Is it possible to replace the glass in the door. Interior glass replacement services

From this article you will learn how to replace the glass in the interior door with your own hands. And we will also describe in which cases it is better not to do this yourself without experienced specialists.

Glazed doors are an adornment of any interior. In addition to being attractive appearance the glass in the door also has a practical function: it visually expands the size of the room and lets in additional light.

Due to their fragility, glass door elements often break or crack. If you decide to change the broken glass in the door leaf with your own hands, then you must first find out the degree of complexity of the work ahead.

Glass replacement in interior doors leaves you with two options: contact the masters or make a replacement yourself. With the first method, everything is clear: they found a phone number, called, the master arrived and did everything. You were satisfied, but paid money (sometimes a lot).

So, what is the plan for replacing glass in an interior door with your own hands:

1. We take out the leftovers broken glass from the door.
2. We make measurements for a new glass element.
3. We order or buy new glass.
4. We prepare the door leaf for inserting new glass.
5. We insert and fix the glass in the interior door.

And now we will analyze all these points in detail.

The answer is unequivocal - carefully!

For this procedure, you will need the following tools and tools:

• Tight, but not too thick gloves.
• Chisel or wide slotted screwdriver.
• Little mallet.
• Thick paper.
• Broom and shovel.

We put on gloves and with the help of a hammer and a chisel (screwdriver) we loosen the fasteners - glazing beads. We don't take them out until the end.

Important! In order to safely remove the remnants of broken glass from the door, the glazing beads must first be loosened from the top.

Now carefully remove the glass fragments. You should start with the largest ones. After removing them, immediately put them in prepared paper and wrap them. Now you can remove the fasteners.

If there is a rubberized gasket into which the glass is inserted, inspect it carefully. It may be damaged. In this case, you may need to purchase a new gasket tape.

If some parts of the glass fell to the floor and broke, then we collect them with a broom in a scoop. Try not to leave a single piece on the floor. All work is best done in slippers with hard soles or other shoes.

We measure the opening for new glass

There are also two options here: call a glazier or take measurements yourself. If the broken glass had complex shape, it is better to use the first option.

Moreover, it is better to call the master from the workshop, in which this glass will be cut out immediately. With the correct and uncomplicated glass shapes, you will be able to independently remove the desired dimensions.

You can buy glass in hardware stores or special workshops where they cut products. Modern manufacturers offer a wide range of products with different relief patterns, levels of transparency, shade or resistance to damage. If children live in the house, then it is important to purchase glass for an interior door with high impact resistance.

The peculiarity of calculating the parameters of the insert object is to measure the doorway. To this indicator, you will need to add a few millimeters of depth to insert the product. All measurements are best done using a ruler to determine the exact bed distance. Otherwise, the dimensions will be inaccurate, making installation impossible.

Important! Glass should never fit snugly into its box! That is, its dimensions should be less than the bed by 1.5-2 mm on each side.

Acquisition of new glass for interior doors

Order or buy new door glass can be in specialized workshops for cutting glass and mirror products. Or you can go to the building supermarket where the door was bought and make a purchase (order) there.

Interior doors equipped with glass inserts look great and delight the eye of their owner. Such door structures fill the room with light. However, glass is glass, and even today's strong glass breaks sometimes. At the same time, you should not be very upset - inserting glass into an interior door is quite simple.

Glass types

Before considering the procedure for replacing the glass insert in the door leaf, it is worthwhile to study the materials that can be used to perform these works. After all, there are many options that can replace the "classic" glass.

Decorative glass as an insert in the door is one of the most expensive options. Not all door manufacturers use similar glass sheets in their products. In general, this is an excellent option that does not require any additional modifications - the main thing is to find it on sale with the same type of decor or pattern as on the other doors in an apartment or house, which can be very challenging task. Often, if the glass on one door is damaged, this entails the need to replace glass inserts on all canvases, which can be very expensive, because the price of such glass starts from 1,500 rubles per square meter.

Ordinary glass is a good and, most importantly, more affordable alternative to expensive decorative glass. However, this material requires a slight refinement, which is pasting with a special decorative film. You can buy them at construction markets or in hypermarkets - a wide selection 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 monolithic polycarbonate (plexiglas). Any glass, whether ordinary or decorative, is glass with all its attributes. With careless operation, such inserts can break, which cannot happen with plexiglass. It is nothing but transparent plastic. There is only one drawback and it is insignificant - plexiglass is highly susceptible to scratches and eventually loses its transparency. As in the case of ordinary glass, a slight refinement is also possible here using the same film.

Rectangular glass replacement

Replace glass with traditional rectangular shape in an ordinary door leaf is easy. Often, a glass sheet or insert is mounted through the upper end.

So, the first step is to remove the pieces of old glass from the door. Then measurements are taken of the space in which the new glass sheet will be installed. After that, glass of suitable dimensions and thickness is purchased. Then it is very carefully inserted through the top of the door leaf. To strengthen the insert, you can apply silicone gel - it is applied around the perimeter of the glass element.

When taking measurements, it is necessary to take into account the depth of the groove where part of the glass goes. Its value must be added to the overall dimensions of the glass sheet. To measure it, lower a metal ruler into the groove.

If the glass is held on the door leaf with the help of the so-called "glazing beads", then both measurements and installation work are performed in the same order, except that the glazing bead must first be dismantled. Then, after installing the glass, it is installed back with small nails.

Premium door glass replacement

If everything is simple with more affordable models of interior doors, then some difficulties may arise with premium models. Such doors require a special approach. The replacement process is very labor intensive. Often, the canvas has a collapsible design, and in order to dismantle a glass insert that is broken or damaged in any other way, you will have to completely disassemble the entire door, then replace the insert and assemble everything back. Usually this work is trusted only by specialists, but you can do the replacement yourself. To do this, you need to know how this or that door model is disassembled.

If the door leaf is not made of wood, but of metal (for example, aluminum), then there are also certain nuances here. In the event that the glass is inserted in the same way as on inexpensive doors or beadings are used for fastening, then its replacement is quite possible. But it is very undesirable to allow direct contact of the metal of the door with the glass. When mounting, it is best to use a rubber lining.

How to replace non-standard glass

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

If the glass is inserted into the canvas through the top, then the first step is to remove the fragments of the broken glass insert. Then, using a felt-tip pen or marker, the resulting hole is outlined along the contour on paper or cardboard. After that, you need to order a new glass of the required shape in the workshop, after which you just have to insert it into place.

Features of working with panel structures

Paneled doors are very popular. Replacing glass is associated with the need to disassemble the structure. Often, these door panels are easy to disassemble. The glass in them is a panel. The canvas can consist of a vertical and transverse support, glass between them, as well as a baguette - this is a kind of decorative element.

The connections are based on a locking system - on most models it is a tongue and groove. It is not necessary to completely disassemble the door into its constituent elements - the main thing is to open access to the glass. Then from door structure they take out everything that remains of the damaged glass, and install a new one in its place, after which it remains only to assemble the structure back.

Sliding door glass replacement

Doors equipped with glass can be not only hinged - there are many designs and sliding solutions among them. If glass breaks in such an interior door, the first step is to dismantle the canvas, and in order to get to the glass, it is necessary to remove the metal frame-frame of the door. Due to the large dimensions, this can cause certain difficulties.

Decor

For creative people who like to improve something, make the world around them and other people a better place, the usual process of replacing glass can be turned into creative work. For example, you can get an interesting effect if the new glass is illuminated from the inside. How to do it? Everything is very simple - in the groove where the glass is inserted or in its end, they install led strip. After that, the system is connected to the electrical network. It is also possible to equip the door leaf with a microswitch so that the tape only lights up when the door is closed. Such decor gives a very wide scope for imagination and creativity, and the result can be very interesting and unique.

Replacing broken glass when repairing interior doors is a very daunting task. It has many special nuances that must be carefully adhered to. If you make a mistake, then it will be possible to correct it only with the purchase of a new glass.

To prevent this from happening, you need to know about all the small details when repairing glass doors. Design and material are also important. door panels. Of course, repair specialists do not advise everyone to take on such work. There are only two reasons for this:

1. The complexity of the design of the door. Modern design developments offer very complex options. Dealing with them will not be possible for everyone. But the first thing you need to understand is how the glass is fixed.
2. New technologies. Even repairmen are not familiar with all the new products. Each model may have unique qualities. In this case, for the reconstruction it is worth contacting only the master.

In principle, the main problems in replacing glass in interior doors are connected precisely with the complexity and unusualness of modern design solutions. When it comes to a simple apartment without frills, the replacement of a transparent element does not involve any particular difficulties.

To carry out the process of reconstruction and replacement of glass in the door, it is worth carrying out detailed preparation. The first thing you need to know about the required materials. It is important to remember that glass is nothing special and there are many ways to replace it.

Currently presented a large number of options that are offered for decorating rooms. Among them are some methods of glazing interior doors:

1. Use of decorative glass This option is the most expensive of all possible. Few manufacturers use this insert in their products. Decorative glass can be safely considered ideal. However, even in the best copies there are minuses. AT this case uniqueness and rarity can be distinguished. If the glass is broken on one sash, it will be very problematic to find an identical option.
2. Plain glass. The most common and frequently encountered option. However, due to its excessive simplicity and low price, it requires additional work. So, there is a need for pasting glass with various films. On average, the cost is 2 times less than the decorative counterpart.
3. Organic glass. No matter how beautiful and aesthetic glass inserts are, they have their own main disadvantage- fragility. The use of plexiglass completely neutralizes this problem. At its core, such a material can be called transparent plastic. Its only problem is susceptibility to scratches.
4. Wood fiber boards or plywood. Budget option replacement of glass in the door can be the use of laminated fiberboard. It is also possible to paste over it with a special film. However, this option will become very unaesthetic and unattractive.

The standard way to install glass in a door

In most cases, repairing interior doors with glass using quarters is very simple. A common mistake is to confuse them with glazing beads, but in some cases they can really be called that. However, this is not as important as the fact that fixing a door with this design becomes a quick and easy task.

And the process itself involves the following steps:

1. In the beginning, you will need, using tools like a chisel, to undermine the quarters a little. The main purpose of this is to stick out the holding studs.
2. The next step involves removing the nails with pliers. In this case, the sequence of removing quarters must not be violated. If this is done, then the glass can fall out at any time and break. Initially, you need to remove the side glazing beads, then the bottom, and at the end, the remaining top. It is at the last step that you need to be especially vigilant.
3. Dimensions. It is worth taking measurements that will allow you to choose the right glass.
4. Installation. The process involves only inserting into the door and fastening the glazing beads. That is, no features - just a repetition of the removal in reverse order.
5. Glass installation. When it comes to choosing ordinary glass, additional efforts will be required. For the process to be successful, you need to moisten the surface of the glass with soapy water. When gluing, it is important not to forget to smooth the film. After that, you can install the element in the door and fasten it with quarters.
