Mirrors, shelves, doors, stained glass windows and other glass objects are an integral part of the interior of a residential building. Most often, mirrors are found in the hallway and in the bathroom. And shelves, stained glass windows and doors made of such material are less popular, but are not excluded as decor. Despite their different functionality, all these products are united by increased fragility. Therefore, the standard wall fastening system is not suitable. In this case, it is necessary to use special fasteners for glass.
How to insert glass into an MDF facade profile?
The MDF facade profile is somewhat reminiscent of platbands, the same 45-degree angles, approximately the same width.
There are, of course, differences; the MDF façade profile has grooves for glass
(if we are talking about glass).
You just need to connect the blanks (“platbands”, this will make it easier to understand what we are talking about) of the facade together.
Also, in some cases, a rubber seal is used, they are different, but to have an idea of what I’ll “throw in” a picture.
The ends of the workpieces must be coated with glue, I recommend “Titan” polymer glue, it is a universal glue, I often work with it, there are no questions about the quality of the gluing at all.
Pay attention to several points, perhaps the workpieces are fastened together (in the corners) with special fastening elements, everything is intuitive there, the fastening element is in a special place for it, and then with a hammer and not strong blows, we drive it into place and so on in all corners.
I’m finishing with this part: We coat the ends with glue from only one workpiece, in other words, there is no need to coat two ends at the joints.
Let's go further: the glass is inserted at the stage when the blanks are assembled in the letter “P”, the lower blank is inserted last.
If a seal is provided, insert it from the back side of the facade.
The seal is inserted last, the frame must be completely assembled.
There is no need to coat the ends of the glass in cases with sealing rubber.
That's it, it's a completely simple job, you don't even need instructions, everything is intuitive.

Glass doors
A feature of the designs of cabinet kitchen furniture is the presence of facade surfaces in it. It is these surfaces that determine the decor of furniture items.
Various materials are used to make facades, including glass.
Glass facades create a fashionable and original interior in the kitchen, giving it a feeling of lightness, especially when there are many kitchen furniture modules concentrated in it.
If glass with decor is used, then the facade surfaces, and with them the entire kitchen interior, become especially attractive.
The glass used for furniture facades has sufficient strength. It is made using a special technology.
Glass for kitchen facades has high strength and is destroyed only by a very strong impact, which can happen extremely rarely in everyday life. In this case, the glass does not break into sharp pieces, but into small ones that do not have sharp edges.
Types of compounds used for gluing
It should immediately be noted that there are many options for adhesives. Most are used by professionals and are difficult to find. Therefore, you should consider the available types that can be purchased without problems.
"Liquid Nails"
This type of glue has a wide range of applications. Excellent adhesion to any surface, even with uneven surfaces.
There are two types:
- water-soluble - does not tolerate exposure to water, but holds porous surfaces well.
- organosoluble - dries quickly and sets, but has a pungent odor.
I would like to do the gluing in the air.
Two-component adhesive
This glue is of excellent quality. It glues wooden surfaces and glass tightly. In addition, it acts as a sealant.
- ease of application;
- increased adhesion;
- viscosity is very low;
- transparency even of thick glue.
Care must be taken during gluing.
PVA glue
Widely distributed among consumers. The price is reasonable, the quality is decent, and can be purchased at any hardware store.
- does not ignite;
- no chemicals;
- no pungent odor;
- tolerates temperature changes well.
In addition, he is not afraid of mechanical stress.
Double-sided tape
This mounting method is gaining popularity. When the glass is opaque, this gluing method is ideal.
Glass fastening
Three types of glass fastening structures are used on façade doors:
- Traditional design - an opening is made in a facade panel made of solid material according to the size of the glass and it is inserted into this opening;
- Frame design - according to the dimensions of the outline of the facade door, a frame is made of aluminum or another material for inserting glass;
- Frameless design - the facade consists of one glass.
For the first option, you can take regular thickened glass; in such cases, I make decorative inserts from the panel material in the opening.
Durable glass is inserted into framed and frameless structures, since due to the peculiarities of this design, distortions may occur during operation.
As a result, the glass may crack.
High-strength glass makes the façade structure heavier, so their installation requires special hinges, handles, closers and magnets.
When installing fittings, special gaskets should be used to prevent direct contact between glass and metal.
Cladding of internal walls
How to attach glass to the wall? The panels used for these purposes are perfectly combined with metals and wood, which helps bring the most daring ideas of designers to life. For glazing vertical surfaces, any type of glass can be used (enamel, triplex, patterned, engraved, matte, etc.), as well as mirrors. In fact, you can experiment endlessly here. It is noteworthy that the walls can be finished in two ways:
- 1. Frameless. The wall surface is pre-leveled, and only after that the panels are either glued or fixed using point connectors.
- 2. Frame. The name speaks for itself: in this case, a frame is used, behind which you can hide the electrical wiring. It is noteworthy that cutouts for sockets in tempered glass panels are made before it is tempered. In general, this is a very good option, since you do not need to pre-level the walls and if a separate module fails, it can be replaced with a new one. The frame is fixed using fasteners.
Decoration of glass facades
Facade glass is rarely left transparent, as it sometimes happens in facades of traditional design with inserts.
For facades of this design, frosted and stained glass can be used. More often, façade glass surfaces are decorated in different ways.
The simplest of them is to use laminating films of different colors or with different designs or patterns .
A more expensive, but also more beautiful decor is sandblasting glass , giving it a matte finish.
By alternating matte and transparent areas, the desired pattern is obtained. Using special machines you can make a shaped glass surface of the facade.
A new way to decorate a glass facade is ultraviolet photo printing . The design is applied to the glass using a special printer.
The most modern method of decoration is applying a design to glass with a laser .
However, it is worth understanding that all decoration methods increase the cost of kitchen furniture with glass fronts.
To summarize, we can say with confidence that kitchen facades made of glass are stylish, practical and durable!

Spider glazing
Installation of glass sheets directly to the spider through prepared holes is possible with the spider type of glazing. The technology for installing glass on facades using this method is quite complex and requires strict adherence to the rules. However, this system provides for a lot of design variations of facades, for which it is valued among modern engineers in the construction of buildings with glass facades. This technique allows you to join the sheets at any angle, while the load is evenly distributed over the fixation points. The material used for spider glazing may be susceptible to expansion when heated under natural operating conditions, therefore, when designing such facades, it is necessary to accurately calculate the coefficients for this criterion of the physical characteristics of the material. This will avoid unnecessary stress at the joints of the glass blocks.

Decorative fastening elements
Cords are a decorative decoration. The scope of application is very wide, including in furniture production. Cords are used as a method of fastening glass and stained glass in cabinet furniture. The cords are manufactured using Italian equipment and have a diameter from 4 mm to 12 mm.
Product to order:
- Thickness: 10mm
- Price: 77 rub/m
- Packing: 300 m
- Package price: 23085 rub.
Accessories
Interesting solutions in the development of components for furniture using glass. For example, there are mechanisms for extending tables, in which the tabletop is made up of individual glass plates, which are moved inside the table like blinds. The cabinets use rather complex mechanisms that specifically provide for the presence of narrow glass plates in the curtain doors that open in the vertical direction.
Furniture made entirely of glass is unlikely to ever be included in the list of essential goods - at least because of the established opinion about its fragility. In addition, cabinet furniture made of transparent glass, intended primarily for use as storage, like a display case, does not protect its contents from prying eyes, which makes it necessary to maintain ideal order inside and limit its contents, which is not always convenient. Therefore, preference will always be given to combined furniture, in which glass plays a mainly decorative role. Therefore, to use this amazing transparent material, more and more special fittings will be required.

Regulations for inserting glass, stained glass and mirrors into furniture facades
As a rule, any furniture set includes one or more display cabinets, which adds some variety and lightness to the design of the product. To expand design capabilities, our company offers a large selection of various inserts for display-type furniture facades: transparent and patterned glass, engraved and painted glass, film stained glass and with photo printing, silver and bronze mirrors.
All furniture display facades can be divided into two groups: milled and framed. And the regulations for inserting glass, stained glass and mirrors into them are different.
Leafing through the catalogs
If you carefully examine the contents of the thick catalogs of leading suppliers of furniture fittings, you will find that there are no more than ten out of a thousand pages devoted to fittings for furniture made entirely of glass. We can say that there are almost no fittings for glass furniture; rather, it is produced only for products using glass.
The first to appear (back in the 60s of the last century) were plastic runners with a W-shaped cross-section, installed in a body made of chipboard. They moved sliding doors made of a single sheet of glass that did not have any frame. It is curious that in the domestic furniture industry, drilling holes for the handle due to the lack of appropriate equipment at furniture factories, as a rule, was not carried out, and during its manufacture a vertical groove was made in the sheet, by which it was moved along the guides. Plastic corner connectors have become widespread for creating glass display cabinets in retail establishments.
Today, the design of glass door sliding mechanisms has become significantly more complicated: W-shaped guides have been abandoned almost completely. For example, hollow corners are placed on all corners of a rectangular sheet of glass that does not have any cutouts or drillings and secured with screws. Of these, the lower ones each have one roller with a groove that rolls along a guide, and the upper ones each have two smaller diameters, which move in the groove of the U-shaped upper guide. With double glass in the product, the depth of this design does not exceed 40 mm. There are also mechanisms for sliding glass doors with guides in the form of metal rolling pins, placed outside the body and having additional decorative value.
Inserting glass, stained glass or mirror into a milled display case
- From the back side of the furniture along the perimeter of the milled display “window”, using a cylindrical cutter, a cut in the form of a quarter with a depth of 8 mm and a width of 12 to 14 mm is selected, depending on the model of the furniture facade.
- The horizontal plane of the resulting depression is coated with silicone.
- Glass, mirror or stained glass is placed in it.
- The gap between the glass and the vertical plane of the lowering is closed with a white plastic bead.
- The bead is secured with metal pins.
Since a cylindrical cutter is selected for glass, stained glass or a mirror, there is a radius of 6 mm in all four corners. In order not to break off the corners of glass, stained glass or mirrors, the latter should have a size slightly smaller than the size of the cut. In this case, the ends of the glass insert will not fit tightly to the vertical plane.
The size of the mirror, glass and stained glass inserted into the furniture display case is calculated as follows: 105 mm is subtracted from the overall height or width of the milled display case of any type of furniture facades of the Economy, Universal, Prestige and Elite series. For example, for a showcase with dimensions of 716×396 mm, glass with dimensions of 611×291 mm is required. The exceptions are the “Corner”, “Displaced” and “Asymmetry” model showcases, for which the sizes of the inserts are calculated individually. When calculating the insert for plastic furniture, 107 mm should be subtracted from the overall dimensions of the product.
When ordering furniture together with glass, mirrors and stained glass, the cost of a plastic bead is included in the price of 1 square meter of product.
Features of choice
The holder for glass shelves should be different:
- safety margin, since glass is a fragile material;
- reliability of fixation. As a rule, shelf holders are equipped with special clamps that secure the shelf in the fittings;
- safety of use. The fastening should not have sharp corners, roughness or other defects that could lead to damage to the surface.
When choosing, you need to consider:
- type of fittings;
- material of manufacture;
- technical specifications.
Types of shelf holders for glass
To attach glass shelves to a wall or in a cabinet, only external holders are used, since it is impossible to install hidden fittings in the glass. Among the external elements the following stand out:
- overhead shelf holders. The simplest and most inexpensive type of furniture fittings for shelves, characterized by easy installation. To protect the surface of the shelf, a rubber or plastic pad is installed. Among the disadvantages are the low level of strength, since the glass shelf is simply placed on the holder and is not fixed in it, and the need for a clear location of fasteners around the perimeter of the shelf, since even a slight misalignment under load can lead to cracking of the surface;
Inserting glass, stained glass or mirror into a framed showcase
- A silicone seal of the required size is inserted into the grooves of the prepared parts of the frame display case, depending on the depth and width of the groove of the frame part.
- The parts of a frame display case with a silicone seal embedded in them, a stained glass window, glass or mirror are assembled into a single whole in a manner inherent in the assembly of a furniture frame facade of this type.
- When using dowels and glue in the assembly, the assembled furniture display case is kept in the clamp for the required amount of time.
To determine the sizes of mirrors, glass or stained glass windows of furniture frame display cases of types No. 6/80 “Wide prefabricated frame with obstruction” and No. 6–8/80 “Wide prefabricated frame without obstruction”, 84 mm are subtracted from the overall dimensions of the facades, for types No. 6/50 “Narrow prefabricated frame with obstruction” and No. 6–8/50 “Narrow prefabricated frame without obstruction” - 144 mm.
To determine the size of the insert in the “Narrow Frame” made of aluminum profile, subtract 29 mm from the overall dimensions, in the “Wide Frame No. 1” - 5 mm, in the “Wide Frame No. 2” - 4 mm.
The size of glass, mirror or stained glass of a furniture display facade from the “Frame 2201” type is determined by subtracting 96 mm from the overall dimensions, and from the “Frame 2205” type - 106 mm.

Dishwasher facade: types of fastenings, materials, installation steps
Built-in appliances have already become firmly established in modern everyday life and are used in almost any kitchen. This is not only stylish, but also practical - you can significantly save useful space and, if necessary, hide household appliances.
Dishwashers are quite impressive in size, so they are most often built into furniture. In this case, the appearance of the equipment will depend on the facade of the cabinet.
Purpose and range of accessories
The fittings for shower cabins are specially designed for use in conditions of high humidity. Therefore, manufacturers use corrosion-resistant materials for their manufacture that can last for several years. The most commonly used materials are aluminum, brass and steel along with rubber seals. To improve the appearance, the elements are chromed, polished or painted.
Do you need fittings for shower cabins? You can buy
Hinges for installing doors on shower cabins.
Knob handles for doors.
PVC sealing profiles.
Using various sets of fittings, you can change the shape and size of the shower stall. The design can be square, rectangular, polygonal or asymmetrical. The appearance of the products is selected based on the style of bathroom design. Fittings for glass shower cabins
allows you to make swing and sliding doors. The latter make it possible to significantly save space in the plumbing room.
However, when choosing, you must always pay attention to the quality of the selected models. Not only the strength and durability of the cabin depends on it, but also the safety of the person who washes in the shower.
Dishwasher front - what is it?
A dishwasher facade is a decorative panel that hides its body. It has not only an aesthetic, but also a practical purpose.
The advantages of such designs include:
- the ability to disguise equipment that does not fit the overall interior design;
- performing a protective function that allows you to protect the case from aggressive influences - high temperatures, humidity and greasy contaminants;
- the façade covers the control panel from small children who may press buttons out of curiosity;
- providing additional sound insulation.
Types of materials and decor of furniture facades for a dishwasher
Various materials are used to produce dishwasher fronts.
Basically it is MDF. Since it is he who is able to withstand temperature changes and high humidity that occur during operation of the equipment. In addition, they are safe and do not contain substances harmful to human health.
Natural wood is rarely used in the production of furniture for a built-in dishwasher, since it is a very expensive material that requires a high-quality top covering.
If you want to save money, you can purchase a facade made of chipboard - it will cost the least. But keep in mind that if the integrity of the protective layer is damaged, the product will quickly lose its shape. In addition, when heated, it will release toxic fumes.
It is advisable that the facade of the machine be made of the same material as the doors of other kitchen items.
To give the structure the desired color and texture, a decorative coating is used. Modern solutions make it possible to disguise a dishwasher in such a way that it will be impossible to understand that behind the façade there is hidden equipment and not an ordinary cabinet.
The facade for a built-in dishwasher can be finished with the following materials:
- enamel coating;
- plastic;
- glass;
- metal;
- veneer (thin layer of wood).
It is not recommended to use PVC film for gluing the facades of dishwashers - under the influence of heat and moisture it quickly peels off.
Glue instead of screws
In recent years, glass fittings have been developed that are secured using UV-curable adhesives. The planes of the part on which the glue is applied have a smooth, decoratively treated surface. The glue is transparent, so that when viewed through glass, the adhesive seam formed by it becomes invisible. Today, in this way, table legs, button handles, hinges, locks, latches, magnetic locks, shelf holders, etc. are attached to glass. At the same time (and also subject to careful adherence to the technology), the strength of the resulting connections even exceeds the corresponding parameter for attaching similar fittings to products made of wood materials using screws.
How to select and calculate the size of the façade for a built-in dishwasher
The dimensions of the facade for the dishwasher are selected according to the dimensions of the equipment.
The standard panel size is:
- width - 45 or 60 cm;
- height - 82 cm.
There are also more compact options with a height of 60 and even 50 cm. Please note that some manufacturers may “round off” the width of the equipment. For example, instead of 50.2 cm, simply indicate 50 cm. Therefore, before purchasing a cabinet with a front, be sure to measure the car yourself.
After all, if you purchase a facade of the wrong dimensions, it will no longer be possible to cut it or adjust it to the size of the equipment. If you try to do this, the integrity of the decorative coating of the panels will be compromised.
The height of the facade should be slightly larger than the car door. The thickness of the products ranges from 1.6 to 2 cm.
laminated chipboard
A good idea is to make slopes for the front door with your own hands from laminated chipboard.
The same material is used for furniture. It doesn’t even lie on a flat wall, and is not afraid of impacts or friction.
If there is constant humidity in the entrance, you can buy moisture-resistant laminated chipboard. It is not afraid of even direct contact with water, so even external slopes are treated with it.

Methods for attaching furniture fronts to a dishwasher
It is important not only to choose a front for a dishwasher, but also to install it correctly.
Depending on the installation method of the equipment itself, facades can be mounted by:
- full installation - in this case, the facade completely hides the body of the equipment;
- partial embedding - the door covers only the main part of the machine, and the control panel remains visible.
And according to the method of fastening, there are two methods of installing doors:
Curtain facades guarantee uniform load distribution between the doors of furniture and appliances. The only disadvantage of this solution is the complex arrangement of fastenings and the presence of a gap between the doors.
In the pantograph system, the facade is attached directly to the car door. The main advantage of this method is the absence of gaps between the doors - dirt and moisture cannot accumulate there. In addition, the pantograph does not require a complex synchronization structure, which is used in mounted products.
Stages of installing the facade on a built-in dishwasher
If the installation of equipment is a very complex process that is best entrusted to a specialist, then the installation of the facade can be carried out independently.
Before installing the front panel, the machine itself must be securely fixed by attaching it to the side walls and table top.
To fasten the panel, use the following tools and components:
- facade;
- table top;
- screwdriver;
- set of accessories;
- measuring tape.
The process itself consists of two stages:
- installation of the facade at the required height. For this purpose special screws are used. Next, you need to determine the distance from the attachment point to the edge of the dishwasher facade. To do this, use a tape measure to measure two indicators: the distance from the top mount to the countertop and the size of the gap between the countertop and the front of the other cabinet. Then subtract the second from the first parameter. According to the data received, you need to make notes. To do this, you can use a pencil or colored tape;
- installation of fasteners and accessories. First the handle is attached. To do this, a hole is drilled on the front side of the panel for the handle screw. If you drill from the back, a chip may form on the furniture, especially if the coating is enamel or acrylic. Next, according to the notes made, shallow holes for fastenings are drilled - about 3/4 of the panel thickness. You don't have to drill, but then the fastenings won't be as reliable.
At the end of installation, be sure to check how the door opens - it should not rest against the base.
Often, built-in models have special ready-made templates that make it easy and quick to attach the front to the dishwasher door. If you doubt your abilities, try first practicing on an unnecessary piece of MDF or chipboard.
Serious restrictions
Glass furniture has a very distinctive appearance, often creates a feeling of cold and does not fit into every interior. However, glass often becomes the most important element of the design, providing an overview of the contents of the cabinet or even transparency of the product. Another problem is the fragility of glass. Once upon a time, every city house had a janitor with a broom, and children played football in the courtyards, whose main fear was to hit someone’s window with the ball. Those times are forgotten, but the sound of broken glass is familiar to everyone. That is why, when anyone sees glass furniture, the thought arises that it can easily break, and its fragments are simply dangerous.
The need to connect blanks cut from glass to each other, in turn, led to the use of fittings similar to those used in furniture made from panel parts made of wood and wood materials. Glass can be drilled, shaped cuts can be made in it, but a screw cannot be driven into it, threads cannot be cut into holes in glass, blind grooves cannot be milled in it, etc. But tempered glass cannot be processed at all: it immediately breaks into fragments, so all impacts must be carried out before it is tempered.
Unlike many materials, glass parts adhere well to each other to form a strong connection. But the surface of the metal part glued to the glass must not only be smooth, but also processed with high quality, and the elements themselves must have an aesthetic appearance, which is unattainable, for example, when using various types of screeds. Fittings used in glass products must be particularly decorative due to the transparency of this material.
To create exclusive designs, in addition to standard chrome, gold and polished stainless steel, they often use fittings finished with an aging effect in bronze, brass and copper in a matte or glossy finish.
Photos of dishwashers with furniture fronts
In any case, a facade masking a dishwasher will help create the desired interior without the difficulty of selecting equipment of a certain design. In addition, it will protect equipment from aggressive factors and extend its service life.
