Indoor frameless doors focus on aesthetics and privacy.
Outdoor doors require weather-resistant and durable glass.
When designing curtain walls—those non-structural exterior building walls typically made up of glass and metal—the type of glass used plays a critical role in both aesthetics and performance. Several types of glass are suitable for curtain wall systems, each chosen for specific properties like strength, insulation, energy efficiency, and visual appeal. Here's a rundown of the most common types of glass used and the reasons they are chosen:
High Strength: Resistant to impact and heavy use, making it ideal for door applications. Safety: If broken, it shatters into small, blunt fragments, minimizing the risk of injury. Durability: Withstands daily wear and tear, temperature fluctuations, and minor impacts. Aesthetic Appeal: Offers a sleek and transparent look, perfect for frameless designs. | Privacy: Provides opacity while still allowing light to pass through. Aesthetic Customization: Adds a modern, stylish look to spaces. Durability: Can be tempered or laminated for strength and safety. Applications: Ideal for bathrooms, offices, or partitions. |
Solar Control: Reduces heat and glare, improving comfort. Privacy: Provides a degree of opacity while maintaining a stylish appearance. Aesthetic Variety: Available in a range of colors to complement interior or exterior designs. Applications: Often used in residential and commercial spaces with high sunlight exposure. | Enhanced Clarity: Provides a crystal-clear appearance, ideal for spaces where transparency is a priority. Aesthetic Excellence: Perfect for luxury residential or commercial spaces. Light Transmission: Maximizes natural light, enhancing brightness in rooms. Applications: High-end residential or commercial frameless doors. |
