What are the top considerations when it comes to choosing glazing for a space ?
When choosing to glaze , we always recommend considering the properties it could contribute to and your project design requirements . The solarcontrolled glass will be the best option if your home is south facing . If it is essential to keep the heat in , investment in triple glazing would be most successful . Could a self-cleaning option be more practical if you have significant glazing expenses ? If security is critical , then laminated glass should be used .
For this project , our client ' s key priority was to capture their property ' s unadulterated views . In this case , sliding doors or bifold doors would be an ideal addition . If our client ' s space is at a premium , we recommend the sliding door option with its enhanced functionality features . They glide along a parallel track requiring almost no room to be fully opened . Bifold doors take up more space when opened .
How old the property is – whether you are after a contemporary or a more traditional look . For traditional properties , our heritage range is classic ; this replicates the old ‘ steel look-a-like ’ windows and doors with slim frames and glazing bars . We can offer large-picture windows and tilt ’ n ’ turn windows with extensive design capabilities for more current and contemporary projects . A top-rated product for new projects now is our slimline sliding doors , with powers of huge opening sizes and very slim 20mm frames . A great attraction to these is also the ability to have a level threshold to create a seamless transition from inside to out .
New-build properties now also have to comply with new building regulations regarding thermal performance , ventilation and security . These can also have an impact on what glazing options are available to you . This is not a worry for the customer however as every member of our team is trained in the most up to date regulations to ensure your project is compliant .
What was your favourite part of this project and why ?
Our team loved this project ; it was such an exciting brief , and great to incorporate our design ideas . Making a positive impact on the character of the property , creating a strong visual contrast between the old barn-style home and the sleek modern design of the glass box extension . The sleek modern design of the glass box creates a strong visual contrast between the original building and the extension , but in a way that doesn ’ t negatively impact the home ’ s original qualities .
Our favourite part of any project is meeting with the customer after and seeing how the installation has transformed their home .
