Glazing Types
We can provide a wide range of glazing options for your doors. Choices include clear,
obscure or tinted glass, solar controlled heat reflective glass, self cleaning
glass, or glass incorporating ventian blinds.
All options have a low emissivity (Low e) coating on the inner pane to reduce the amount
of heat loss through the door, keeping the room warmer in the winter.
Anti Sun glass on the outer pane adds the benefit of reducing the amount of heat
gain from the sun, keeping the room cooler in the summer.
Low Iron glass allows more solar rays to pass through the glass enhancing the heat gain from the sun. Low Iron glass combined with Low e glass is used in most 'A' rated windows and provides the best in energy performance / energy rating.
Self cleaning
glass has a coating on the outside that breaks down and loosens organic content
such as dirt which is then washed away as it rains.
A summary of the most
popular options is listed below.
