Longden is able to supply many of the door styles detailed on panelled doors with glazed panels in place of solid panels. Where vision panels have been specified, glass type will be determined by performance characteristics required. When specifying external doorsets, double glazed units can be supplied.

Bevelled glass

As an alternative glazing option, Longden can supply bevelled glass. Bevelled glass is usually found on the inner face of the door leaf but if specified, Longden can supply bevelled glass on both the inner and the outer face of the door leaf.

Where more decorative glazing effects such as acid etching is required, Longden can advise on all options available.

Prismatic glass

This innovation allows a more creative and attractive input for vision panels, both in the use of the steelwork and the various types of glass, including the use of bevelled and pristmatic glasses to accommodate contemporary design and architectural standards, as shown in the accompanying images.

The innovative stainless steel system allows it's extremely strong constructive method to contain a highly decorative and artistic use of annealed and machined glass within defined dimensions.

Acid etched

Together with Artglass UK Ltd, Longden can offer speciality glazing options which adds something truly special to your glazed door, doorset or screen.

By combining some of these processes with other decorative methods, even more amazing finishes and patterns can be achieved.
