What are the differences between glass door hinges?

Glass door hinges can be assigned to several categories in terms of their application, design, and functionality. There are four main differences:

• Type of mounting: There are surface-mounted hinges that are attached to the door itself or the door frame, and concealed hinges that are almost invisible because they are embedded in the door and the door frame.
• Type of glass: Some glass door hinges are specifically designed for tempered glass, while others are suitable for laminated or non-tempered glass. The choice depends on the type of glass used for the door.
• Load capacity: Glass door hinges vary in their load capacity. Heavy glass doors require more robust hinges that can support the additional weight, while lighter doors need less robust hinges.
• Design options: Especially for indoor use, glass door hinges are available in various designs and finishes - from minimalist to elaborate designs. This allows for a customized match to the room’s furnishings and architecture.

It is important to choose glass door hinges based on the specific requirements of your door. Consider the load, the type of glass, and the desired aesthetic effect to make the best decision.
