GLASS FACADES & CURTAIN WALLS

Selecting the right glass façade or curtain wall system requires careful consideration of several key factors to ensure that the solution aligns perfectly with the architectural vision, practical requirements, and the unique needs of homes and offices.

ARCHITECTURAL COMPATIBILITY

The integration of a glass façade or curtain wall system from 360 GSS should seamlessly complement the architectural style and objectives of the building. Whether aiming for a design that is minimalist or intricately patterned, it is crucial that the choice enhances the building's overall aesthetic while respecting its structural integrity. The compatibility with the building's existing or planned architectural elements is essential for creating a cohesive and visually appealing exterior.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

A critical aspect of our glass facades and curtain walls is their impact on a building's thermal performance, directly influencing energy consumption and the comfort of its occupants. 360 GSS considers the thermal insulation, solar gain, and ventilation capabilities of each system, utilising options such as low-emissivity (low-E) coatings and insulated glass units (IGUs) to optimise energy efficiency and indoor comfort.

DURABILITY AND MAINTENANCE

The durability of our glass façade and curtain wall systems ensures the longevity and continued aesthetic appeal of the building. We evaluate materials for their resistance to weathering, corrosion, and environmental stress, alongside considering the ease of maintenance and cleaning to minimise lifecycle costs and maintain the system's appearance over time.

SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE

360 GSS ensures that all glass façade and curtain wall systems meet the necessary safety standards and building codes, covering aspects such as wind load, seismic activity, fire resistance, and impact safety. Adherence to these regulations is paramount for the safety of occupants and compliance with legal requirements.

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE

For buildings situated in noisy environments, the acoustic insulation of the glass façade or curtain wall is a significant consideration. Our systems are designed to reduce external noise, enhancing the interior comfort of homes and offices. Special acoustic glazing options are available to improve sound insulation without compromising natural light.

COST AND BUDGET CONSTRAINTS

Balancing the aesthetic and performance benefits of glass facades and curtain walls with budget considerations is crucial. 360 GSS works closely with clients to align project goals with financial constraints, considering the total cost of ownership, including installation, maintenance, and energy savings.

SUSTAINABILITY

360 GSS is committed to promoting sustainable architecture through our glass façade and curtain wall systems. We focus on using recyclable materials, improving the building's energy efficiency, and supporting sustainable design certifications, reflecting modern trends towards environmentally responsible construction.

Choosing the right glass façade or curtain wall system with 360 GSS for your home or office involves careful consideration of these factors. Our expertise ensures that clients receive solutions that not only meet but exceed expectations, enhancing the aesthetic, environmental, and functional quality of their buildings.
