A glass barn door is more versatile than you might think. Our selection of sliding barn doors includes frosted glass barn doors, French-style glass barn doors, and full-panel mirrored barn doors to work in a variety of spaces. These doors are both beautiful and functional, allowing natural light to flow while still adding that high-style look to the space.

How to Use Glass Barn Doors

In your search for the perfect sliding barn doors for your home, you may not have considered everything that glass doors can do. These doors are more versatile than you might think, and look great in a variety of spaces, including:

1. Front Doors

A glass panel barn door creates the perfect entrance to your home. You can opt for a strong metal door for extra security, with glass panels that allow light to enter, creating a breezy, open feel in your entranceway.

Exterior barn doors with glass come in several styles to match your home's interior and exterior. You can also opt for a stained glass barn door or a barn door with frosted glass to add a little privacy to open entryways.

2. Patio Doors

A glass barn door or a set of sliding glass barn doors makes an excellent entry way for a patio. This type of door looks stunning with full glass panels that allow natural light to come into your home. They work especially well in spaces leading to fenced, private backyards without the need to add frosted glass for privacy. A sliding barn door for a patio is easy to open and close with barn door hardware track kits from Rustica.

3. Closet Doors

Add a touch of class to your closet entrance with a glass barn door (or two!). Rustica offers several styles of closet barn doors in a variety of materials, including metal and wood. You can also opt for a mirrored glass barn door to add a bit of function to closet doors.

4. Shower Doors

Adding a glass barn door to your walk-in shower is a great way to make your bathroom feel larger by allowing light to shine throughout. Plus, a glass shower barn door allows for a roomier entrance than traditional shower doors. Choose between regular glass or frosted glass, depending on your level of privacy needs. Rustica also offers several sliding door hardware kit options, allowing you to find a track look that complements your bathroom's style.

5. Kitchen or Dining Entrance

A glass barn door set can help separate larger spaces within the home. You might use glass barn doors as room dividers to separate the kitchen from the dining area, or to separate a formal living room from a family den. Dividing glass barn doors create a seamless transition between spaces, with the many design options to choose from, including reclaimed wood doors and French-style doors.

6. Wine Rooms

Wine rooms require several components to ensure that wine is stored at the proper temperature. A coated tempered glass barn door can give the strength necessary for security while keeping harmful UV rays away from wine bottles. In addition to being functional for a wine cellar, a glass door can also embellish the entry to match the upscale look of the room.

Consider the Chateaux Barn Door for a patio door panel or closet door. This door would also be perfect as a double barn door set to separate an office from a living space or a dining room from a kitchen.

The Chalet Barn Door makes a grand entrance door to a home by offering a mix of privacy and natural light.

6. French Quarter Barn Door

You can also customize the kick plate height, giving you a little more durability for the bottom of an exterior door. Add multiple glass panels for added privacy or just include a couple panes of glass running throughout the door for maximum natural light.

How to Choose the Best Glass Style for Your Sliding Door

The combination of glass and steel in our sliding doors is stunning! Although this look is aesthetically pleasing, customers can get hung up on trying to decide which glass style they want. Rustica has a few different styles to choose from. Each one providing unique benefits.

Clear glass is perfect for rooms where you do not mind a little less privacy. If you’re using your sliding french door to divide a kitchen or living room from the rest of the house, clear glass is a great option. If you do not want any passerby to see what is behind your glass barn door, choose our frosted glass. This still allows you to enjoy the benefit of more light coming in while maintaining your privacy. If frosted glass is not for you, but you still need a little privacy, consider some of our textured glass. Glass styles like fluted and deep freeze have enough texture to help keep things private.

Many customers choose to add the mirror glass style to their sliding doors, especially for closets. This adds some more functionality to your barn door. Not to mention, mirrors provide other benefits like creating the illusion that a room is larger and brighter.

A few fun textured options are the palm, crested and vintage. These glass styles do not provide a lot of privacy, but they add a little bit of design to your already beautiful sliding french door. Choosing a glass style with texture is a unique way to express your style.

Currently, Rustica has 14 different styles of glass to choose from. This provides customers with a way to create exactly what they are looking for. If you do not see the glass style you’re looking for or have more questions, give our service team a call. They would love to help in any way they can.

How to Maintain Glass Barn Doors

Whether you have a glass barn interior door or exterior door, you'll want to keep it in tip-top shape for many years to come. Maintaining glass doors takes a little more effort than wood doors, but it's worth the extra energy for the final look. The following tips will help you keep your glass barn doors looking beautiful for many years to come:

Cleaning Supplies for Glass Barn Doors

The good news is that you won't need a bunch of supplies to clean your glass barn doors. A bottle of glass cleaner spray and a microfiber towel will keep your door looking as good as new. We suggest steering clear of paper towels, as some of them can be a bit on the scratchy side. However, a microfiber cloth is super soft and won't damage your glass.

Alternatively, you can use glass cleaner and a squeegee if you have one. However, this method won't work well if you have small glass panes that can’t accommodate the size of the squeegee.

If your door has a metal frame and metal panes, you can use an all-purpose cleaner and a damp sponge to wipe down the metal parts. Then, dry them with a paper towel. For wood frames and panels, use a wood furniture polish and a microfiber towel. Don’t forget to wipe the wood in the direction of the grain!

How to Clean Glass Barn Doors

While there's no specific method you need to use to clean off your glass barn doors, we do recommend following these steps to prevent streaking:

Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to wipe down the glass, removing dust and lint.
Spray the glass cleaner on the glass panel from about two feet away. Cover the whole glass surface.
Use a second clean and dry microfiber cloth to buff out any smudges and dirt on the glass. Move the cloth in small circles over areas of dirt to remove them. Otherwise, you can move from side to side or up and down.
Now, take a third clean and dry microfiber cloth to wipe the entire glass panel. This will ensure the glass is completely dry, and prevent streaks from forming.

Removing Scratches on Barn Door Glass

No matter how much you try to avoid scratches taking over your glass barn door, they may still appear. Two quick and easy methods can help you rid the glass of scratches:
First, try clear nail polish. Add a thin layer of the polish to the scratch and allow it to dry completely for about one hour. Then, pour some nail polish remover onto a microfiber cloth and wipe the cloth over the scratch to remove excess polish.

Second, try the toothpaste method. Put a small amount of white toothpaste on a cloth and move it in small circles over the scratch, like you were buffing it. Do this for one full minute to polish out the scratch. Then, wipe the area with a clean cloth.

Add a Glass Barn Door to Maximize Lighting and Style

Adding a glass barn door to your home not only amps up the style, but it also allows light to flow through the space, creating a look that’s as functional as it is elegant.
