Glass door panels are a popular and great way to separate space but still allow the light and sight lines to continue on. The most popular is a plain glass door, but there are also other options in the glass category. There are many ways to keep the glass as the material but change how it is projected visually. The different types of glass can include white glass, pearl glass, regular glass, tinted glass, frosted glass, and mirrored glass. All of these glass door and panel options can be set in frames or can be constructed as frameless doors.

Regular glass doors

Regular glass doors are exactly what they sound like – its regular glass that’s clear and see through.

White glass doors

White glass is almost as if someone took a regular glass door and evenly coated it with white spray paint. This option is very close to the pearl glass option, the similarities falling in the same color and light filtering categories, but they do not have the rainbow iridescence or swirled features.

Pearl glass doors

Pearl glass is glass with a whiteish iridescent swirl added to it. Pearl glass blurs the ability to view through the glass itself but still allows the flow of sunlight to breach through. Pearl glass is a great option to bring a tiny bit of whimsical color into the office space.

Tinted glass doors

Tinted glass is exactly what it sounds like – regular glass but tinted in a different color. There is almost an unlimited amount of options for color and shade with this style. The shade determines how the sight lines are affected. For example, if the color of the glass is light pink, then the visibility through the glass itself won’t be much different compared to a door or wall that is made out of black tinted glass like on a car.

Frosted glass doors

 Frosted glass is somewhat similar to pearl, though without the iridescent quality and less visibility. The frosted glass can be made as dense or as light as desired and typically blocks the view of anything but shapes and light.

Mirrored glass doors

Mirrored glass is great for rooms that you want to see out but don’t want anyone to see in. They are often used in conference rooms and allow the room to be private. If the mirrored glass is placed on the outside wall, the space reflects itself allowing it to seem bigger and brighter. On the inside, it allows for privacy, but it doesn’t hinder the sight lines from the rest of the office and allows more light in than a regular wall would.

All of these glass door options can be fitted into a customized frame or they can be frameless. This leaves not only the dozens of various unique options for the glass itself but a dozen more for the edge styling. There are more than enough options just simply in the glass door category with the regular glass, white glass, pearl glass, tinted glass, frosted glass, and mirrored glass to match the office space or create a unique feature.
