Glazing:
We specialize in creating impressive building exteriors, and a key element is glazing.
Glazing involves the installation of glass panels, contributing to the aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency of a structure. Our process begins with a thorough assessment, followed by strategic planning to optimize the placement and design of glass elements.
We prioritize high-quality glazing materials for durability and visual impact.
Our skilled team ensures precise glazing installation, meeting industry standards and emphasizing both aesthetics and functionality.
Float Glass:
Description: Standard clear glass with a smooth surface.
Properties: Offers clarity and transparency, commonly used for a basic, clean look.
Low-E Glass (Low Emissivity):
Description: Coated with a microscopically thin layer of metal oxide to reflect infrared light.
Properties: Enhances energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer, making it ideal for climates with extreme temperatures.
Tinted Glass:
Description: Contains additives for color, reducing glare and heat absorption.
Properties: Enhances privacy, reduces solar heat gain, and adds a touch of aesthetic variation.
Reflective Glass:
Description: Coated with a reflective layer to mirror external views.
Properties: Provides privacy during the day, reduces solar radiation, and adds a contemporary look to the facade.
Laminated Glass:
Description: Consists of two or more layers of glass with an interlayer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB).
Properties: Enhances safety by holding shattered glass together, provides sound insulation, and offers UV protection.
Insulated Glass Units (IGUs):
Description: Consists of multiple panes separated by a spacer, with a sealed air or gas-filled gap in between.
Properties: Improves thermal performance, reduces condensation, and enhances energy efficiency.
Fritted Glass:
Description: Coated with ceramic frit patterns for shading and aesthetics.
Properties: Offers design flexibility, controls light transmission, and adds a decorative element to the facade.
Switchable Glass (Smart Glass):
Description: Can change its appearance from transparent to opaque with the application of an electric current.
Properties: Provides dynamic control over privacy and light transmission, offering a modern and adaptable solution.
Acrylic Glass (Polymethyl Methacrylate or PMMA):
Description: Transparent plastic often used as a lightweight alternative to traditional glass.
Properties: Offers high impact resistance, excellent optical clarity, and is suitable for curved or complex facade designs.
Ceramic Glass:
Description: Infused with ceramic frits or printed patterns for design purposes.
Properties: Combines the aesthetic appeal of ceramics with the transparency of glass, allowing for creative and customized designs.
The choice of glazing material depends on various factors, including the project’s architectural design, climate considerations, energy efficiency goals, and desired aesthetics. As facade engineers, we guide our clients in selecting the most suitable materials to achieve the optimal balance of functionality and visual appeal for their specific project.
