Aesthetics Meets Performance
The window-to-wall ratio keeps growing in both residential and commercial projects, and with good reason. Abundant natural light, access to fresh air, and more expansive views of nature and the outdoors positively impact the health and happiness of the people who enjoy the space.
Designing glass walls that open up to allow a blending of indoor and outdoor spaces can be a challenge. Between client preferences for size, operation, and color and local and national building codes that grow more stringent over time, your designs must balance a variety of demands even as they express your creative vision.
Fortunately, you have more options and more flexibility than you may think. Here are four products that can help you create moveable glass walls that match your designs, deliver the scale and aesthetics your clients want, and hold up to the performance standards your projects require. Backed by a team of experts ready to help you choose the right system for the application and location.
