Here at CBD Glass we give our customers full control over their Glass Door Design with many beautiful design possibilities. Designing a glass door entails the choosing of a dimension, texture, color and frame. Other aspects of designing can include edge-work, surface treatment, substrate and LED back lighting. Below we’ll go through some of the things to keep in mind when designing a Glass door.

CBD Glass has a wide range of choices for textures, colors, styles and treatments which can help diversify your home’s glass doors while keeping a similar look and or feel. Glass’ unique properties make it ideal for doors which lead out to nature, allowing the room to appear larger and less constricted because of the added area of sight and scenery. The bigger the glass door the better the view of the outside world, this can add a natural lighting throughout your home.  In the event that you’d like to add a glass door where sunlight is directly facing we offer the option to frost the glass, in order to reduce the amount of sunlight coming into the room. This can also help reduce electricity costs of cooling the room while allowing natural light to enter.
