“Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent.” – Joe Sparano.
Windows and doors are an integral part of our lives. Yet, we often undermine their impact on our wellbeing. The fenestration industry has evolved around this concept while dynamically adapting to the rapidly changing facets of design. Human comfort, security, and experience are fundamental considerations fulfilled through architecture. Beyond solving the issues of light and ventilation, fenestration systems are concerned with addressing these requirements.
It is crucial to unfold its various facets to comprehend the impact of fenestration.
While these have set the fundamental basis for fenestration design, this industry has also adopted various measures to make these solutions more viable with time.
How aluminium and glass support these considerations:
Aluminium is a non-corrosive material that exudes durability while providing excellent payback value. It is an easy and robust material to work with. Manufacturing the same consumes less energy as compared to steel. Additionally, aluminium is entirely recyclable, making it a higher-performing and energy-efficient material. Aluminium can also withstand extreme climates with minimal wear and tear and provides ease of installation, cleaning, and maintenance – making it a highly viable option for designers to consider.
Glass is available in a variety of thicknesses, transparency and light permeability. The right type of glass can truly transform a space. Technological advancements in glass now allow designers to play with the quality, amount, and intensity of light to obtain the best possible result. Glass technology has undergone tremendous improvements, resulting in eco-friendly options. Based on the project, the correct type of glass can decrease environmental repercussions while offering higher energy efficiency. Glass is also made of sustainable, recyclable, and non-polluting materials, making it energy efficient and reducing its carbon footprint.
Aluminium and glass make a powerful, eye-catching duo that has changed the course of fenestration technology. In addition, their ability to address all the design considerations needed for fenestration makes aluminium and glass an ideal choice for making doors and windows.
