Read the guideHow to choose the right type of glass
Choosing glass starts with three questions: how important is safety, do you need privacy, and what aesthetic effect are you after. For areas with a risk of breakage (railings, doors, floors), tempered and laminated glass are the standard.
For a premium look with faithful colour rendering, ultra clear is the right choice. When you need light but also discretion, satin glass filters views without blocking daylight. Tinted and coloured shades add character, while printed glass allows the surface to be fully personalised.

PVC excels at thermal and acoustic insulation for residential windows and doors, with low maintenance and a good price-performance ratio. Aluminium allows large openings, generous glazed surfaces and curtain walls — it is the choice for commercial and architectural projects.
In practice, many projects combine both: PVC for the home, aluminium for facade elements and wide glazing. The final decision depends on opening sizes, energy requirements and the desired appearance.

A successful installation starts with precise measurements and properly prepared openings. Check the flatness and strength of the substrate, coordinate with the other teams on site and ensure the access needed to transport large elements.
Perimeter sealing and correct fixing are essential to final performance — which is why we recommend that installation be carried out by specialised teams that follow the system specifications.

Glass should be cleaned with non-abrasive solutions and soft cloths, avoiding hard sponges that can scratch the surface. For shower enclosures, wiping after use prevents limescale build-up.
Check hardware, seals and fixing systems periodically. Simple but consistent maintenance preserves the appearance and extends the life of the systems.

A ventilated facade creates an air layer between the cladding and the building structure, which improves thermal behaviour in summer and winter and protects the walls from moisture and temperature swings.
Beyond energy performance, ventilated facades offer architectural freedom through a variety of finishes and contribute to the long-term durability of the building envelope.

Joinery is one of the main areas of energy loss in a building. The number of profile chambers, the quality of the glazing (double or triple, Low-E) and the sealing determine how well the system insulates.
High-performance joinery lowers energy bills, eliminates cold draughts and improves acoustic comfort — an investment that pays for itself over time.
