GLASS SELECTION CHECKLIST

One formula for an entire house is convenient in a schedule but not always correct. A south elevation, a roadside bedroom, a door zone and a large fixed pane may require different glazing.

GLASS SELECTION CHECKLIST

LOGIC

How we read the task.

01

Orientation

Area and direction define solar-control demand and acceptable visible light transmission.

02

Safety

Impact zones, doors, railings, roofs and fall risk require different safety-glass strategies.

03

Size and mass

Pane thickness follows wind, support, production format and the installation route.

04

Comfort

Ug, g-value, Rw and reflected colour must be balanced rather than maximised independently.

FAQ

Short answers.

Can one formula be used for every elevation?

Only after review. Sunny and shaded elevations, doors and large fixed panes often require different build-ups.

What information is needed?

Elevations with orientation, sizes, room use, acoustic and thermal targets, and the desired visual appearance.

Who confirms the final formula?

The glazing designer and IGU processor should confirm it against production formats and processing availability.

GLASS / START

Need an IGU build-up for a project?

Send elevations, dimensions and room requirements. We will separate solar, thermal, safety, acoustic and installation criteria.
