What are the cons of installing a glass enclosure? 

We tackle some of the doubts or hesitations that rise up when it comes to choosing a glass curtain: a sheltering choice that requires professional guidance from qualified experts 

Price

For many particular clients, price points are the first and often only criteria to account for. However, by working with professional clients, we have partners that understand that they can’t compromise on technical quality so they make it a priority, which is in turn the best guarantee for the final customer. For our partners, having an expert provider like Glaxior is added value, not a nuisance. 

Thermal and acoustic isolation 

A glass curtain is not a hermetic enclosure, even if it offers a high degree of protection against open environments. Particularly in places that get a lot of direct sunlight, the temperature inside is noticeably warmer during the winter. The outside noise is equally reduced. However, if there are extreme climate conditions, low sun exposure or high acoustic pollution, the capacity for heat retention and acoustic isolation of the space becomes limited. 

That is why it is essential to have a manufacturer that uses the highest quality materials available on the market, has the greatest technical precision, and can offer efficient and useful advice, so that the installation of a glass curtain always maximizes the insulation capacity offered by the system. 

Climatization

In line with the previous point, depending on the nature of each environment, it can be more or less challenging to artificially climatize glazed spaces. The use of certain bioclimatic materials influences the thermal retention and release capacity of a space, but having experienced suppliers and professionals who know how to assess the needs of each project is crucial to ensuring a satisfactory result for the end user, which is why synergy with our customers is a priority.

Cleaning the glass 

This is another common concern among users: a big glass coverage is more vulnerable to condensation, humidity, and rain stains. To simplify maintenance and cleaning tasks, we have designed sliding and folding systems that allow access to both sides of the glass curtain. 

Depending on the environment in which these curtains are to be installed, one system or another will be recommended, taking into account, among other factors, the simplicity and accessibility for cleaning the curtain.

Installation errors

This point is usually a concern that is more relevant to the professionals involved than to the end customers who will be using the glass curtain. Faulty installation of glazing can have serious implications for end customers, creating inconveniences in terms of comfort or even user safety. 

Inaccurate measurements, cheap materials, incorrect thicknesses, etc. are risk factors for the integrity of the space. At Glaxior, we offer our partners useful, clear, and accurate technical information and a diverse technical catalog to ensure that installations are carried out in perfect conditions of safety and efficiency.
