Madras range of doors

A choice of finishes to personalize doors is fundamentally important for achieving a balanced aesthetic effect in any work or home ambience. With its creative and functional characteristics, glass is a key resource in this area of choice: lightness, luminosity and transformability are just three of the many properties of this innovative material. The Madras range, the fruit of Vitrealspecchi's experience in the acid etching of flat glass, produces extraordinary "textured" effects to enhance the qualities of glass, which has always been considered an ideal material for doors. Deeply or lightly etched, or simply satin-finished, or again, transparent with glinting reflections, the excellence of the etching process enriches the over 30 "textures" in the catalogue with effects that can be appreciated by touch and which are naturally enhanced by light. Suitable for strengthening and laminating, all these Madras products fully comply with safety standards. The wide range of thicknesses available means the products can be used in any type of application in this field (glass panel doors, all-glass doors, partition walls, outdoor glazings). Hardly surprising then that many of the most authoritative brands in Italy and the rest of Europe have been choosing Madras glass for years as a prestige component in their collections.
