Door decor: a creative approach to glass decoration. Shop window decoration Glass partitions with embossed patterns

Choosing the design of a glass partition is not an easy task. Plenty of options! And every attempt costs money.

We will bring some examples of glass partitions with different design in the interior of apartments or offices.

Tinted glass partitions

These are usually office partitions, covered with special films. For example, matte(see photo), which are used more often than others.

Matte films are most often chosen for offices

Sometimes partitions are tinted colored uniform films, films with patterns(). Or darkened. The latter are painted black or metallized (mirror). Painted do not last long - the dye in their composition is easily scratched and destroyed.

The mirror film has several metallized layers instead of a dye. Therefore, such material is stronger. Yes, and more beautiful. Outside, everything reflects like a mirror.

Advantages of tinted partitions:

• the company logo can be cut out on the matte film. Yes, even Shishkin himself! Choose any theme as a pattern
• if the glass breaks, the fragments will not scatter in different directions. They stay on tape.
• UV rays do not penetrate through the tinting - which is especially important for elegant shop windows
• inexpensive when compared with tinted film-free glass
• film can be replaced with any other
• rich color palette

The average price of 1 m2 of matte film is 600 rubles with installation (sticking).

We do not advise you to glue glass partitions on your own. After all, a film pasted by an amateur lasts 3-6 years less!

Partitions with different glass

Bulk tinted glass partition

Glasses with increased strength, sun protection and other characteristics are not always packed in a film. They can be made according to a special recipe. Here they have special properties and appear.

Glass partitions with embossed patterns

Patterns on sandblasted stained-glass windows are created by spraying sand under high pressure on the glass.

Patterned glass partitions are processed with A: laser, high pressure sand (stained glass), chemicals, etc. As a result, a relief image appears on the surface. And glass with such patterns is called patterned.

Externally, decorative glass with a pattern looks like a frosted film - a white simple or complex pattern. In addition, some drawings, like the film, do not last long on the glass (after sandblasting, they are erased when washing). However, prices are much higher. Mechanical or chemical processing of glass costs from 2,500 rubles. per m2. The material is not included in the price.

Partitions with photo printing

Photo printing is a live photograph that is applied directly to the glass with a special UV printer. The paint hardens and a thin film with an image forms on the surface. If you try, you can pick it up like a regular film. Therefore, it is best to place the picture between two glasses.

Photo printing is not double-sided. And so that the partition looks good on the back, a matte film is glued there

Advantages of glass partitions with photo printing obvious: in a stuffy office you can admire the mountain peaks or the metropolis at night. And it inspires to exploits! Even at work.

However, this design of glass partitions has restrictions- white color is not used in photo printing - it looks ugly on glass. So if it is in the image, first a white base is applied to the glass. And then the color image.

The average price for photo printing is 3000 rubles. per m2. Printing on Plexiglas is cheaper by one third.

Glass partitions with shutters

Horizontal blinds - a classic for office partitions

This is a double partition, where . The control ropes are led out. So moving the slats is not a problem.

Most often, glass partitions are made with horizontal white or colored blinds. And very rarely mounted vertical. However, formally there is no difference between them. And there, and there, behind the partition, nothing is visible!

Stickers for glass partitions

Stickers can be quite small. And sometimes they are half the size of a partition!

Stickers will make your partition original. Small pictures are inexpensive - from 100 rubles. Large (1 m) - 1000 rubles. and on the rise.

Mounted easily: peel off the protective layer and press the sticker to the glass. Do not wet, otherwise it will not last long.

Partitions with lighting

Electric light draws attention to the partition, makes it "more expensive" and brighter. Which is very good for shop windows. However, at home, you can also make a backlit glass partition.

Partition with lighting garlands and LED strips

Illuminate more often with LED strips, which are quite inexpensive - from 200 rubles. per m2. They are fixed at the base of the partition: at the top or bottom. So, the light gently falls on the glass. And there is a feeling that it itself glows from the inside.

Other types of lighting look decent too. For example, garlands descending down the glass. Or spotlights that can be mounted on the ceiling near the partition.

To summarize, the design of a glass partition, first of all, should be convenient and safe. And then beautiful. That is, it is better to choose tempered glass with a budget film than ordinary, but with expensive engraving.

The history of glass has several millennia. Once considered a luxury, glassware is all around us in today's world. Glass is gradually gaining ground from traditional materials used, for example, in construction (glass ceilings, facades, partitions, doors), interior design (glass floors, ceilings, stairs) and other areas.

Glass transparency may vary

The widespread use of glass has become possible due to the new properties that it has acquired thanks to modern technologies and processing methods.

Since glass in its normal state is a fragile and dangerous material that can injure a person in a broken state, it became one of the main tasks. Special technologies, such as glass tempering, triplexing and pasting with a protective film, made it possible to solve this problem.

When using glass in facade glazing, as well as glass partitions for space zoning, it became necessary to regulate its transparency. glass in several ways.

One way to control transparency and give the glass the desired shade is it. Glass tinting can be done with a film, triplex film, or you can purchase ready-made glass tinted in bulk.

A popular interior solution that allows you to hide what is happening from prying eyes behind glass walls -. Glass matting is carried out by several methods - sandblasting, chemical etching and pasting with a film.

You can revive the interior, make it bright and expressive with the help of colored glass. , made using different technologies, has certain properties and qualities, each of which is taken into account when applying it.

When decorating rooms and glass products, artistically processed glass is used, that is, glass on which various drawings, patterns, ornaments, inscriptions and other images are applied. .

It is original and stylish, including panoramic, which will make the interior of the room unusual and attractive. You can transfer a photo to glass by photo printing (direct, on film, in triplex) or laser engraving.

Universal basis for practical and effective transfer of photos to material - . They can be of different sizes - from a small plate with the designation of the cabinet number to large informational messages or promotions.

In the very first article of our blog, I talked about. We talked about the shape of the windows, and about painting the profile, but this time we will talk in more detail about the element that occupies 80% of the window area - glass.

There are a lot of options: colored and stained glass, decorative triplexes, layouts and overlays on windows - and this is only a part of window glass decoration techniques.

Colored, mirrored and tinted glass

Tinted and mirrored windows are used not only in cars. In the windows, they act as curtains or blinds: behind such glasses, the curious glances of neighbors are not afraid.

Colored glass is mainly used for glazing design facades of buildings. It may confuse someone that colored glass distorts color reproduction, but if the landscape outside the window does not please the eye, such a glass design will turn this property into an undeniable advantage.

stained glass

Stained glass is a separate type of decorative art. The first colored stained glass appeared in the millennium before last in Christian churches. You can admire the incredible creations of medieval masters, for example, in Notre Dame Cathedral.

Many mistakenly believe that stained glass windows are only used in churches. In fact, stained glass can decorate any room, whether it be a classic design or a high-tech style. In the sun, stained glass shimmers with different colors and casts colorful reflections on the walls, creates comfort and softens the light.

Decorative triplex

Decorative triplex - several glasses, between which there is a layer of textile, colored film, metal, wood or other materials. By combining different materials under layers of glass, very interesting effects can be achieved. Therefore, decorative triplex can be matched to any interior.

Decorative triplex, like stained glass, is of particular value for interior windows and doors. Light transmission fades into the background, allowing the owner to fully enjoy the design of the glasses.

In addition, thanks to the unusual design, the decorative triplex makes the window more reliable. He is not afraid of deformation, color fading or external influences. Decorative triplex also perfectly protects from noise and keeps the house.

Window overlays

Previously, technology did not allow making large panes for windows. Therefore, small pieces of glass were connected by binding. The pattern of such design was limited only by the imagination of the artist.

Now window linings are used to give the windows a special charm and decorate the facade of the house. You just need to choose the type and shape of the layout. In the house you can create your own Versailles or a cozy kitchen in Provence style.

Windows with a layout

The task of windows with a layout is essentially the same as that of overlays: to visually divide the glass area. But in windows with a layout, the separating profile is mounted inside the double-glazed window. The choice depends on the interior or the wishes of the owner.

Do not worry that there will be less light in the house. Neither layouts nor overlays affect the light transmission of windows: on the contrary, the light in the house will become soft and add coziness.

Sandblasting drawings on glass

Sandblasting drawings consist of grains of sand, but outwardly they look more like frosty patterns that appear on windows in winter. In a double-glazed window with backlight, sand drawing will give a real sense of a fairy tale.

Sandblasting also allows you to make areas of glass frosted. If you add patterns to such a decor, the windows will look more spectacular than designer curtains.

The design possibilities in Kaleva windows are perhaps limited only by the client's imagination. To make unusual patterns on glasses especially noticeable, I recommend paying attention to Kaleva Design.

Sincerely,

Glass is an important element of artistic design of works. Decoration under glass protects the work of art from the negative effects of the external environment, from dust, gives the work a neat, finished look.

Design types:

UV gluing

UV gluing is a modern technology for gluing translucent sheet glass structures. The special glue fills all the available space between the layers of glass, leaving no air bubbles or gaps, then polymerizes under the influence of ultraviolet rays, forming a very strong and absolutely transparent "glass-glass" or "glass-metal" joint.
This technology for the production of anti-vandal glass is widely used in the manufacture of furniture and interior items (tables, stands, shelves, cabinets, etc.), trade and exhibition equipment (showcases, counters, receptions, etc.)

With ultraviolet gluing you will get: high bonding strength, bonding points without visible glue, high responsiveness in terms of timing and a large area of ​​​​application such as glass vertins, glass tables, glass counters, glass table tops for receptions and so on.

Characteristics:

• The minimum size of an ultraviolet gluing part is 700x700mm.
• The minimum thickness of ultraviolet gluing parts is 6mm.
• The maximum glass thickness for UV bonding is 19 mm.

Laser engraving

Laser engraving is a unique way to decorate glass with photographic quality images using a laser.
In production, there are two ways of applying laser engraving.

• The first is the application of relief images by lightly touching the glass surface with a laser beam at a certain angle.
• The second method of engraving can be compared to the finest work of a jeweler, since in this case the design is applied inside the glass with two perpendicularly intersecting laser beams that heat the material to the desired temperature at the point of their contact, forming a small balloon from which the intended artistic images are born. Glass products with laser engraving will decorate any room and give individuality to the interior.

Characteristics for laser engraving:

• The minimum glass dimensions are 150 x 150 mm.
• The maximum glass size is 3000 x 2000 mm.

Diamond engraving

As we all know, the world does not stand still, and technology continues to step forward, simplifying and decorating our lives with innovations. One example of progress being made is diamond engraving glass, which used to be popular only in the production of crystal tableware, and now, thanks to the advent of a mechanical engraving machine, can be successfully used on glass or mirrors used for the manufacture of any interior and exterior items. This method of engraving is completely automated.

In the program of the machine, specialists lay down a design project, previously agreed with the Customer, and then the machine independently selects the necessary tool to reproduce the pattern on glass or mirror. Diamond engraving gives softness to the processed lines of the pattern, and diffused sunlight emphasizes the graceful reliefs of the glass or mirror surface. Diamond engraving gives softness to the processed lines of the pattern, and diffused sunlight emphasizes the graceful reliefs of the glass or mirror surface. Our engraving center Bimatech (Italy) is designed for high quality diamond engraving on glass. The 2D software allows you to apply diamond engraving on glass with a width of 3 mm, 6 mm and from 10 to 20 mm. Diamond engraving is widely used for glass doors, glass partitions, glass display cases, glass tables and other glass products.

Characteristics of diamond engraving:

• Minimum entry or exit on glass 15 mm.
• The minimum length of Diamond engraving lines is 30 mm.
• The minimum glass thickness is 6 mm.
• The maximum glass thickness is 19 mm.

Matt engraving

In modern world frosted glass more and more used in interiors in the form of stained-glass windows, showcases, partitions, steps, countertops, etc., respectively, technologies do not stand still, improving glass processing methods, in order to obtain new types and types of frosted glass products.
One of the most popular types of glass can safely be called frosted glass, which is able to meet the key requirements of the client, these are strength, aesthetics, the ability to transmit light and at the same time limit visual visibility, resistance to pollution, a variety of colors, as well as the ability to apply any images and figures.

Given that glass is a material that is difficult to process, a matte effect can be achieved by sandblasting the surface of the glass or by coating it with a special polymer composition. When sandblasted, the glass is rough, and by changing the fraction of sand or the intensity of the air supply pressure, the surface can be more or less rough with varying degrees of matting. In the case of glass coating with a polymer composition, the surface will be softer and less rough to the touch.

If you find it difficult to choose the type of glass you need, call us and we will do our best to satisfy your wishes.

Characteristics of glass for frosted drawings:

• Minimum product size 700 x 700 mm

• Maximum product size 3200 x 2200 mm

• Minimum glass thickness 4 mm

• Maximum glass thickness 19 mm

Colored glass

An ideal solution for decorating interior items and furniture, such as interior, office doors and partitions, steps and railings, facades and other openings where glass products are installed. Colored glass can be made in various variations with mosaics, color drawings and even filling with pebbles and other small objects.

Curved (curved) glass

Custom-shaped interior items have always attracted the attention of consumers. Glass was no exception and also began to acquire unusual shapes, occupying not the last place in the manufacture of partitions, railings and other decorative products. Curved glass is obtained by bending heated glass mass, which is placed in a metal mold, pre-made according to the customer's sketches. It is also possible to execute an individual decision of the Customer or the designer. Our experts will provide you with maximum advice on the possibilities of NewGlas.

Benefits of curved glass:

• High efficiency in placing an order until complete execution.
• The latest equipment (Germany).
• Extensive experience and graduates.

Glass bending characteristics:

• Minimum glass thickness 4 mm
• Maximum glass thickness 12 mm
• Minimum glass size 200 x 500 mm (where 500 mm is the bending side)
• Maximum glass size 2400 x 1800 mm
• Minimum radius 800 mm, for glass thicknesses from 4 to 6 mm
• Minimum radius 1300 mm, for glass thicknesses from 8 to 12 mm (inclusive)

Triplex

Triplex(laminated, laminated, tempered glass) is a design that is obtained by gluing together two or more layers of glass with a polyvinyl buteral film 0.38 mm thick. Such a constructive solution for the manufacture of products from TRIPLEX glass contributes to an increase in the degree of impact resistance, wear resistance, protection from ultraviolet rays and sound insulation.

In the production according to GOST, several sheets are used, glued together with a special polymer film, due to which, upon impact, it does not break, but cracks, and the fragments are held together.

Due to the fact that the manufacture of the triplex stele is carried out according to the specified technology, it has certain features. These include the following characteristics:

• a high degree of impact resistance, in which minor mechanical impacts do not harm the glass, and with strong ones it does not break into fragments;
• excellent heat resistance, that is, the ability to withstand and maintain its original properties and characteristics during sudden changes in ambient temperature;
• resistance to chemicals, including acids or alkalis;
• a high level of wear resistance, due to which the glass is less susceptible to light mechanical stress, such as scratching;
• good sound insulation performance; increased characteristics of resistance to radiation.

Triplex (laminated, laminated, tempered glass) is a structure that is obtained by gluing two or more layers of glass together with a polyvinyl buteral film 0.38 mm thick.

Specifications triplex:

• Max. glass size – 3000mm X 2000mm
• Min. glass size - 150mm on one side
• Min. thickness = 4+4mm
• Max. triplex glass thickness up to 19mm
• Max. edge polishing thickness in a bag (for countertops, doors, etc.):
  - rectangular products 50 mm
  - figured products

satin glass

In the industry of glass doors and partitions, one of the leading positions is occupied by the use of satin glass, which is obtained by abrasive processing with a jet of sand under compressed air pressure, as a result of which the glass surface acquires strength and a rough texture of matte color.

The use of sand of various fractions allows you to give velvety and visual softness to the glass. Sandblasting allows the Client's imagination to run wild and order any drawing, pattern, picture, photo, text, etc. to be applied to the glass.

Self-tinting film

Designers have been working for a long time to make glass self-tinting. Thus, when choosing a glass design, customers can receive a product that, at the right time, becomes completely opaque, capable of hiding 100% of visibility from unwanted eyes.

The analytical department, studying the world market, finding all the new developments in this area, and constantly comparing the price-quality ratio of these developments, decided to work with Chinese certified companies in this area. And at the festive event in 2012 they presented a new direction of glass design - self-tinting film.
Thanks to a special film, a special tape and a control unit, the glass can be tinted to a matte color to such a density that even when you come close to the glass, you will not be able to see anything that is happening behind the glass, and at the right time, when you need to give the glass 100% transparency the client from the remote control (key fob) can tint the glass.

Smart glass with adjustable transparency. Glass partitions (smart glass)

Smart film opens up new possibilities and expands the boundaries of space. Smart (smart) glass allows you to make a room comfortable in many cases. It is very convenient to install such glasses in shopping centers in order to hide products from unnecessary prying eyes after the closing of the pavilion. In an office space, a smart film will help you isolate yourself from colleagues during the meeting and focus on the topic of the meeting. On hot summer days, both at home and in the office, it is easy to create a comfortable atmosphere due to the fact that smart glass with adjustable transparency can be set to a convenient mode for transmitting sunlight. Recently, glasses with the ability to change color at any time have gained quite wide popularity.

As you already understood, the ability to change the transparency does not depend on the glass itself, but on the smart film, with the help of which ordinary glass becomes “smart”. Let's see how it works. To make, for example, a glass partition with adjustable transparency, it is necessary to triplex the smart film between ordinary glasses under temperature and treat the edge of each smart glass panel with special hermetic glue. This is necessary so that moisture does not get on the film in any case, since fragile microscopic contacts for electrical conductivity are connected to it, which are easy to damage, but difficult to repair.

Glass partitions smart glass

Self-tinting film is liquid crystals located on a polymer mesh and glued between two special films. In a calm (off) state, the crystals are arranged in a strict order, and the glass will be opaque. As soon as you press the button and the voltage is applied to the smart glass, the crystals will begin to move randomly, as a result of which the glass will become transparent. So, as we understand, the partition is considered off when it is opaque. We advise you not to keep it constantly turned on unless necessary. As for the color scheme, the choice is small, the smart film is milky with a hint of beige and matte with a hint of gray. If you are interested in this product, but you already have a partition or door installed and you want to make them with adjustable transparency, call us and our specialists will be happy to answer all your questions.

fusing

Fusing technology is the process of thermally joining several layers of glass into one whole. In the course of heating to a decent temperature, the fusing glass becomes soft, and all layers are sintered into one element. At the same time, the entire structure does not lose its shape and relative position.

The main purpose of using fusing technology:

The goal is to assemble a picture of the future stained-glass window from colored glass parts, glass particles, granules, drots, etc. on an integral glass surface.

Next, the glass is heated in a special oven to a temperature 850 degrees. Thus, a solid layer is created. If we do not take into account all the laboriousness and complexity of the work, then, unlike the rest, fusing glass can have different density, thickness, shape, texture.

This allows it to be used as a decoration for various interior elements: interior partitions, glass doors, inserts in the wall, in doors, in windows, in screens. Such stained-glass windows have a modern and aesthetic look. They are in great demand and popularity. In a special way, they look in the styles of postmodernism and hi-tech.

fusing- this is not just a term, it is a whole sequence of a number of special technologies for processing tempered glass for fusing, for which the formation temperature is 600 - 900 degrees Celsius.

Fusing is a technology.

Depending on the design solution and temperature conditions, the glass layers may spread or remain in their original form. The color scheme of the picture can change the appearance, or leave precise contours. It is possible to create a three-dimensional or convex pattern, or you can save its plane. As a result, you can be practically satisfied with your own work, because it is you who set the desired texture, desired thickness, relief and design look. With the right choice of glass types and heat treatment, fusing technology will give an excellent decorative effect and strength qualities to your glass.

Fusing in the interior

Fusing technology has been used since ancient times as a glass processing technique. In ancient Egyptian tombs and burials of other peoples, things made of sintered glass were repeatedly noticed. The technique of processing colored glass for fusing created a new era in the history of stained glass art. Glass has become free from metal and wooden frames, it has become an independent tool for decorating modern interiors.

At the moment, fusing is not only the components of the scenery, but also stained glass window inserts for furniture doors. These are decorative dishes, ceiling lamps, in other words, any modern addition to the interior of an office, apartment, restaurant, etc. Of course, the design looks of our houses are not yet completely filled with multi-colored paintings from frozen glass. That is why any glass component will stand out brightly and freshly in every room.

A bright element of fusing sintering technique shimmering in the sun's rays can make a simple fusing glass door a special interior detail, which hardly anyone can pass by indifferently.

Fusing also looks spectacular on mirrors. In addition, it is necessary to take care of such glass in the same way as for ordinary glass.

Glass interiors began to appear at the beginning of the last century as a realization of the idea of ​​a new generation of housing for people. Under the influence of time, fashion has undergone changes, inalienably adapting to almost all styles.

So, for example, the appearance of the classical style was marked by the use of real wood in the decor. But the intercourse of expensive tree species with glass was the most common combination of materials in today's classics. Only thanks to the “weightless” glass for fusing, interior details were filled with lightness. And the whole atmosphere was filled with the spirit of freedom and spaciousness. Such combinations were only possible with the use of glass and wood, which interacted harmoniously with the light walls.

Stained glass windows are back in fashion again. It is still the most important detail of the current modernity. Partitions and interior doors, fireplace screens and screens, according to the structure of the pattern and its color scheme, are completely independent elements of decor.

During the period of popularity of minimalism, the decor was simplified a bit. The whole bet was made on the natural beauty of the materials in the furniture. The absence of any accessories and additional decorations gave nobility to the forms. More or less recently, the Hi-Tech style has gained popularity. In the design of its interior, technological progress was used. And now, in addition to doors, walls, stair railings and marches, floors and ceilings have gained transparency. Furniture is distinguished by invisibility, the state of "weightlessness" crushed bookshelves and racks under itself. The technical devices or utensils that were on them look like they are floating in the air, and the entire wheel structure can move freely in the direction you need.

Without glass surfaces, we would not be able to imagine furniture elements. They are involved in the design of cabinets, showers, coffee tables, ceilings, floors. Their role in emphasizing the style of our homes cannot really be accurately assessed. Fusing glass can be used everywhere: in the bathroom, in the kitchen, in the bedroom, in the living room, in the hallway. In general, wherever a person can be. And this is good because over time there will be no need for mass deforestation, because wooden structures are gradually going out of fashion.

Photo printing

Glass painting gives traditional window or interior glass a completely new shape, which is why glass coloring very popular today.

In the glass workshop "MASTER-GLASS" glass painting is carried out at low prices and in a short time! We can change the color of any glass, the structure, size or shape of the glass does not matter. Also in our company you can buy colored glass, including tinted glass.

Glass painting. Technology

Glass is painted using special enamels. It is they who guarantee uniform distribution of color and durability of the paint. This can be done manually or mechanically. Then special painting lines are applied, which are suitable for large batches of the same items. And with minimal time.

In the first two weeks after painting, the glass should be protected from water. Subsequently, this will no longer be necessary.

Glass can be painted with UV printing (photo printing on glass). After that, a special protective film is glued onto the glass so that it becomes more durable, safety, and the pattern is protected from dirt.

Where is colored glass used or glass needs to be painted?

Painted and colored glass is used to decorate the interior, design the glass surface. Glass coloring is in demand in the production of glass furniture, such as glass tables, countertops, cabinets and other interior elements. In addition, it is used in the creation of stained-glass windows, glass doors, partitions. Almost all the basic properties of glass are preserved after its coloring.
