Choosing the right glazing for your home is important. Five key tips to consider.
Fixed glass is more cost effective than sliding, hinged or folding
One large opening door or sliding doors with fixed glass elsewhere can really work well. Consider how often you need to open up the glass, where your furniture will be and key views out to the garden.
Do remember to allow though for cross ventilation in the space.

Frame to glass ratio
With advances in glass the frame is often less thermally efficient than the glass. Frames also block sight lines.

Sliding over bi-fold?
Three large sliding doors will give you much better views than a bi-fold with multiple thicker vertical frames. If you really want the ability to open right up invest in a good quality product. The skyline system at 100% Design was smooth to operate and the timber/ aluminium finish looked great.

Go big
Large glass floor to ceiling has a fantastic impact on a space. Neat, recessed blind details hide away the blind so you have a clean ceiling line. Advances in systems allow for large hinged windows.
Remember to check the weight of the glass to avoid any expensive lifting equipment which is usually excluded from the glazing supplier’s initial quote.
