Choosing the right glass can make a big difference to the look and feel of a bespoke wooden front door.
Whether you want a traditional design or something more modern, decorative glass can add character, colour and privacy to your entrance.
At LSC Joinery, we make bespoke wooden doors and frames to suit each property and customer. This means the glass can be designed as part of the door, rather than being an afterthought.
Traditional or modern glass?
The style of glass you choose will often depend on the style of your home.
Traditional stained glass can be a great choice for period properties. It can add colour and detail while keeping the character of the building.
For a more modern property, a simple leaded design can create a much cleaner look. Geometric patterns, different textures and subtle colours can all be used to create something unique.
Modern overlay leaded stained glass
We have recently started making our own modern overlay leaded stained-glass designs here at LSC Joinery.
This gives us even more options when creating bespoke doors.
Overlay glass allows different colours, textures and patterns to be combined on a single piece of glass. Lead overlay is then used to create the finished design.
This can create a modern decorative feature without making the door look too traditional.
Because the design is bespoke, we can create something to suit the style of the door and the property.
Adding privacy to your front door
Glass can also be a practical choice.
If your front door is close to a pavement or road, you may want natural light to enter your hallway without people being able to see straight inside.
Textured and decorative glass can help with this.
The amount of privacy you need can be considered when choosing the design, texture and pattern.
Getting the proportions right
The size and position of the glass are just as important as the design.
Glass can be fitted into the door itself, or used in side panels and panels above the door.
With a bespoke door, the glass can be sized to work with the overall proportions of the entrance.
This is particularly useful for larger entrances, where decorative glass can become a real feature of the design.
Making the glass part of the design
One of the biggest advantages of a bespoke door is that you are not limited to standard sizes and designs.
The timber, door style, glass, leadwork and frame can all be considered together.
This means you can create an entrance that suits your home rather than choosing something that is simply the closest match available.
