I've taken out a chimney breast, ground floor only, had steels made
and installed to support the existing load and have rebuilt a false
chimney breast (out of studwork) around the steels to house a 50"
plasma, a base unit for A/V components and a long alcove shelf above
(to house DVDs).

I want to cover the DVD alcove with a long single pane of smoked glass
(approx 1240mm wide by 250mm high), that hinges either up of down,
with a dampened opening and closing motion, i.e controlled like a door-
closer. The pane of glass would need to be larger than the alcove
opening, forming an "overlay" door (I think that's what its called).

On the base unit I want to install 2 smoked glass doors (approx 620mm
wide by 500mm high) and these would be hinged left and right, also as
an overlay set up.

The basis of this is that I would like to not see the hinges and have
the doors bigger than the openings so that I can match the overall
width of the doors at the top with those at the bottom.

Can anyone advise me as to what type of hinges I would need and a
supplier you might have used yourselves?

Many thanks,
Dean.
