2) What are the exact door dimensions in relation to the wall opening?
Sliding Doors:
Add 2" to width and 1" to height e.g. your wall opening is 30" x 80" so your door dimensions should be 32" x 81" for a perfect fit
Attention!
• For sliding doors with EURO V2000 Hardware the calculation is:
Add at least 2" inches or more to the width and 3" inch or more to height e.g. your wall opening is 30" x 80" inches so your door dimensions at least should be 32" x 83" inches or more for a perfect fit.
• For Sliding doors with Hidden / Invisible Hardware the calculation is:
Add at least 2" inches or more to the width and 4" inches or more to height e.g. your wall opening is 30" x 80" inches so your door dimensions at least should be 32" x 84" inches or more for a perfect fit.

Swing Doors:
You must order the same size as your door opening but we reduce 13/32“ in width and 13/32” in height for a perfect fit, for example, if your door opening is 36“ x 80” you must order 36“ x 80” but your door slab will be 35-19/32“ x 79-19/32”.

Important: Measurement Conversion and Customer Responsibility
All measurements in this guide are converted from millimeters to fractions of inches, as this is the system most commonly used in the United States. Due to this conversion, there may be minor discrepancies in the dimensions provided. Although these differences are generally less than one millimeter, it is important to keep in mind that the measurements provided here are not 100% accurate.
This guide is designed to help you determine the correct measurements for your door, but it is your responsibility to measure accurately to ensure you place the correct order. We manufacture doors to standard sizes, and in cases where door leaves require adjustments for a perfect fit, the necessary reductions are clearly explained in the product description.
For more information, please refer to Section 3 of our Terms of Service page.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
1) What does ordering a door include?
- Sliding system or door hinges
- Grip handle or handle bar (for sliding doors and swinging doors)
- Lock handle set or door lock (for hinged doors)
- Installation manual
Please note that some products are also offered without hardware! If a product does not contain any hardware, we will point this out clearly in the product description.
2) What kind of glass are the doors made of?
All our doors are made of toughened/tempered glass. Tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension. Such stresses cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards as plate glass (annealed glass) does. The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury.
3) What is the color of the glass that the doors are made of?
Our doors are normally made of float glass, the float glass is transparent and lets the light pass through without problems but if you look at it from the edge it has a greenish color, if you want white glass or another color like Arctic Blue or Green Blue you can order it under request with an additional cost.

7) What is sandblasted glass?
Sandblasted glass is produced by spraying sand at high velocities over the surface of the glass to diffuse transmitted light, reduce glare and give the glass a white, frosted appearance. During sandblasting, only the areas that are to remain transparent are masked for protection. The depth and degree of the translucency of the sandblasted finishing vary with the force and type of sand used.
8) Can you also sandblast my logo or personal design?
Yes, we can. For each door model we offer an item with a custom design or logo included in the price. You must send us your design with good quality so that we can put it on your door, you can request up to 5 modifications regarding the positioning of the design (not the modification of it), when you confirm that it is in the desired position we will start the preparations for the production. Please note that custom products cannot be exchanged, returned or canceled. However, we offer the option to cancel the order until we have started production of the door. In case of cancellation, you will receive a refund based on our Return and Cancellation policies.
