Facade glazing

Advantages and disadvantages of glass facades

Glazing of building facades has a number of advantages:

• Maximum natural light, which reduces energy consumption.
• Energy efficiency. Modern glass provides heat and noise insulation.
• High strength and safety. Tempered glass is used in production.
• A spectacular look. Such facades accentuate the modern style.
• Easy maintenance and durability. The materials retain their transparency for many years.

There are also conditional disadvantages. Glass walls require proper maintenance and competent design. If you use a low-quality profile or save money on the frame, the structure ceases to be safe. But when working with a reliable and trusted manufacturer like Splenko, these risks are completely eliminated.

What are the types of glass facades?

Modern technologies for the production of facade glazing allow you to choose different types of structures depending on the task and architecture of the building. Each option has its own characteristics and areas of application, so the right choice plays a key role in the final result.

• Post-and-transom facades. This is a classic solution where the supporting frame is made of a durable aluminium profile. Such systems are universal. They are suitable for shopping malls, office buildings and residential properties. The main advantage of this option is reliability, ease of maintenance and relatively affordable cost with an amazing appearance.
• Spider facades. This is a symbol of minimalism. Metal elements are almost invisible here, with only a transparent glass volume remaining. This format is chosen for buildings where it is important to emphasise the lightness of architecture, from galleries and museums to luxury boutiques. They allow the façade to be opened up to the maximum extent possible for light and viewing.
• All-glass structures are the most spectacular. Visually, they look like a single monolith of glass, without the usual frames and joints. The frameless version is suitable for prestigious office centres, hotels or business class residential complexes.
• Panoramic facades are ideal where the external effect is important. Buildings with glass facades look very impressive. Thanks to this format, the interior literally merges with the environment, and residents and visitors get maximum visual comfort.

Each solution requires an accurate calculation and a competent selection of technologies. Our experts help you choose the best option from classic to ultra-modern formats to make the facade not only beautiful but also functional.

For which objects is facade glazing suitable

Glass building facades are a versatile solution that is equally popular in residential and commercial projects. They create a vivid image of an object, increase its value, and make its operation comfortable. It is important that the facade works in a different way on each type of object, performing different functions.

• A shopping centre or store. Here, the façade plays the role of a showcase that is open 24/7. Large glass areas attract attention, create the effect of open space and allow customers to see the assortment before entering. Bright lighting combined with glass turns the facade into a powerful marketing tool.
• An office building. First impressions are important for business. Modern glazing creates the image of a successful company that cares about its employees and customers. It is more convenient to work inside. Plenty of natural light reduces fatigue and increases productivity.
• A residential complex or a cottage. Increasingly, customers are choosing to glaze the facade of their homes to emphasise the architecture and add maximum light. Buildings with glass facades look modern and prestigious. At the same time, energy-saving technologies help to keep the heat in and reduce heating costs.
• Restaurant or cafe. The atmosphere in such establishments largely depends on the interior. Panoramic glazing blurs the boundaries between the interior and the street. Guests can admire the view while sitting at a table, and the owner gains a competitive advantage, as the establishment becomes noticeable and attractive.
• Bank or business centre. In this area, reliability and status are valued. Strict lines of the glass facade combined with metal emphasise solidity, while the well-thought-out design protects against noise and temperature changes.
• A loggia or balcony in a residential building. Here, glazing helps to turn additional space into a cosy relaxation area. Translucent structures make the loggia warm, protected from precipitation and wind, and at the same time visually light.
• Rooftop cafes or greenhouses. Glass facades play a key role in open-plan projects with green areas. They create a feeling of merging with nature, providing protection from the weather.

As you can see, glass facades are a real tool that helps architects, developers and building owners achieve specific goals, such as attracting customers, raising their status, improving comfort and emphasising the unique style of a building.
