Glass Door Knob Sets For Modern Homes

           Installing new doorknob sets in your home is a great way to update the look of any room without needing to redecorate or renovate the entire space. Glass doorknob sets come in a variety of styles and finishes so it is relatively easy to match your existing door hardware (such as hinges) with your new door knobs. Whether you are replacing existing sets or installing on new doors, glass doorknobs add a touch of elegance and beauty to any decorating style.

            Doorknobs serve as a focal point of design not only because they are a prominent feature but also because they are one of the most frequently used items in the home. Choosing a high quality and beautiful door knob is important to ensure durability over time. When comparing doorknob sets, make sure to check for the materials used for construction, solid brass is best for strength and resistance to wear and tear over time. Brass also offers a wider selection of finishes including Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome and Oil Rubbed Bronze. The glass knob is available in several patterns as well such as fluted glass, pumpkin, octagonal, circular and oval.

             Installation is a simple process but there are a few measurements that are important to know before making your choice. Standard backsets are available in two sizes: 2 3/8 inches and 2 ¾ inches. Most interior doors use a 2 3/8 inch backset and exterior doors2 ¾ inch. A backset is measured from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole. Also check the thickness of your door because this can vary between manufacturers although most standard doors measure between 1 ½ inches to 1 ¾ inches. If you have a thinner door the rosette screws may need to be trimmed to accommodate it. Consult with a contractor or an interior design expert if you have questions regarding the installation of new knobs on older and new doors if you are unsure.

            Glass door knob sets are a wonderful way to bring new vibrancy to any room and can be coordinated with other glass hardware such as cabinet knobs, curtain tie backs and coat hooks. LookInTheAttic & Company offers a wide selection and offers free design assistance and help. Remember that glass door knob sets fit well in vintage and modern homes and can provide a simple way of updating worn doors.
