Everyone wants to have in his house a beautiful and stylish kitchen, and, most importantly, non-standard. Of course, you can achieve this in different ways, for example, to install furniture on an individual order, or fantasize with the original floor covering for the kitchen, but there is another, very promising option - skinned, or an apron of glass . The apron refers to that part of the wall that covers the wall from the hanging cupboards to the countertop, and prevents water, steam or grease from entering the wall itself. Since it is the apron that is most exposed to pollution, it is often it should be periodically cleaned by various means.
Pasting an apron with wallpaper or painting is already a rather outdated option. Still the most used method is still tiles or PVC panels. But the most modern fashionable material was apron-skinned for the kitchen.

Technical details of the skin
The glass apron for the kitchen is made of tempered glass, since such a material is many times stronger than ordinary glass, and besides, if damaged, it crumbles into small crumbs, which is safe.
Before installing the panel special preparatory work with the wall surface is not required, the main thing is that the wall was flat, without bulges. Sometimes it is enough to simply wall the plaster.
For fastening the glass case, two methods are used: hinged and pass-through fasteners. Pass-through fasteners are most common, but have some drawbacks. In this case, over the surface of the glass protrude the heads of screws, which reduces aesthetics, and also makes it difficult to clean. A hinged fasteners excludes these drawbacks, since the entire fastening part is covered with a plinth.
The glass apron is installed after the complete set of furniture for the kitchen, and since the skins are made of tempered glass, its processing after installation is not possible, so the skins are attached to the prepared kitchen.
