Entrance doors with glass and security

All because the production of external doors with glass uses tempered and laminated glass, which is resistant to mechanical damage, and additionally – to temperature changes.
The secret of the durability of external doors with glass is the construction of glazing units, which are the core of the glass in the door. These glazing units consist of at least two layers of glass. This makes them a solid barrier against unwanted guests. The protective barrier of the glass is often additionally reinforced, all thanks to filling the space between the individual layers of glass with argon. This action also positively affects the strength of the door.

Even when the glass is broken, the individual pieces of glass will still be bound together, which in turn will make it much more difficult, and often even impossible, to open the door.
