This has been a simple job, but it may include an interesting solution for some of you. The sliding doors for the library measure 200 cm (high) by 105 cm (wide). So the resulting cross-sections of the doors elements, needed for a solid constructión, were too massive to achieve the light aspect of japanese sliding doors. The solution has two parts: the main decision was to use laquered glass for the doors. This is a completely opaque glass, laquered in different colours. Using this kind of glass I got my hands free to “carve” overdimensioned spaces for the glass pieces and put it in the doors’ fronts fixed with thin wood lath. The result was 2 or 3 cm less in the seen cross-sections and a lighter aspect for the doors.
Este ha sido un proyecto sencillo, pero con una solución que puede resultarles de utilidad. Las puertas son correderas y miden 200 cm de alto por 105 cm de ancho. Las secciones necesarias para construir unas puertas sólidas eran demasiado gruesas para conseguir el aspecto de ligereza de las puertas japonesas. La solución tiene dos partes: primero decidimos utilizar un cristal opaco. Con este material pude colocar piezas de cristal más grandes de lo habitual y junto con unos verduguillos muy estrechos, el resultado fueron de 2 a 3 cm menos de sección visible en cada pieza de las puertas y, por lo tanto, un aspecto más ligero.
