Unfortunately, glass is also a lot more delicate than other materials and has a high risk of breaking. When it comes to protecting glass, some of the risk factors may not be as obvious as you might think.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Recessed Entrances<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If the entrance to your building is recessed, your glass doors may push against the outer wall when open. There are design solutions to get around this that you may consider. One involves putting a buffer to stop the door from going beyond a certain point. You may also design the space so that the door swings inward. Automated glass doors are also a great option to diminish this risk.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tall Objects Nearby<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a tall object close to glass doors, one day, that tall object may tip over. If it falls onto the glass door, it may crack or break it. Common items that fall into this category include large plant holders, small trees, and art displays. Many of these items do look best when set close to the glass, so do a measuring test to ensure that, in the worst-case scenario, the object does not fall onto the glass.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Narrow Doorways<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, you may have no choice but to move specific items in through the front door. This may range from cranes to large furniture. If you have narrow entrances, workers may need to push the door all the way open and the objects entering the space may collide with the glass. This may lead to anything from scratches to breakage. If you have narrow doorways, consider creating a safer route for these occasions, such as building a loading dock or a freight elevator.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the best preparations, accidents do happen.
