The Many Benefits of Commercial Glazing
Unlike regular glass installations, glass glazing uses a series of panes to create a sturdy and reliable surface. Commercial glaziers will often use a double or triple pane of glass to make these barriers as strong and reliable as possible.
Depending on the desired strength, a commercial glazer could use two or even three panes of glass, each layered and separated by a small space to reduce the transfer of heat.
There are many benefits to installing glass glazing on your property, including, but not limited to:
Visibility
While this benefit may seem obvious, prioritizing visibility between your business and the world outside is fundamental to your commercial success. Not only will passersby be able to see the inside of your store and daily operation, but your employees will also be able see what is going on outside, and this is crucial to the safety and security of your business.
Natural Light
Being able to access natural light is one of the best ways to reduce your need for electric power and will enhance the aesthetics of your commercial space immensely.
Temperature
One of the main reasons that many business owners choose to invest in glazing is to increase the thermal performance of their site. This means keeping warm air in during cooler months and retaining air conditioning throughout the summer. High-quality glazing can help reduce your energy bills significantly.
Acoustics
Quality glazing can also reduce the intrusion of outside noise, providing acoustic benefits to your commercial space.
Safety
Glass glazing is thick and strong. When installed properly, it will resist strong storms and physical penetration. You will not have to worry about thieves breaking through the window and disrupting the safety of your business.
