What are arched rods?
Turned rods are rods that are placed in an arch shape in a door or wall. The basic shape consists of vertical and horizontal rods that turn into an arch at the top, giving the glass surface a more playful distribution and adding character to the door. This gives a classic and elegant look.
The arched rods are placed on the door wherever you want. The rods are glued to the glass, so the glass in the door remains 1 glass pane. This is also the case when you choose straight bars or uprights. We always work with a full glass pane in the door.
Application in aluminium doors
Arched rods are incorporated into the aluminium construction of a door or wall in such a way as to create a sleek result. The aluminium provides the strength needed to keep the arch shape tight and stable, without making the construction too bulky.
The rods are glued into the profile to form a single unit with the frame. This keeps the lines and the arch nicely in proportion.
The advantages of doors with arched rods
Twisted rods instantly add character to a door or wall. The rounded lines soften the modern aluminium profile, allowing you to aluminium doors take on a soft look. The round shapes of arched rods are really a trend of today. You see it a lot these days in sofas, kitchens and aluminium walls, for example. This is also because there is more light.
Because the rods are always made to measure, the door with arched rods will fit in well with your interior.
Customisation options
For doors with arched rods, you choose how the arch and the other rods look. You decide how they are distributed over the glass. The finish also matches your interior completely.
You choose the colour, handle and the kind or type of glass. Here you can choose from all RAL colours. This way, you can match the door exactly to the style of your home or workspace. Because each door is custom-made, you can be sure that the proportions are right and that the door will fit perfectly in your space.
The combination with glass
Curved rods are glued to the glass, allowing all types of glass to be combined with curved rods. The rods are cut to size from an aluminium plate.
Clear glass emphasises the shape and makes the rods stand out clearly, while frosted glass or smoked glass precisely creates a more subtle effect, with the round rods standing out less. Thanks to Aluwdoors's custom work, the glass and the rods together form a matching whole.
