GRIDDED GLAZING

-

Zophia Amey, director at Minnie & Grouse Interiors (minnieandg­rouse.com), shares her top tips

1 IT TRANSFORMS THE SPACE This type of glazing adds character and a whole new dimension without compromisi­ng on light or space. Doors like this add a touch of wow factor.

2 IT MAXIMISES LIGHTFLOW Gridded glazing can be used for internal partitions as well as for exterior doors. Glass dividers allow the light to flow right through.

3 IT CAN ADAPT TO YOUR STYLE Johnny and Jo chose hardwood frames for their doors, but you can use metal if you want to go for the industrial style. You can alter the width of the gridding, too – thinner grids create a sleeker look, while wider glazing bars give an industrial aesthetic.

4 IT CAN BE PAINTED Timber gridded glazing offers an economical alternativ­e to metal and can be spray painted any colour. Johnny and Jo used RAL colour 7021.

5 IT CAN BE SPACE SAVING If you are tight on space for external doors to open in- or outwards, sliding doors that glide along a track offer a smart space-saving solution.
