2023 is following in the footsteps of 2022 post-pandemic with an increased focus on mental health and how that reflects in your workspace. Open space that flows with natural light is becoming a common theme in offices that are focusing on mindfulness and for staff that hope that some Vitamin D will make the workday positive.

To ease the stress of getting started on a new project, we put together this Glass Sliding Door 101 crash course, full of information on features, benefits, and styles.

What type of Glass Door is Right for me?

There are many options available to you, all of which can be viewed on our site. As you work closely with our team to craft the perfect solution, you may even discover that the product you originally planned to use has been replaced with one that is better suited to your needs. 

We offer:

Types of Sliding Glass Design Options

It is important to us that you consider the design of the glass – especially if you do not wish to have a plain, traditional door. At the end of the day, our options give you an unlimited range of design options that can transform and update your home. 

Glass Doesn’t Have to be Clear

It may be necessary to create a door with a unique hue for a variety of reasons. It is possible to choose from a wide range of glass opacity options depending on your project and privacy requirements. A project with a greater amount of natural light, as well as a higher STC and reduced noise level, will benefit from these options.

Types of Frame Finish for Sliding Doors

Do you worry that the finish of the frame will not match the rest of your home? Providing multiple color options is one of the things that sets SpacePlus apart from other sliding door companies.  

Why Choose Glass Doors for your Office

As always, we advise you to ask yourself what the purpose of your project is and what you are hoping to achieve from there. Glass doors can be used for a variety of purposes. There may be times when you would like to maximize natural light and create stunning designs with glass that are tailored to your tastes and needs. It is nice to be able to choose from a wide variety of options when customization is important.

Glass doors are a great solution for space planning challenges.

Do Glass Doors Make Sense in a Green Building?
