Flat Glass Products for the Construction Sector

Glass strongly influences modern architectural design. The creative use of large windows, glass doors, rooflights, and atria, among many other applications, makes buildings and houses bright, airy, inviting and energy-efficient.

Uses & Applications

The main uses of glass in buildings and houses are, of course, the most obvious and visible ones: façades and windows. Today's glass products for commercial and residential buildings and for dwelling houses represent highly evolved technologies, nothing like the simple window panes of the past. Light, comfort, wellbeing, style, safety and security, and sustainability are among the benefits of today's high-performing windows and glass building façades. The ability to control heat, light, and sound transmission to a high degree enable architects to design buildings for a greatly reduced impact on the environment and dwellings that are quiet, comfortable and safe. Glass also finds application in interior decoration and furniture.

Glass in Residential Houses

Glass proves to be a very attractive and modern alternative to other building materials, such as brick, polycarbonate, or wood. The more glass is used, the more natural light enters the home. This makes the home even more pleasant and comfortable, and, with today's high-tech glass options, this can come at no cost to security, safety, or environmental sustainanbility.

Glass in Commercial Buildings

Today's glass technologies allow large commercial buildings to be energy efficient structures that make the most out of natural daylight while protecting the environment and the climate and conserving energy.

Interior Design

Glass offers dynamic interior design solutions that can maximise the impression of light and space, and add colour and movement to a room. The high strength made possible by modern glass technology extend the range of applications of this attractive material beyond the merely decorative, to functional and even structural roles.
