These days, glazing can be installed in a vast range of shapes and sizes, and many homeowners are increasingly opting for floor-to-ceiling windows. Far from being limited to modern apartments and designer glass-box homes, floor-to-ceiling windows can transform almost any type of property.
Connect your home to the outdoors
Natural light is critical for our wellbeing, as well as improving the look and feel of a home. If you are looking to increase the flow of natural light into your home, floor-to-ceiling windows or a glass wall are ideal. They create a bright, airy space and a connection to the outdoor environment that is both relaxing and inspiring.
Floor-to-ceiling windows are also one of the best ways to make the most of a stunning view, whether it is rolling hills, the sea, beautiful trees or a vibrant cityscape. Every room should have a focal point, and large windows create an impressive feature that draws the eye and holds your attention.
Versatile style
With an extensive choice of materials and finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows can be incorporated into almost any style of property, not just contemporary homes. Picture, for example, a converted barn with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the countryside. You can choose sleek aluminium frames for a clean, modern finish, or timber frames for a more traditional feel. Panels can be fixed, or they can open and close, and they can easily be combined with glass doors for indoor-outdoor living and easy access to the garden or a balcony.
Floor-to-ceiling windows are especially suitable for modern high-rise buildings. This is becoming a popular choice for many home owners in Battersea who are looking to upgrade their double glazing.
Are floor-to-ceiling windows right for you and your home?
There is no doubt that there are many advantages to installing floor-to-ceiling windows in your home. However, a lack of privacy can be a drawback if your property is overlooked. If you feel that heavy curtains will spoil the look you are aiming for, then floor-to-ceiling windows may not be ideal in that particular room. You could consider installing a floor-to-ceiling window in a different part of the house that isn’t as overlooked. There is no law that says floor-to-ceiling windows can only be used in a kitchen or dining area! They can bring a touch of drama to any room in the house, including the bedroom, bathroom or office.
It is a good idea to talk to your glazier about safety issues before you make your choice. There are many ways to ensure floor-to-ceiling windows are as safe as possible, such as using toughened or laminated glass, and it’s particularly important to consider all the options if you have young children around.
