For the equipment of interior partitions, products with single glass, as well as single-chamber or two-chamber double-glazed windows are used.The latter option is used in areas where higher levels of sound insulation are required. Glass in interior doors can be both rectangular and fancy shapes.

Interior doors with glass are swing and sliding. Recently, for the equipment of the entrance to the rooms, sliding structures, which do not require additional space for opening, are increasingly being used, and in the closed state they almost merge with the wall.

• Street doors are most often used in our weather conditions with double-glazed windows. This design perfectly protects against the penetration of cold into the room, but does not protect against the entry into the room of strangers, so these doors are equipped with additional grilles inside the structure.

Also for the equipment of entrance doors use a double-glazed window like triplex. This design consists of three glass sheets, glued together in one with a certain film. This design is more well withstands shocks, in addition, mounted on the door so that it can not be hooked and pulled out.
