Such material as glass is the best alternative to ceramic tiles, as well as other materials that take as a basis aprons (sections of walls above kitchen working areas). Glass - this is the most environmentally friendly and hygienic material, it is resistant to moisture, does not absorb fat and dirt, it is easy to clean and has an incredibly attractive look. But how to choose the right apron in the kitchen of glass?
Skinali - kitchen aprons from glass
Many people mistakenly believe that aprons made of glass are completely useless and much more noticeable on them than on other surfaces. But in fact, the traces on the glass apron remain the same as on the other surfaces. And washing it is much easier, because the glass surfaces do not have inter-stitch joints, in which, more often than not, most of the dirt gets into it.
To ensure that the lines of operation of such an apron was long, the thickness of the glass should be at least six millimeters. A perfect option for the kitchen will be an apron of tempered glass. It is at times stronger than the ordinary, because even if it somehow you have to split or break it, the fragments will not be small and sharp. This glass will be reliable, safe and durable.
Ordinary glass is not so strong, and plexiglass aprons are absolutely not designed for rooms with constant and sharp changes in temperature and humidity. After such effects, the plexiglas starts to fade and can easily break at the slightest blows.
When choosing a glass for the kitchen apron, you should also take into account the fact that it will have to be discolored, because the material itself is originally greenish in color. If the skin has a color coating (landscape, still life, panorama), then the picture will not lose its clarity and brightness, but if the main color is white (or just a light color), then the green tint of the glass will spoil the picture.
Kitchen design - apron from glass
To date, there are a huge number of types of glass aprons. But the main and most popular, are four varieties: colorless glass, photo printing, painted glass and a picture on decorative vinyl film.
Colorless glass can be transparent or matte. Transparent apron does not strike the eye and performs the function of protecting the wallpaper on the wall from splashing. Of particular note is the frosted glass on the apron in the kitchen: it does not give glare, so it looks interesting enough in itself. And it is less visible any pollution.
Glass with photo printing is an apron on which an image is applied. Aprons with photo printing can also be: transparent, matt and tinted. They are very popular these days. Since the technique of drawing a drawing has its own specifics, the drawing is not afraid of moisture, does not burn out and can withstand very high temperatures (up to 120 degrees). A special atmosphere in the kitchen is created by panels with a 3D effect. However, the cost of such an apron is much higher than usual.
Painted glass is glass, painted in one color. Such aprons look quite stylish and unobtrusive, and the variety of the palette of colors of such glasses will allow you to choose the color that perfectly fits into the overall picture of the interior.
The most low-budget option for today is the apron with a pattern on the decorative vinyl film. Drawing on such a glass is applied from the inside, because in time it can wrinkle, peel off and lose color saturation, especially in cases where the work was not of high quality.
