Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / Glass doors
German term or phrase: Beschlagtechnik
An excerpt from a catalogue for doors describing a technique for coating glass doors with laminate:

"Wir gehen immer neue Wege, um Ihnen das Besondere
bieten zu können. Zum Beispiel eine beschichtete
Laminat-Glastür, die wir mit der Beschlagstechnik aus
dem Glasbereich verbinden. So entsteht eine elegante
Tür, die wahlweise in stainless steel-, Holzoptik oder in
Unifarben zu haben ist."

Thanks in advance

Thanks Colette, you could have added at the outset that you were absolutely sure re. the door coating. What about "tarnishing", then?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for the input, though the excerpt is definitely describing the door coating as opposed to the fittings.

Asker: Hi Steffen, I just assumed that the context was clear from the text, but now that I read the excerpt again I can see that the blurb could also describe a coated door which combines the fittings from otherglass doors. Confusing indeed. Yes, a case of 2asking the customer". Thanks again!
