How to choose the right glazing

When choosing glazing for windows, doors, conservatories and other applications, more and more customers are opting for modern insulating glass, which offers a lot of advantages to residential and commercial buildings alike. Whether you're building a new house, renovating an older building, or just looking for ways to reduce your energy bills, properly selected glazing can make a world of difference to the comfort and efficiency of your space.

How to select glazing for your windows and doors?

Apart from its basic function as the thermal insulation, IGUs also offer other advantages that increase the comfort and safety of your home. Before making the right choice for your existing building or your future project, it is good to answer a series of relevant questions: How is the building oriented? What are my shading options (surrounding buildings, full grown trees, front roof, external blinds, etc.)? How large is the available or planned glazed surface? Is there any external source of noise nearby (e.g. an air corridor, a busy road or train line, loud machinery, etc.) that could interfere with the acoustic comfort inside the building? What are my safety needs (health and property protection) and many other questions that will help refine and define the parameters of your perfect glazing. And just as you dress for the occasion, you can also glaze your windows and doors for different needs. A window to a noisy neighbour on the north side of the house can have a different composition, just like a large glazing in the terrace that is bathed in sun all afternoons will require different properties to protect the adjacent room from overheating. Individual performance features can be combined, and one need not exclude the other.

Patio roofs and winter gardens (conservatories) are a popular way to expand your living space and get closer to nature. But it is crucial to have the correct type of glazing there, as it significantly affects the comfort, functionality and usability of these spaces.

Having the right type of glazing for a particular structure will guarantee comfort, lifetime and efficient use of the space.
