Accessories and zest in the design add originality to any decor. Among the latter is beveled glass. Used to make doors, showers, partitions and exclusive decors interior Such products are beautiful and safe.
Glass that has gone through the bevelling stage radically enlivens the interior and gives it a different look. This result is a consequence of the optical effect: light rays are refracted when they hit the beveled edges of the glass.
Beveled glass doors are quite mysterious designs, because not everyone knows the word “beveled”. Its meaning is interpreted as a face or side, but its direct relation to glass remains vague. So, a bevel in glazing is a special bevel or chamfer that decorates the material. Its shape can be regular geometric, or broken, curved, wavy. In terms of aesthetics, such glass is significantly superior to any other treated analogues.
What does a beveled surface look like?
Colored glass door or mirror can also be designed using bevelling. Stained glass windows are created using a similar technique to make the composition play with new colors, because each surface of the glass allows refraction at a certain angle Sun rays, thereby showing off the most attractive side of yourself. For mirror glass Beveling is applied to the edges, not the edges. Such a mirror looks original, aesthetically pleasing, impressive and attractive when decorated wooden frame. Such designs exude elegance and elegance, high cost and luxury.
Basic requirements for creating a facet
Beveled glass doors are quite difficult to produce, which makes them quite expensive. In addition, the choice of material must be approached very responsibly, because not all glass sheets are subject to such processing. Beveled structures can be installed as part of entrance group, as well as for zoning indoor space. 
The main material is special glass with a thickness of 5 to 25 mm, which guarantees a certain degree of protection. Thin sheets suitable for interior doors, and thick ones for entrance doors. The beveled glass frame is made of copper or brass; the cost of these materials is quite high, which is taken into account when determining the price of the product. The design profile is made of the same materials, which ensures the integrity of the style, the ability to connect parts of the frame and frame, as well as the reliability of the product.

First view
– the usual, the simplest and the most popular. One cut is made along the edge of the mirror; its width can be from 5 to 50 mm.
Second
– double cut. This is a type of bevelling, when another narrower cut is made along the wide edge of the cut. In this case, a stunning bright refraction of light is formed on the mirror.

The process of manufacturing faceted stained glass windows for interior and entrance doors not easy. Therefore, our craftsmen pay considerable attention to the quality and origin of materials. For bevels decorating doors you will need:
- special glass with a thickness of 5 to 25 mm;
- frame made of copper or brass;
- The finished stained glass window is assembled into a copper or brass profile.
Stages of creating bevels for doors
In order to create high-quality beveled stained glass windows for doors, a lot of effort and skill will be required. After all, professional bevel removal is required.
The first stage begins with the processing of beveled elements, so according to the sketch, a chamfer is removed along the entire perimeter. The bevelling operation is carried out in several stages - grinding and polishing. In this case, the glass can be pre-treated, for example, by sandblasting, for greater effectiveness.
The second stage of work consists of assembling the stained glass window from cut glass sections according to the approved sketch. There are two options for assembling the door bevel - according to classical system"in a rigid broach" or using Tiffany technology.
Third stage: the stained glass window is placed in a profile, the joints are treated with glue or silicone.
Strength and reliability of faceted stained glass
Among the features of doors with beveled stained glass is their strength, because they use fairly thick glass, a durable profile, and tight seams. It is able to withstand constant mechanical stress over a long period of time, that is, frequent opening (closing) of the door. Beveled doors are quite durable and will last for several decades.
In addition to interior doors with beveled glass, similar decoration of entrance doors is often ordered. After all, it withstands temperature changes. In addition, beveled stained glass does not allow drafts, since all joints are reliably processed by soldering and pre-glued.
If you somehow managed to break the glass or a crack appeared, then there is no need to completely change the entire beveled stained glass window. It is possible to replace only the affected area, which will be much cheaper and faster.
In addition to beveled stained glass, other stained glass techniques are also used in doors. At the same time, the doors themselves are divided into different categories. All this allows you to use doors with stained glass in various style solutions and apply them in any interior:
Caring for beveled doors
There are no difficulties in operating beveled doors. Naturally, some basic caution wouldn't hurt. Do not slam them, hit the glass with a heavy object, etc. It is also necessary to avoid aggressive processing of bevels in doors during the cleaning process, that is, the use of brushes and abrasive cleaning substances when washing.
You can clean stained glass with a soft, lint-free cloth soaked in glass cleaning liquid. Moreover, it is better not to spray it directly on beveled doors. Of course, this procedure should be done as the glass becomes dirty - once a week or every two weeks.
Types of faceted stained glass windows and their use in the interior
Depending on the classification method, several types of facet stained glass can be distinguished. They are distinguished:
- By type of drawing - pattern. This is how a bevel is most often chosen for doors with geometric pattern, so chamfering when working with straight and smooth lines is easier. In addition, there are complex patterns or combined stained glass windows.
- According to the chamfering method. There are different bevels: single-sided, double-sided, double (triple). You can order a bevel for a door with glass processed on one side, on both sides, or with a more careful, double cut.
The use of faceted stained glass windows in the interior is quite extensive. In addition to decorating entrance and interior doors, they are used to decorate furniture. Inserted into bookcase doors or kitchen cabinets, furniture walls. Faceted glass is also placed in window frames.
Stained glass windows are made from thinner beveled glass for partitions between rooms and wardrobe facades.

- the severity of the stained glass window, so it cannot be mounted in doors made of low-quality material.
The cost of creating beveled stained glass windows for doors
Facets for doors look especially advantageous when illuminated by natural light. The edges of thick glass shimmer like huge gems. Of course, looking at a picture like this, no one wants to think about the cost of getting such exquisite decor for their home.

- price of materials (mainly glass);
- stained glass size, number of elements;

Features of beveled doors
One of interesting features beveled elements for doors, which distinguishes them from other stained glass windows, is the use of only completely clear glass. Thus, these stained glass windows are a kind of symphony of light. The exception is sandblasting, which also gives the stained glass some charm.

Luxurious and monumental,mirror doors with facet act as an exclusive interior decoration and serve as a demonstration of the standard of living and good taste of the owners. As a result of sophisticated technology, models are created that combine impeccable functionality with unique elegance. The raised pattern on the reflective surface catches and refracts rays of light, spreading a precious glow, illuminating and visually enlarging the space. In addition, the product repeats and extends the room, giving the impression of its limitlessness.
Based on heavy-duty glass, talented craftsmen make structures that:
- designed for full use in dressing rooms, living rooms, and dining rooms. Despite the fact that beveled mirrored sliding doors look like works of art, they delight in practicality and performance;
- They fit perfectly into ensembles of any style. Initially, beveled processing of products was used in palace compositions, but today the themes and variations of stained glass windows are so wide that solutions can also be selected for urban interiors;
- create unique lighting effects and play with light in a new way. This property models can easily be made even more expressive by combining the pattern with front or back lighting.
What are the features of the technique?
The design of mirrored doors with a bevel resembles classical technology creating stained glass, but with some differences. They consist in the fact that every detail of the future drawing is pre-processed. The edge is cut off from the glass, ground, polished, forming edges with different angles. The resulting elements are quite heavy, so they are placed in a frame made of copper or brass.
In general, there are several ways to assemble an ornament:
- traditional, in which each component is covered with glue, placed in metallic profile and soldered at the joints;
- Tiffany - an option that involves wrapping the stained glass parts with copper foil and soldering them with tin solder;
- using bevels - relief elements that are glued to the mirror, creating a “pseudo-stained glass window”. A beveled mirrored sliding door decorated in this way is very beautiful, but easier to manufacture, and therefore more affordable.
What to consider when choosing?
The key difference between the products under consideration and products decorated according to other methods is the impressive weight caused by the large and heavy details of the design. However, this characteristic does not apply to options with bevels-rhinestones. If the large mass of the canvas risks becoming a problem (for example, installation is planned in an apartment where there are small children), you can buy a mirrored door with a bevel of this type.
Other nuances include:
- impossibility of manufacturing all-glass sashes with beveled stained glass. IN in this case It is allowed to use glued rhinestones;
- design of only straight surfaces. For radius models, it is possible to choose other processing techniques.
