Kitchen apron, made of photo-glass – modern and practical solution for kitchen design
Glass is environmentally friendly, quite strong material, and it is just indispensable in the kitchen wearing an apron because of its hygienic properties.
Glass kitchen apron is made of hardened glass, with a minimum thickness of 6 mm. Such glass, first of all, stronger than usual «raw» glass, and secondly, it is much safer because it does not form sharp edges when broken – it crumbles into small crumbs. However, hardening of glass dictates the conditions – it can not be subjected to processing, which means that all the necessary holes (for rails, sockets, ventilation hoods) must be performed before hardening. That is why the measurement of the kitchen apron must be performed by specialists on installation – because once glass will be brought to set them nothing can be done – they should ideally fit.
Another frequently asked question – is it possible to use glass next to the hob? Yes, it is possible, but you should pay attention to the necessity of using hardened glass, as well as fasteners, which will compensate the thermal expansion of the glass panel caused by heat. Kitchen apron made of glass panels is usually installed after the installation of kitchen furniture set. It’s better to perform all the exact measurements after the installation of kitchen furniture set, because all the pitfalls become visible. All of them must be considered when making an apron in order to reduce the risk of damage to the panels which can be done during installation.
