Characteristics of glass facades

– They have several installation modes. Swing, sliding or automatic doors can be left, right or center, with or without a lintel.

– They are built with high-strength tempered glass, which is an important material when it comes to products with a high degree of transparency.
– Maintenance and cleaning is easy.
– From a non-commercial point of view, a home can have a facade system as well. It allows to better absorb and take advantage of outdoor light. This allows to expand the variety of designs applicable to a residential construction.
