How To Use Bevel Glass Door Inserts?
BilljustBill
| Posted in General Discussion on
I’ve found a cache of Stanley triple glazed entry door inserts and side panels being sold for pennies on the dollar. They look like they are New, but old stock. They are about 10″ wide and from 36″-71″ long; Oval shaped, Arched tops, or square ends. The 2″ wide molding is a paintable plastic with screws used to hold the assembly in the opening.
The outer layers are tempered glass with brass came’ supporting etched or curved and beveled glass in the center layer and factory sealed with a thick black rubber.
How would you use these in places and projects around your home?
Thanks for experience and brainstorming ideas, Bill

Any ideas?... They're just too beautiful not to be used for other things.

I see a bookcase with horizontal wood and glass doors that go across each shelf. The doors swing up. I see the plastic molding disappearing, and perhaps the triple-glazed unit disassembled to get at the center beveled glass. Cabinet doors in the kitchen, and entertainment unit doors.
I also see the back-yard shed getting a really nice window or two--depending on how many pennies per how many dollars.
I see the coolest snowboard shredding the slopes...a glass bottom boat...a room divider, water skis. An ant-farm mansion. A cool coffee table. Nifty bedroom doors with gauze curtains on the inside for privacy. Back-lit beveled-glass stair risers. A back-lit beveled glass wall display shelf (glass perpendicular to shelf). A wall display... a humongous mobile, a horizontal planter with glass behind, a cool railing around the deck. Fancy fluorescent light covers for the shop. A woody station wagon with beveled glass side windows in the back. A four-sided column lamp on the stair landing.
Perhaps you could post a few pictures of the units to stimulate ideas. How thick are the units, how much do they weigh, can you easily disassemble the units?
