There are many options when it comes to double glazing for commercial properties. The question is, how do you start to narrow down your ideas?
The first step is to talk to a commercial glazing expert about your double glazing ideas.
They will have insight you can rely on when it comes the aesthetics of the double glazing for commercial properties. Their expertise will also be invaluable with the technical specifications that are so important to meeting the regulatory requirements of commercial buildings.
Ideas on the aesthetics of double glazing for commercial properties
Aluminium has been the first choice for commercial properties for many years. It offers exceptional design versatility so it can be used in a wide variety of building styles and commercial applications. Here at Mercury Glazing we manufacture a range of aluminium double glazing that are suitable for a wide variety of commercial buildings.
For example, Alitherm 300 Aluminium Windows have the elegant and understated style of a traditional casement window, which makes them ideal for commercial refurbishment projects. They also bring classic style to new constructions.
If you need a double glazing solution for a heritage or listed building, take a look at our Alitherm Heritage 47 Aluminium Windows. They have been engineered specifically to replace existing steel and Crittall windows, so they are ideal option, particularly when planning and conservation constraints are a factor. Their distinctive looks also bring a design-led feel to new build commercial projects.
If you need sliding sash windows, our Aluminium Sliding Sash Windows could be the answer.
It is also worth looking at PVC-U versions of sliding sash windows – we offer PVC-U Fully Welded Vertical Sliders and PVC-U Mechanically Jointed Vertical Sliders. We are one of the UK’s largest manufacturers of the market-leading PVC-U vertical sliding sash window, so we really are the experts on these complex window designs.
Both aluminium and PVC-U frames are available in a multitude of different colour options, so you can select a colour that blends in or makes a strong design statement to support your architectural specifications. Your commercial glazing partner will be ready to discuss your design ideas to help you select the shade that’s right for your project.
Ideas on the technical requirements of double glazing for commercial properties
All buildings need to meet stringent regulations when it comes to factors such as thermal efficiency, security and ventilation.
One size doesn’t fit all and the specifications of your commercial glazing are likely to differ from project to project depending on factors including location, thermal efficiency requirements and security considerations.
For example, high rise buildings will have higher wind loading requirements; buildings in busy city centres may need acoustic glazing solutions. When it comes to security, ground floor glazing might have more demanding requirements than glazing on upper floors.
When you work with a reputable commercial glazing company you can be sure you will have an expert partner by your side to help you with the technical requirements. They will be able to run calculations to assess the requirements of your commercial glazing. They will also have the experience to be able to identify requirements you may have missed.
In short, they should be your first port of call when it comes to your double glazing ideas for all commercial projects.
