Glazing that catches the eye - which hardware to choose?

13 of May '24

From the series "Windows, doors, fittings and covers - trends 2024"

In recent years we can observe a real revolution in the way glass is used in architecture and interior design. This is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also functionality. Glass doors, walls, balustrades or facades contribute to the optimal use of natural light, which creates a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere inside. In addition, they open up the space, making the rooms appear larger and more spacious, connect the interior with the outside environment and add lightness to the whole composition.

However, in order to achieve the full aesthetic and functional effect, it is crucial not only to choose the right glass, but also to choose the right hardware. WALA offers a wide selection of hinges, handles, catches, locks and handles for glass panes. Importantly, it is possible to order all these elements in one common color. Thus, they will be an integral part of any glazed project, affecting its appearance, as well as the comfort of users.

Magnetic handles for glass doors

When opening the glass door of your dreams, you can choose from magnetic handles and handles. Depending on the design of the door, there are magnetic handles and catches for the connection between two sheets of glass or between the sheet and the aluminum frame. WALA offers magnetic handles designed for tempered glass doors, including: H4 with a simple handle - presents a timeless and classic style; H5 with a handle with a window - is characterized by a modern designer look, while remaining elegant andtasteful; at the same time, each of them is also available with a B1 lock for toilet doors - designed specifically for toilets, it has a safety feature that allows the door to be opened from the outside.

It is extremely important that each of these handles is made with the utmost precision to enhance the aesthetics and beauty of glass doors. When choosing a handle, it is also worth paying attention to the magnetic catches and choosing the right ones. With this approach, glass doors become not only practical, but also an aesthetic element of the interior.

Modern design, thanks to glass handles

The choice of glass handles as an alternative to handles opens the door to extraordinary design possibilities. The abundance of shapes and finishes makes them perfectly compatible with a variety of styles - from modern to classic. Using glass handles is therefore an excellent way to give the interior a unique character. The decision to use them not only emphasizes individuality, but also reveals refined taste. Thanks to the use of dedicated glass mounts, the vast majority of classic handles can become a kind of jewelry for your glass doors.

Hinges for glass doors - durability and safety

Properly selected glass h inges are crucial for holding heavy, tempered glass panels. Precision is extremely important in their design and manufacture, as they must not only be durable, but also subtle and elegant to blend harmoniously with the room's decor. When choosing hinges for use in glass joinery, it is worth paying attention to their utility class,(WALA hinges have 12 utility class) which will guarantee reliability, but also long-term functionality. It is also important to check whether they are adapted to the thickness of the glass sheets to ensure their versatile use in a variety of projects(WALA hinges have a tolerance for the thickness of glass sheets from 8 to 12mm).

When looking for ideal solutions for loft-like, spacious interiors, black glass hinges are worth noting. Particularly eye-catching is the Anode in black with F40 cut. The elegant look and contrast of the matte black of the hinge with the soft shine of the smooth glass give the arrangement a modern touch. These elements emphasize the open space, characteristic of the loft style, adding to its unique charm.

There are two types of hinges available in WALA's glass hardware catalog: the WTA and WTB. Their system of operation is exactly the same, but they differ in visual aspects, more precisely in the shape of the bezel. An important feature that distinguishes WALA hinges from the competition is the fact that the hinge has independent adjustment in two planes (up/down and right/left) allowing for safe and precise implementation.

Glass fittings - additional equipment that is worth paying attention to

Glass fittings, although full of aesthetics, must first of all guarantee practicality. In this context, it is worth considering the use of door stops, which effectively protect glass panes from damage. These discreet but elegant elements made of durable stainless steel and UV-resistant rubber are installed in the floor. Thanks to rubber rings, the stoppers absorb the force of opening the door, while preventing the glass from breaking against the wall. Their subtle design blends in perfectly with the environment, while providing effective protection of the door from damage during a draft or sudden opening.

The ideal complement to the hardware for glass panes is the lock for glass doors, which is based on a proven, classic system. This modern lock allows both double-sided and single-sided opening with a standard key, ensuring not only security, but also ease of use.

The lock can be installed in the classic way - horizontally just below the magnetic handle (for connections between glass panes or between the panes and the door frame), and also vertically on the lower part of the door under the handle. In the second option, the locking mechanism goes into the floor catch. With this solution, you can enjoy greater peace of mind in terms of protecting the premises, without giving up the pleasure of having large glazing in the home or office.
