Floor-to-Ceiling Windows: Maximising Light and Comfort
Floor-to-ceiling windows do more than just brighten your home – they connect you with the outdoors and enhance your views. The natural light reflects from the floor, filling your home with brightness and even spreading into adjoining rooms, creating a more inviting and airy atmosphere.
Enhance Comfort and Boost Energy Efficiency
Installing solar control glass in your floor-to-ceiling windows helps regulate indoor temperatures during the hotter months, improving energy efficiency. By reflecting heat while still allowing natural light to enter, solar control glass reduces the need for air conditioning, lowering utility bills and your environmental impact. This innovative solution is perfect for modern homes, offering sustainability without sacrificing comfort or style. Plus, it creates a consistent indoor climate, ensuring your home remains comfortable throughout the year.
Do Floor-to-Ceiling Windows Overheat Your Home?
Large windows, particularly those facing south or west, can increase solar gain, raising indoor temperatures. To maintain a comfortable indoor environment, solar shading is an effective solution. It helps regulate heat and reduce glare, protecting furniture from UV damage and creating a more pleasant living space. By combining solar shading with energy-efficient glazing options, you can enjoy the benefits of floor-to-ceiling windows without overheating, ensuring year-round comfort.
Consider VELFAC SKN176 Solar Glass for Enhanced Heat Control
Windows exposed to full sunlight can generate significant heat, especially when large units are installed on south- or west-facing façades. VELFAC solar glass features a neutral coating that reflects up to 60% of the sun's heat while still allowing plenty of natural light. For enhanced solar control, VELFAC SKN154 solar glass has a slightly darker coating, providing more heat reflection while maintaining transparency, though it may subtly alter the external appearance.
