What are the types of glass doors

1、 Classified by Material

The core difference of glass doors lies in their materials, as different materials of glass directly affect their safety, transparency, and sound insulation effects

1. Ordinary flat glass door: using single-layer float glass, with good transparency but fragile, often used for indoor partitions or decoration.

2. Tempered glass door: The strength is enhanced through high-temperature quenching process, and after crushing, it becomes granular with high safety (in accordance with the national standard GB 15763.2-2005), suitable for public places such as shopping malls and office buildings.

3. Laminated glass door: Composed of two layers of glass sandwiching PVB film, it has strong impact resistance and will adhere to the film even if it breaks, making it suitable for high-rise buildings or sunrooms.

4. Hollow glass door: The double-layer glass is filled with inert gas in the middle, which has superior thermal insulation and sound insulation performance (heat transfer coefficient K value ≤ 1.8 W/(㎡· K)), and is commonly used in energy-saving buildings.

5. frosted/sandblasted glass door: The surface has been specially treated to be transparent and opaque, with strong privacy, and is often used for bathroom or office partitions.

2、 Classified by Function and Design

The functional requirements of glass doors have given rise to various types of subdivisions:

1. Fireproof glass door: Made of fire-resistant silicate glass, capable of withstanding high temperatures for more than 1 hour (in accordance with GB 12955-2008 standard), used for fire exits or warehouses.

2. Automatic sensing glass doors: controlled by infrared or microwave sensors for opening and closing, commonly used in hospitals and airports to improve traffic efficiency.

3. Rotating glass door: It has good sealing and energy efficiency, and is often used in hotel and office lobby to reduce indoor and outdoor air exchange.

4. Folding glass door: It can be folded multiple times for storage, saving space and suitable for balconies or store entrances.

3、 Classified by opening method

The opening method directly affects the user experience and spatial layout:

1. Flat opening: Traditional hinge structure with good sealing but requiring reserved swing space.

2. Push pull type: sliding horizontally along the track, saving space, suitable for small apartments or wardrobe doors.

3. Hanging type: The door is lifted onto the top track, with no threshold on the ground, making the visual experience more concise.

4、 Classified by application scenario

The demand for glass doors varies significantly in different scenarios:

1. Commercial scenarios: For example, shopping mall window doors require high transparency, while bank counters require explosion-proof glass (usually with a thickness of ≥ 12mm).

2. Home scene: The bathroom door needs to be waterproof and moisture-proof, and the kitchen door may choose oil coated glass that is easy to clean.
