Facade glazing
Today, facade glazing, which is no longer a rarity in shopping and office centers, is becoming popular in the construction of modern residential buildings and even cottages.
Facade glazing — is an effective way of finishing building facades. When constructing glass facades, a combination of glass with wood, plastic, metal, concrete is used. Facade glass can be transparent, colored or with a colored enamel coating, flat or curved, as well as energy-saving, heat-reflecting, laminated, fire-resistant, noise-proof, changing transparency... In a word, various types and a large color range of glass elements turn houses with glass facades into a real work of art.
Facade glazing is increasingly used not only in the construction of new facilities, but also in the reconstruction of existing ones. During reconstruction or modernization, facade glazing provides an opportunity to improve the appearance of the building without major repairs inside the premises.
Aluminum frame
Traditionally, facade glazing is carried out by constructing an aluminum frame and filling it with impact-resistant glass. Facade glazing of this type has good heat and sound insulation characteristics and is not subject to combustion.
In this case, they use a durable, lightweight, corrosion-resistant and maintenance-free aluminum profile. In addition, aluminum structures are distinguished by the precision and reliability of assembly.
The aluminum frame combined with specially treated glass creates a transparent facade that is resistant to atmospheric precipitation.
Facade glazing are classified into:
- mullion-transom
- structural
- semi-structural
- spider (frameless).
For facade glazing of cottages, so-called anti-vandal glass is used, resistant to impacts, mechanical damage or burglary. They combine safety and aesthetic appearance. It is also possible to install energy-saving glazing, where glass is used that effectively retains heat in the premises.
To be sure of the quality and durability of your transparent facade, glazing work must be carried out by qualified and experienced craftsmen.
