RENOVATION WORK- Part 9 Kitchen Glass Door 
Hey guys! Sorry for disappearing for a while and replying late. Renovation and furnishing is really very stressful! :help:

Remember the glass door for my kitchen that I mentioned in my first post? The initial idea is hack half wall and the kitchen will be partitioned from the dining area with black think frame of Aluminium fixed window and swing door.

In the end we hacked the whole hall to make the kitchen look more specious. But the problem is..... we will cook often! AND..... we already bought a fabric sofa. :bangwall:

So now, I wanted to stick to the original plan of having a glass door.  Everyone in the family has different opinions.
It's really a love hate situation! My husband loves the openness of the kitchen and against the idea of installing the glass door. But I hate to have the smell in the living room, especially on fabric sofa. Even my contractor said the kitchen will look ugly with the glass door! He suggested us to stay in the house for some time before we decide if we should install the glass door. It's really a dilemma. 

I started to research online on different types of glass door that suitable for our house. Omg! These black frame of glass door looks so pretty! :wub:

We asked my contractor if he can do this for us. He said that if we want to have this kind of thin black frame, it is made of metal instead of aluminium. Although it looks very sleek, the metal frame will turn rusty over time. It is heavier and more costly than aluminium door. But I really love how it looks!!!! :( 

After hearing his opinions, I started to look for aluminium black frame door design. This is the most ideal aluminium black frame what I have found and  I showed it my contractor.

My contractor said if I want to do a similar door like this. He can make 3 panels for the glass door. One panel is fixed and two panels are sliding. Seriously, I couldn't imagine how it looks. So I drew out the doors myself using my very lousy skill to get a better understanding of what he means.

Yeah, so this is how it will look like. However, the contractor warned me that the black frame door is made of aluminium door so it will not look so thin. I kept asking him if it's possible to make it thiner but he said the thickness will be about 2.5 to 3 inches. The thickness of the aluminium is essential to hold the glass. 

 

 

I'd stick to your design ideal and go with the metal frame. I did ALU doors myself - didn't know better - and yes the frames are thick and not as nice. I have a metal gate for outdoor and it doesn't rust. And even if it did it's just a simple paint job to cover it up.

totally understand your dilemma of design vs practical. i also faced this when preparing quotation.. open concept looks so nice and opens up the hse but when cook, the whole hse will smell even though have hood.. so we also decided to have a glass door.. bye bye open kitchen and bigger looking house sob.. can't wait to see the real thing installed in your hse so that i can visualise mine!

if heavy cooking then yes its not practical to have open concept hehehe
