Common Concerns Unobstructed views Energy efficiency Shade and comfort Aesthetics Safety and security Ease of maintance Performance weathering and durability
Solutions Modern lifestyles are making new demands on residential homes such as improved movement, communication, and energy effectiveness.
To capture views on the outside, Cavity Slider, Sentry or Commercial Multi Stacking Doors, or the use of Flush Glaze Systems will allow the home owner to capture and enjoy the view through larger openings and glazed areas. With a lot of glass comes the concern of energy efficiency. This can be addressed by the use of double glazing on the Flush Glaze or Universal (39mm), Curtain Wall, and Fletcher Aluminium Multi Stacker Doors. To allow a continuous flow of air into the home (if a residential system is used) include a passive ventilation system in the windows. If the house requires a commercial system, the inclusion of awning windows (which can be automated if required) or sliding windows will allow for adequate ventilation.
As many families and homeowners like to spend time outside, keeping the home protected from the sun is also important to protect furnishings and contents. Adding fixed or adjustable sun louvres will not only shade the interior but also add to the aesthetics of the design. All homes and their contents are valuable so to ensure protection against the elements, outside sliding Universal doors or single and double sliding Sentry and Fletcher Aluminium Sliding Doors have been tested to very high wind levels and rain conditions. They can also include multi-point locking systems to enhance security.
