When replacing broken glass in the interior door, it is necessary to act extremely carefully so that when working tools do not damage the door, as well as a new glass.

Before the start of work, you will need to get rid of the old glass, often broken or cracked. It is better to prepare for this, providing ourselves with the necessary tools and appliances:

• gloves (better to take dense, but not very thick);
• middle Size Hammer;
• scoop, broom;
• high density paper;
• wide slotted screwdriver or chisel.

The fasteners in the form of a stroke are relaxed with a screwdriver (you can also take a chisel), hammer. The main thing is put on gloves. No need to remove fastening completely. For security purposes, it is better to start on top. Let's gradually remove fragments or glass, start with large. Put them in tight paper and finally wrap. After that, fastening staps are removed. If the rubberized gasket suddenly occurred, it is better to purchase a new ribbon. Make sure that nothing fell and did not break, and if it happened, then immediately remove the fragments using a broom and a scoop. Work better in shoes.

How to replace the glass: Stages of work

To change the glass in the interior door, you will need to determine its opening. With a complex form, it is better to turn to the glazier. Although at home you can make a special cardboard pattern. Apply the resulting dimensions. Now you can cut a new glass on it. With accurate forms you can handle without assistance. The main thing, remember that the glass cannot enter close to her bed. This means that you need to record dimensions that will be less than 1,5-2 mm for each side.

Sharks of the glasses must be removed in thick gloves, first large, then small.

Glasses can be bought either in stores for construction, or order in a workshop that specializes in cutting glass and mirrors.

Interroom door must be prepared for insertion. From the entire surface of the bed, remove the old gasket, remove the magazine overlooking your time together with the sealant. Pre-acquire a new sealant (special for glasses and windows). You may also need fasteners for glass that depend on the door model. It can also happen so that when dismantling a patch will break. There is a large selection of flexible analogues of such fasteners made in different colors.

Glass also needs to be prepared. Let it be warm to room temperature. Then rinse it using water with soap. Wipe it better pure cotton flap. So cutting will go easier, and you protect the glass from breaking and crumbs. Where the place of consolidation, remove the residues of paint and putty.

Remove your door from the loops and laid it on some horizontal. Coming for this and table. The main thing is that it is long and wide. So the interroom door will be able to lie completely, because the inserting glass is in suspended state - the case is risky.

Apply silicone throughout the perimeter of the bed where the glass will go. Use for this gun for sealant. Put the glass into the gasket tape. After that, start it gently put on the door. Exclude the pressure on its surface. If the insert is tight, try to trim the gasket. Treat with silicone sealant and second piece of glass.

Fastening headquarters are also sitting on the sealant, after which they need to be tightly adjusted to each other.

And then it is better to fasten them to the door canvase. For this purpose, take decorative finish carnations. The sealant grabs approximately an hour, no less. After that, you can hang the door back.

Each door will have their own nuances. But if desired and the right approach, the replacement of glass will not be a difficult thing for you. The main thing is to work carefully, and everything will turn out!

Most often, the repair of interior doors is reduced to replacing broken glass. There are cases when it can be changed with your own hands, but sometimes you have to contact the specialists. In this article we will talk about when you can replace damaged glass yourself and how to make it right and quickly.

What are the glasses for interior doors

• lamination. During production, the glass is poured into several layers, between which the special film is placed. As a result, a durable material is obtained that does not scatter when hitting.
• liquid fill. In this case, a special liquid resin is poured on the glass, which solidifies under the influence of UV rays. It is strong enough, but it is cheaper than obtained by lamination.

How to be if the glass crashed

Such an unpleasant situation can happen to each and, unfortunately, can lead to injury. First you need to remove fragments from the floor so as not to damage the legs. And then you can pull the remnants of the glass in the following way:

1. We wear tight rubber gloves so as not to harm your hands.
2. With the help of a screwdriver weakening the stroke (the detail holds the glass).
3. I pull out the fragments and wrap them in paper. We start with large parts, and then go to small.
4. We check the gasket tape on damage, as needed to replace the new one.

Tip! It is best to wear shoes with a solid sole, so as not to damage the legs with small fragments. And after the remnants of the glass removed, spending the floor again.

After the remnants of the glass are extracted, removing the measurements to purchase a new one. You can call a glazier or measure the tape measure. If the opening has a complex geometric shape, transfer the sizes on the tracing.

Attention! Glass should be freely installed on the door. To do this, it is necessary to reduce its dimensions of 1-2 mm on each side.

How to replace the glass yourself

Usually the glass is attached to the door bed with the assistance of the stroke (quarters). Then replacing the coating will be performed as follows:

• With the help of a chisel or screwdriver nails that hold quarters, pull out the outside. Then we grab the pliers and pull out.

Attention! First, pull out the lateral spattics, then the bottom, and then the upper one.

• We remove the old gasket (if it is worse or broke), as well as traces of glue and old sealant.
• Lossing the bed for glass canvas silicone for windows or sealant.
• Insert the purchased glass into the canvas.

Tip! The glass should not be tight in the gasket, it is better to cut it.

• We establish spattics, customize them in size, and then fasten with decorative nails.

Tip! If you have acquired ordinary glass, and you want to get a decorative texture, you can stick a special film. First you need to moisten the glass with soapy water and gently glue the film, carefully removing all the air so that there are no bubbles.

How to change the glass in monolithic doors

There are models of doors, the glass on which is mounted without using spat. In this case, you will have to disassemble the door, according to the following scheme:

1. Remove the door with the loops and shift onto a flat surface.
2. Remove the plugs and unscrew the fasteners
3. Now you can neatly remove the side of the door and remove the damaged glass.
4. Install a new glass cloth and close the sidewall. If there are problems with a seal, which prevents the grazing of the glass cloth, moisten the edge of the glass with soapy solution.

In conclusion, I would like to say that there are situations where the replacement of broken glass in the interior door is independently impossible. For example, a glass of triplex must be changed in the factory conditions, as well as it is impossible to replace the broken material on the doors from PVC.

Today there are a lot of different models of door canvases on the market. Designs supplemented with glass inserts are especially popular and in demand. However, there are cases when glass in the door must be replaced. Most often, this is due to the low quality of products or inaccurate handling with the sash.

Features

Nowadays, consumers are completely unlimited in the choice of finishing materials, decor, furniture and door canvases for their home. The door can be suitable for any interior, whether it is a popular eternal classic or faded baroque.

Currently, in many housing, you can meet beautiful and elegant doors with a glass insert. It can have a variety of sizes. Thus, in stores you can find structures in which the glass takes almost all the door canvas or instances that have glass inserts made in the form of narrow strips. Both listed options look attractive and stylish in the corresponding settings.

Often beautiful, but fragile inserts in them are broken, even with rather neat handling. This can lead to very unpleasant consequences. For example, one of the households can seriously hurt about the fragments of a glass insert.

Of course, the destruction of glass in the door canvase can occur not only due to low-quality raw materials. In case of inactive handling of such structures, fragile inserts in them can also be broken. So, such doings, it is not recommended to slap sharply, as it most often leads to deposits.

Especially neat should be with canvas that have glass insertions if small children and pets live in the house or apartment.

Often they, having won, sharply clap the doors or throw something that can get straight into the glass. This can lead to a very unpleasant outcome in the form of serious wounds.

Often glass in the door is still broken or cracking and requires replacement. With this work, you can quite cope with yourself. The main thing is to competently and seriously approach this issue and stock all the necessary tools and materials.

Types of glasses

There are several varieties of glasses that are installed in the door canvases.

• Stained glass.These glasses are the most expensive. Replacing such inserts is more complicated, since without it the interior may seem very different and fad.
• Normal.Classic glass surfaces can be supplemented with a special sticker in the form of a decorative film. Conventional glasses are transparent and matted.
• Plexiglas. This material is not afraid of shocks and is more wear-resistant. It looks more like plastic, which is also often trummed by a decorative film.

How to change?

Before the direct replacement of the damaged part it is necessary to free the door from it.

To begin with, you should remove the door with the loops (for more convenient work) and get some devices.

• Tight gloves To protect against cuts.
• Split wide screwdriver.This tool you can pose wooden platbands, holding the glass in the door. If your cloth is a scrap (collapsible), the screwdriver may not come in handy at all.
• Chisel.Without this tool, do not do in working with such a material like a tree.

• Little hammer.The hammer will be needed in the work on fixing the strokes in small finish nails. If you work with a pale model, then it is better to buy a special rubber hammer to slightly drive the panels during the construction of the structure.
• Stationery knife.Such a knife will be needed to remove the former sealant at the installation site of the new glass.
• Rubberized insert or sealant.Special seals not only provide high-quality shrinkage fragile inserts, but also warn the appearance of rattling during the operation of the door canvase. Weak fixed design can also tap during use.
• Building paper package, Cardboard box or thick paper. The paper will be needed in order to carefully and safely wrap and remove the fragments that remain from the former glass insert.

The following designs are used to install glazed interroom doors.

• Shield. These are products where the glass is attached using special staps by lining.
• With grooves for insertion on one of the sides (they are tsard). These are models in which glass is installed in the cavity of the door flap.
• Pilencated.In these models, the glass is inserted into the grooves.

Pilencated

In order to fix the scribbled canvas, they must be almost completely disassembled to different parts. Many people scare a large number of details that are part of such a door, but do not panic.

Design can not be disassembled, but just open access to the glass.

To do this, you need to know the design of such a door.

• Support in a vertical position - side door racks;
• Cross support - holds longitudinal parts and glass;
• Pilenks - Thin components inserts located between transverse elements;
• The barn item is the same transverse support, but performs the function of decorative insert.

Many panel doors are manufactured according to the principle of spike grooves. They disassemble very easy and simple. Faced with similar options, you do not have to clean the necessary sections from the old sealant. After removing a damaged insertion, a new glass is installed on the same place, and the door is collected in the reverse order, after which it can be installed on the previous place in the apartment.

After removing old and damaged glasses, it is necessary to immediately remove the fragments and any little things that remain from them. It is necessary in order to protect yourself and other households from serious wounds.

Tsard.

To replace the glass in the Cartig door, it is also removed from the loops and laid on a flat surface. After that, with the help of the line and the chisels, you need to remove all the plugs located at the edges of the base. Using a screwdriver, you should remove all the fasteners. Now you need to take a small hammer and bar and with their help to separate the king along the entire surface of the canvas. Do it need from bottom to top.

After removing the Tsargi, it is necessary to remove the old glass from the grooves along with silicone (naturally, putting gloves). At the end, you can safely install a new glass canvas in the grooves, put the king to the previous place, assemble the design and install it on the loop in the opening.

Shield

As a rule, glass in such traditional canvases is installed on the sash using the stroke (fasteners of the tree). For work on the replacement of inserts, these details are better to purchase new, as the former can be easily damaged at the time of installation or dismantling glass.

To begin with, you need to slightly sweep the strokes with a screwdriver and a small hammer. It is necessary to release a little insert, but do not remove the fasteners. Then you should remove the strokes at the top (only if the web is removed from the loops).

After that, the remains of the former glass are removed. Do not forget about the removal of the former sealing composition from the door canvase.

The new glass insertion in such products is installed in the lumen, pre-treated with a sealant. If necessary, you can use the glass seal. From above are set by the strokes.

Fix the parts that hold the glass in the shield base can be using small carnations or scraps with silicone composition.

What can be stuck?

If the glass in the door did not break and cracked, but it began to stagger, making unpleasant noises, then you can act differently.

• Purchase a specialized "sanitary sealant" and apply it with a thin strip in the slits located between glass and wooden canvas;
• Insert ordinary matches in the corners of the glass part. Also for this will suit an acrylic putty, which must be applied to the edges of the glass;
• Small pieces of traffic jams can be perfectly molded with universal glue and insert a glass insert in the slot;
• Remove the fasteners of the strokes, apply the sealant on the glass and install them again, but closer to the panel.

These simple work will allow you to solve the problem when the glasses in the door canvase are risen and dangled. The main thing is to carry out all the actions as accurately as possible.

How to hide a small crack?

If the glass in the interior doors cracked, then its repair and restoration of decorative functions can be made by the following way.

• Glue a special adhesive composition for glass furniture;
• Glue the affected part with epoxy glue;
• Apply moldings on cracks if they are on the edges of the insert;
• Reorganize with various films that close damage;
• Hide stained-glass films.

You should consider more than one of the most common options for restoring the cracked glass in the interior door with your own hands.

• First you need to stock with silicone glue, tassel, syringe and acetone, as well as detergent and transparent varnish;
• Next, you need to carefully prepare a glass insert and make it a pretty wash with a means for washing glass and warm water. Wash inserts are needed on both sides;

• After their complete drying, you need to degrease the area where the crack is. To do this, take a cotton swab and coherently mixed it in acetone. The glue will be applied to the degreasing surface, and the service life of the glass restored in this way will be much longer;
• It is also permissible to handle cracks with cotton wands. However, when using such a device, you should pay attention, whether it leaves the fibers on the damaged section of the glass;
• After careful and neat processing, damage must be proceeded with cracking.

• To do this, you need to dial in the syringe (of course, without a needle) silicone glue and maximally correctly fill it with a crack. Do not hurry, starting to work. It should be done slowly and confidently that the composition is evenly distributed over the damaged area.
• Today in building materials stores you can find tubes with glue, equipped with very comfortable nozzles with tips, which helps to squeeze more impressive portions.

• If the damage to the glass is quite large, then after applying glue, it is worth sealing it on both sides by the usual transparent scotch. Performed work should be left 12 hours before complete drying.
• At the end of this work, you need to cover the fracture surface with colorless varnish. To do this, take a thin brush, to dip it into the composition and spend on the gluing site. After that, you need to wait for a complete drying of the applied varnish, and the work will be completed.

Successful examples and options

Doors with glass look organically in many interiors, and it is not important at all, stained glass or ordinary inserts are present in them. The main thing is to choose the design of a suitable style and color.

Several organic and stylish ensembles should be considered, in which elegant doors having glass inserts are present.

• The fashionable Tsargian door of black with glass transparent inserts will be spectacularly highlighted against the background of snow-white walls and glossy milk. Next to this detail you can put a small bright armchair and a metal floor lamp with a flange bell.
• The design of a dense chocolate shade with a thin glass line in the middle can be installed in a white room with an accent wall close to a shade to the door canvase. The floor in such a setting should also be separated by white materials and arrange furniture of snow-white and coffee tones in it.
• The luxurious door of the color of bitter chocolate with a black long glass insert will look perfect in a white room with gray floor, decorated glossy tiles. Pour the dark canvas with single shelves of a similar shade and a wooden table imitating weak processing.

Interior doors equipped with glass inserts look great and please the gaze of their owner. Similar door structures fill the room with light. However, glass has glass and even modern durable glasses sometimes be fighting. At the same time, it is not necessary to be very upset - insert the glass into the interior door is quite simple.

Types of glasses

Before considering the procedure for replacing the glass insert in the doorway, it is worth examining those materials that can be used to perform these works. After all, there are a lot of options that can replace the "classic" glass.

Decorative glasses as an insertion on the door are one of the most expensive options. Similar glass canvases are used in their products not all doors manufacturers. In general, this is a great option that does not require any additional improvements - the main thing is to find on sale with the same type of decor or pattern, as well as on the other doors in an apartment or house, which may be a very difficult task. Often, if the glass was damaged on one door, then this entails the need to replace glass inserts on all canvases, which can do it very expensive, because the price of such glasses starts from 1,500 rubles per square meter.

The usual glass is good and, most importantly, more affordable alternative expensive decorative glasses. However, such material requires a small refinement, which is a salary of a special decorative film. You can buy them in building markets or in hypermarkets - a wide choice will allow you to find a film for every taste and color. As a result, this option will cost two times cheaper than decorative glass.

Also as a replacement, you can purchase a monolithic polycarbonate (plexiglass). Any glass, even normal, even decorative is glass with all those inherent. With non-accurant operation, such inserts may crash, which cannot happen to the plexiglass. It is nothing but a transparent plastic. The lack of his one and it is insignificant - the plexiglass is strongly susceptible to scratches and over time loses its transparency. As in the case of an ordinary glass, a small refinement is also possible here with the use of all the same film.

Replacing rectangular glass

Run the glass of traditional rectangular shape in the usual door canvase is easy. Often, the glass canvas or insert is mounted through the top end.

So, the first thing you need to remove the fragments of the old glass from the door. Then the measurements are performed in which a new glass canvas will be installed. After that, the glass of proper dimensions and thickness is purchased. Then it is very gently inserted through the top of the door canvase. To strengthen the insert, you can apply a silicone gel - it is applied around the perimeter of the glass element.

When performing measurements, it is necessary to take into account the depth of the groove where the piece of glass goes. Its value must be added to the total dimensions of the glass web. To measure it, lower the metal ruler in the groove.

If the glass is held on the doorway with the so-called "strokes", then measurements, and the installation work is performed in the same order except that the stroke must be pre-dismantled. Then, after installing the glass, it is installed back with small nails.

Replacing glass in premium doors

If everything is simple with more accessible interior doors models, then some difficulties may arise with premium models. Such doors require a special approach. The replacement process is very laborious. Often, the canvas has a collapsible design, and to dismantle a glass insert being broken or damaged by any other way, you will have to fully disassemble the entire door, then replace the insert and all collect back. Usually this work is trusted only by specialists, but you can replace and independently. To do this, you need to know how one or another door model is sized.

If the door leaf is made not from wood, but from metal (for example aluminum), then there are also certain nuances. In the event that the glass is also inserted, as well as in low-cost doors or for fastening, staps are used, its replacement is quite possible. But very undesirable to allow direct contact of the metal door with glass. When installing it is best to use a rubber lining.

How to replace non-standard glasses

Glass in modern interior doors can be manufactured in a unique design style. The insert form may be different - it will be better if the glass is oval and much worse if it is made in the form of a wave.

If the glass is inserted into the linen through the top, then the bits of a glass insertion are removed first. Then, with the help of a marker or marker, the resulting hole will be burned along the contour on paper or cardboard. After that, it is necessary to order a new glass of the required form in the workshop, after which it will remain just insert it into place.

Features of working with panel structures

Pilented doors are very popular. Replacing the glasses is related to the need to disassemble the design. Often, these door canvases are easy to disassemble. Glass in them is a panel. The canvas can consist of vertical and transverse support, glass between them, and also from baguette is a kind of decorative element.

Connections are based on the lock system - on most models it is a "spike-groove". Disassemble the door to composite elements is not fully necessary - the main thing is to have access to the glasses. Then, from the door design, everything that remains from damaged glass, and the new one is installed in its place, after it remains only to collect the construct.

Replacing glass in sliding doors

The doors equipped with glass can be not only swing - there are a lot of designs and sliding solutions among them. If glass broke into a similar interroom door, it is necessary to dismantle the canvas first first, and it is necessary to get to the glass, you need to remove the metal frame frame frame. Due to the large dimensions, this can cause certain difficulties.

Decor

For creative people who love to improve, do around themselves and other people peace better, the usual glass replacement process can be turned into creative work. For example, you can get an interesting effect if the new glass will be highlighted from the inside. How to do it? Everything is very simple - in the groove where the glass is inserted or in its end, the LED tape is installed. After that, the system is connected to the electrical network. You can also equip the door leaf by the microswitcher so that the tape burned only at the moment when the door is closed. Such a decor gives a very wide space for fantasy and creativity, and the result can be very interesting and unique.
