Popular Glass Types for Modern Homes

You can pair tempered glass with different door styles, including sliding, swing, bifold and multi-panel designs.
When choosing glass, consider the door location, intended use and the appropriate glass specification for the installation.
2. Frosted Glass
Frosted glass allows natural light into a room while reducing clear visibility. It allows natural light into the room while maintaining a greater level of privacy.
You can consider frosted glass for bedrooms, bathrooms, study areas and other spaces that need additional privacy.
For an alternative approach, frosted stickers can add privacy to a suitable existing glass panel without replacing the entire panel.
3. Fluted Glass
Fluted glass features vertical lines that create a textured appearance and soften the view through the panel.
It offers a decorative alternative to plain clear glass and works well with modern, warm and premium interior styles.
Fluted glass also pairs well with slim aluminium frames when you want a clean and contemporary appearance.

Ghost sliding doors create a minimal appearance with a less visually prominent door structure.
They can suit homeowners who prefer a simple, contemporary look. The final appearance depends on the opening, glass selection, hardware and installation.

They can work well for larger living areas, balcony entrances and spaces where you want to open up the connection between two areas.
Wooden Door with Glass Panel
A wooden door with a glass panel combines the warmth of wood with the openness of glass.
The glass section can bring additional light into the space, while the wooden surface adds a warmer and more traditional element to the overall design.
Hollow Design Glass Door
Hollow design glass doors feature decorative open sections that create visual interest without relying on a completely plain panel.
This style can add character to modern interiors and works well when you want a more distinctive door design.
Glass Door Privacy Options
Clear glass provides maximum visibility, but some rooms need more privacy.
Frosted glass reduces visibility while allowing natural light to enter. Fluted glass can also soften the view through the panel while adding texture to the design.
For suitable glass panels, frosted stickers offer another way to increase privacy without replacing the entire glass panel.
Consider the room’s purpose before selecting the glass. Bedrooms, bathrooms and private areas usually require more privacy than living or dining spaces.
Think About Safety Before Choosing Your Door
Choose a glass door that suits the way people use the space every day.
Before installation, consider the door location, frequency of use, surrounding space and the needs of children or elderly family members.
Tempered glass and safety film are options you can discuss with your door supplier based on the installation requirements. The frame, fittings, hardware and installation method also need to match the selected door and glass.
For locations with specific building, fire or safety requirements, check the applicable Singapore requirements before installation.
