Usually, the importance of glazing is that it transmits light well and improves structural designs and façade. Thus, it is important for one to be keen in choosing what kind of glazing will be used for a certain building. There are various kinds of glazing from glass, polyethylene and polycarbonate. All these come in different prices. Also, there are weaknesses and strengths per kind of glazing which we at London Glazing are knowledgeable about.
The most commonly used in glazing is glass because of its property to last longer than any other glazing types. However, it is more expensive compared to other types of glazing. But building owners still choose this because it can transmit the light very well although it is transparent to heat. In addition, glass also does not spread the light quite well which may then result to shadowing and it’s difficult to work in this kind of glazing because you can’t cut the glass at all whenever it’s tampered.
Another kind is the Polyethylene films wherein it’s the easiest kind of glazing to work with and also, the price is relatively inexpensive. The only problem with this kind of glazing is that the films are not transparent to heat although it can transmit and spread the light very well. Thus, increasing the radiation energy losses during nights compared to other glazing. Lastly is the Polycarbonate films wherein these are the films that can be cut easily. But the problem here is that it has a low transmittance of light and heat unlike the glass.
