Glass doors must be one of the most widely adopted architectural features in new builds and renovations, ensures a bold and unique interior design. Determining the specifications is important to ensuring the performance and the safety of the door. In this article, VICKINI will give you instructions to measure a glass hinged door with 2 wings.

Determine exactly the width and height of glass panels will ensure the accuracy in glass door installation. Installing a hinged glass door always requires a gap between 2 glass panels. We have parameters: 

-    x = gap between a glass door with fixed side glass panel or above glass panel (most popular from 3 to 4 mm)
-    y = gap between glass door and floor (most popular from 7 to 10 mm)
-    z = gap between 2 glass doors (most popular from 3 to 5 mm) 
-    t = gap between fixed side glass panel and wall (most popular from 3 to 7 mm)

The formula for calculating the standard tempered glass cutting dimensions for fixed glass walls, front panels and glass doors are as follows:

1.    Moving glass size: 
The size of the door will depend on the needs and desires of the owner. From there, we can calculate the tempered glass ruler to be cut by subtracting the minimum clearance.
-    The width of a moving glass = overall width of the door E/2 – (2x+z)
-    The height of a moving glass: = overall height of the door D – (x + y)

2.    Top panel size: 
-    Top panel width = overall width of the door E – 2x
-    Top panel height = overall height of door set B – overall height of the door D – t

3.    Fixed glass size: 
-    Fixed glass width = (overall width of door set A – overall width of the door E – 2t)/2 
-    Fixed glass width = overall height of door set B – 2t

With this formula, you can easily calculate the glass size to be cut to install the door with the most accurate parameters. VICKINI is always ready to advise on technical details and accessories suitable for your glass doors. Contact VICKINI for detailed advice.
