A flat bar and a T-bar are two commonly used methods for dividing an aluminium glass door into multiple panes. They give the glass and the door a specific look and largely determine the style of the door.

What is a flat rod?

Flat glazing bars give doors and walls a modern and minimalist look. Because the glazing bar is only 30 millimetres narrow and flat, the glass is hardly interrupted and continues to let in plenty of light. This makes it a good choice for anyone who wants clean lines without the glazing bars making the space feel too modern. Flat glazing bars are particularly effective in sleek, modern interiors.

What is a T-rod?

A T-bar gives a door just that little bit more of a robust look, because it divides the glass into panes. Such a bar is the same as a flat bar, but has a raised edge, which makes it a T-bar.

This type of glazing bar gives your door or wall more depth, while still allowing plenty of light to pass through the glass. T-bars are useful if you want to further emphasise the layout of the glass. They give the door more character and can also create a somewhat more classical look.

Stylish differences in the interior

Both glazing bars have a lot of influence on how a door complements the room. A flat bar blends in nicely with the whole. That is ideal for a modern interior where simplicity is key.

A T-bar accentuates the division of panels more strongly, making the interplay of lines more prominent. This gives the door a more powerful appearance that suits a classic or robust interior well.

Which curtain rod suits your interior?

The choice between a flat rod and a T-rod depends heavily on your interior style. Are you going for a calm and modern look? Then a flat rod suits you better.

Would you prefer the panel division to be more prominent and add a bit more character? Then a T-bar is often the best option.
