FAQ
PRODUCT INFORMATION
1) What does ordering a door include?
- Sliding system or door hinges
- Grip handle or handle bar (for sliding doors and swinging doors)
- Lock handle set or door lock (for hinged doors)
- Installation manual
Please note that some products are also offered without hardware! If a product does not contain any hardware, we will point this out clearly in the product description.
2) What kind of glass are the doors made of?
All our doors are made of toughened/tempered glass. Tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension. Such stresses cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards as plate glass (annealed glass) does. The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury.

6) What is sandblasted glass?
Sandblasted glass is produced by spraying sand at high velocities over the surface of the glass to diffuse transmitted light, reduce glare and give the glass a white, frosted appearance. During sandblasting, only the areas that are to remain transparent are masked for protection. The depth and degree of the translucency of the sandblasted finishing vary with the force and type of sand used.
7) Can you also sandblast my logo or personal design?
Yes, we can. For each door model we offer an article with a personalized design or logo included in the price. We need about 5 business days for the development and then send you the finished designs for final approval. As soon as you confirm that you are satisfied with the design, we will start the preparations for production. We charge $100.00 for a reproduction of your design or logo and $150.00 if the design or logo needs to be modified or enhanced. Please note that personalized products cannot be exchanged, returned or cancelled. However, we do offer the option to cancel the order until we have started production of the door. In case of cancellation you will receive a refund, but we will deduct the costs for the logo or design development.
8) What privacy options do your doors offer?
For each of our frosted designs you have the choice between 3 different privacy levels:
1: Semi-private - negativ (design transparent/design background frosted)
2: Non-private - positiv (design frosted/design background transparent)
3: Full-private - opaque for an additional charge of $30.00 (glass panel front side: design frosted/glass panel back side: completely frosted)
Please note that the design frosting is always applied to the front of the glass panel. Full frosted glass panels without design have the frosting also on the front side. For opaque designs, the entire back of the glass panel is additionally frosted. See more details here.
