Stained glass inserts in an apartment with children: is there a danger?

A stained-glass window is a mosaic composed of pieces of colored glass. With the help of a stained-glass window, you can give a unique look to ordinary doors or furniture. Stained glass inserts can also be on windows, ceilings, lamps and other interior items. Nowadays, the ancient art of stained glass is back in fashion. Stained glass inserts have been used before, but the glass was quite fragile. Inaccurate handling of it was highly likely to be injured by small fragments.

Now stained glass inserts are combined with different materials: wood, plastic, MDF, metal, mirror or glass. They are made not only flat, but also bent and spherical. Most often, doors with stained glass inserts are used.

Many people want to install such doors in an apartment. But what if there are small children in the house? Parents are primarily concerned about the safety of the baby. Can a child accidentally or deliberately break a stained-glass window and thus injure himself? This question worries parents first.

Modern production of stained-glass windows allows you to give them greater strength. Some manufacturers enclose the stained glass window itself in two layers of glass with a lining at the edges. Or use the special hardening technique. Manufacturers claim that such stained-glass windows are completely safe. It will not work to break it with your hands; you need to make considerable efforts. Worse if the baby finds a hammer. But even if the stained glass window breaks, it will simply crumble.

In this regard, a door or a window with ordinary glass is much more dangerous, since the fragments from it are sharper and it is very easy to cut them. Of course, a small child should be monitored very carefully. And for children who are already behaving meaningfully, clearly explain the safety rules in the apartment. This applies not only to stained-glass windows, but also to sockets, gas stoves, water taps.

Children also like to paint on walls and windows, scratch objects, stain them with food and dirty hands. You should not worry about this either. New technologies give stained-glass windows resistance to any impact. They are easy to wash and clean.

Today, many with the help of stained glass inserts strive to make the children's room a unique fairy tale corner. Stained-glass windows can be placed not only on windows, doors and cabinets. And to make, for example, a luminous stained glass ceiling with beautiful butterflies or stars in the night sky. Stained glass niches can depict the entrance to a fairytale castle or Aladdin's cave.

The use of such stained-glass windows will be safe and create a unique atmosphere of a fairy tale. You just need to choose trusted manufacturers who strictly adhere to the technology for producing stained-glass windows and guarantee the quality of products.
