Windows are the most important part of a residential space. The style and aesthetics of a window determines the setting of the home interiors and exteriors. There are a number of ways in which windows can be renovated, but there are certain limitations that these windows create barring a quality or another for the home interiors.
When it comes to window renovation, glass complements every space and setting. The elegant appearance of glass makes it a perfect solution to suit the requirements of home and living space. There are a number of glass solutions for doors and windows that ensure safety, privacy & energy efficiency and fit well for residential space.
Doors and windows form a major part of home interiors and complement the overall finesse and appearance. Doors and windows are crucial and indispensable as they maintain the proper ventilation and complete the look of the interior. With the gradual technology in glass solutions, glass has not only helped in implementing doors and windows for interiors, but has also lent various modes and designs for the same.
Sliding system use the interesting and innovative mechanism of sliding door gears to operate the door or windows they are installed by. They open horizontally by sliding, usually parallel to a wall and give both quirky and aesthetic outlook for your interiors.
Sliding doors made of Wood and aluminium – The new resort for glass solutions
within doors and windows, you have multiple choices within wooden, aluminium and uPVC profiles. Nowadays, along with aesthetic value, there are other features like safety, security, noise-cancelling etc. which are gaining importance. Today, sliding doors and windows made of wood and aluminium are gaining huge importance and popularity for glass solutions.
Wood is a premium and environmentally sustainable option and is a perfect choice when it comes to sliding windows and doors. It offers a sense of luxury to your home, and is as functional as any other systems. Wooden profiles made from timber wood and aluminium framed windows or doors made from aluminium glazing are generated using specialised machines to provide you with unmatched finish and quality.
Light yet strong, aluminium windows and doors can be configured into a wide variety of combinations. The narrow build of the frame shifts the viewer’s focus on the glass, and subsequently the view it offers. Multi-panel door systems are often made with aluminium frames to facilitate indoor/outdoor living. In aluminium options, thermal break systems that help in reducing energy consumption.
Glasxperts has developed a conventional set of sliding doors and windows solution that perfectly fulfils the requirements of your space. The windows will be installed at the site by our trained installation team to ensure correct fitting and insulation.
There are so many different window and door opening types. Generally for each type too, you should also think about screening, security, cost and impact on the space (so keep reading for those sections).
Fixed glass: Like it sounds – glass that doesn’t open. Sometimes you only want the view, and not necessarily ventilation as well. Don’t think every bit of glass you put in your home has to be operable. Fixed glazing generally has a finer frame, and can be great where view, but not ventilation, is the priority.
Sliding: In aluminium frames, sliding windows and doors are the least expensive of all operable window types. They’re easy to screen as they move within the frame. Aluminium sliding windows and doors generally have the track for screens already built in as a standard.
Casement: These windows are hinged on the side and open outwards. They’re brilliant for capturing breezes – as you can angle them to literally channel a breeze inside. You can use them as solid or obscured panels too to control views and privacy. Screening needs to go on the inside.
Sashless or frameless: A sashless or frameless window is a double-hung window where there’s no edge framing on the moving parts of glass. So the window panes or panels slide past each other on a counterbalance (which is houses in the side frame, or window jamb), and there’s a small handle on the window itself (which is basically a little bit of glass stuck onto the window pane).
These create the most transparent type of opening window, because views aren’t interrupted by any framing members around the opening parts. You can get them in horizontal moving, or vertical moving.
Yep, they’re pricey. But they’re stunning. And, as with all things, it’s a case of weighing up the impact on your spaces, the feeling you’re chasing, and whether the investment is worth it to you.
There are a number of glass solutions that can fit the requirement of the home space. They can fulfil the needs like privacy, security, energy efficiency, etc.
Tinted or laminated glass:
Glass can be tinted either during its manufacture (where metal oxides are added) or with an adhesive film applied after installation. Glass can also be laminated (glued) together, and interlayers added between the layers to provide privacy or sun protection.
I generally recommend you choose the base level of manufacturers’ tint for all glass in your windows and doors. It helps improve the solar performance of the glass, as well as helps with privacy and glare during the day.
If you have large areas of west-facing glass or skylights, you may want to consider a higher performance glass, including laminated “Low E” glass types. You can do incredible things with glass these days to help it keep heat in and out of your home, yet maintain your views and light.

uPVC Doors and windows:
To make the most of these glass windows and doors, you can consider pairing them with uPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) door and window frames. These range of uPVC frames not only give your home an aesthetic look but also transform the space into one that is eco-friendly.
One of the major advantages of uPVC windows is that they can withstand heat, cold, wind, rain, and snow without corroding, peeling, chipping, or flaking. Once you install uPVC, you do not have to worry about maintaining it regularly as this material will last for a longer time.
According to Asahi Glass India, uPVC is one of the world’s oldest polymers. It is a cost-effective, non-toxic and environmentally efficient material used in construction, transportation, industries etc. Unlike its wooden or aluminum counterparts, uPVC offers windows that do not require maintenance. These windows also play a significant role in maintaining the décor of the house, ensuring safety and security for the occupants.
Advantages of using uPVC windows
uPVC window systems enhances natural cross-ventilation. Good quality uPVC windows and doors offers ultraviolet resistance and don’t fade due to heat, humidity or pollution. These window frames are easy to clean and don’t require painting or sealing, this considerably lessens the maintenance required over their lifetime.
A common issue with living within a densely populated area such as an apartment complex is sound penetration from external sources. Windows can often be identified as the main culprit of this problem. A common unit complex has windows with thin, ordinary glass installed and this provides little protection against external noise such as road or air traffic.
In the past, there have been only a few options available to stop this noise coming in via the glass – double glazing being the most popular solution. Whilst double glazing is an extremely efficient acoustic insulator, it also requires modification of the existing window frames to install and comes at a fairly sizable cost.
Acoustic laminated glass types use a uniquely developed interlayer which dampens noise. This now means that thinner glass types can be used to improve internal sound quality. There are many varied factors to consider when upgrading for sound efficiency, such as the amount of air gaps currently present in the window frame, or the materials the window is made of, so it is always best to speak with a professional first.
External glass such as shopfronts and common area doorways are prone to vandals and security threats. Sometimes a simple solution can be a security grill covering the area, however this diminishes the appearance of the premises. There are some clear options available to help enhance security and maintain a view.
Advancements in glass technology have come on in leaps and bounds in recent years. Glass can now be combined with other products to improve its durability and performance. Security glass is a specialist product which has multiple layers of glass with plastic in between them. This creates a extremely strong barrier against intruders compared to normal glass. Ballistic rated glass is actually made in a very similar manner. The glass itself can be made clear or in various shades of colour and can also be given energy efficient coatings to improve a building’s performance.
Another option to improve the security of external windows and doors is security film. This is a completely clear plastic film which is adhered to the internal face of the glass panel. The film has very strong glue which bonds to the glass and holds it together in the event of a breakage.
Security film comes in various grades of thickness as it is used to both upgrade existing non-compliant glass as well as increase the security on safety panels.
Home space can make the utilization of this space at a more extensive level in light of the fact that these foundations need to make an impression among their visitors, customers and guests. Stained glass is utilized as a part of glass entryway plans for home interiors. They are broadly utilized as a part of windows, the utilization have extended to walkways, bay windows and significantly more. With cutting edge producing strategies, the glass can be changed as far as quality and can assume its part as a security arrangement too.
The residential space needs to have a stylistic theme materials to awe the visitors. Glass discovers its path all around, in living room, bedroom and even kitchen. Stained glass is a standout amongst the most beautifying arrangements as it conveys various quality to the space where introduced and the motivation behind why lodgings never miss a chance to make utilization of this glass arrangement. Aside from stylish excellence, this arrangement adds security to the space where introduced. The visitors get a sentiment selectiveness and jump at the chance to visit the place over and over. Subject rooms and gathering lobbies take this inclination to a radical new level.
