High performance windows improve resident comfort by eliminating drafts, improving insulation, limiting condensation, and reducing pollution and noise infiltration.
When combined with insulated or double-glazed glass, structural glazing significantly improves energy efficiency and sound insulation essential for comfort in tall structures.
Download this guide to learn about the increasing array of innovative glazing possibilities for high-rise facades and to see inspiring examples from around the world.
Discover why high-rise glazing installation specialists are vital for tall building construction. Learn how expert commercial glaziers keep high-rise glass projects on track.
Most high-rise buildings use curtain wall or window wall systems with fixed glazing and limited operable units. Commercial towers often use curtain wall systems due to higher wind resistance, while residential condos commonly use window wall systems for cost efficiency.
ECONDARY WINDOWS: HIGH-PERFORMANCE WINDOWS AT A FRACTION OF THE COST Secondary windowsalso known as low-e storm windows, insulating panels, or secondary glazing systemsare a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to full win.
This study has assessed the effectiveness of secondary quad glazing as a low-cost, minimally invasive retrofit solution to enhance the energy efficiency of existing double-glazed windows in residential buildings.
