Enjoy a panoramic view

Floor-to-ceil­ing win­dows not only look great, they also provide a view of the out­side world, such as the garden. In addi­tion, they allow plenty of day­light into your home. This makes the rooms appear much bright­er and friend­li­er. When opt­ing for large glass fronts, you can choose between win­dow walls with fixed glaz­ing and lift-and-slide doors. For their install­a­tion, only mater­i­als should be used that have been tested for res­id­en­tial health and are very low in emis­sions. They can be eas­ily recog­nized by the EMICODE^® seal.

When installing new win­dows, more and more house­build­ers and ren­ov­at­ors are opt­ing for floor-to-ceil­ing win­dows. They are avail­able as lift-and-slide doors that can be opened, as well as win­dow walls with fixed glaz­ing. Both vari­ants allow a lot of light to enter the interi­or and offer impress­ive views of the sur­round­ings. For this reas­on, they are also called pic­ture or pan­or­ama win­dows. On the ground floor, they addi­tion­ally provide a bar­ri­er-free trans­ition to the out­doors, such as the garden. This enhances the res­id­ents’ qual­ity of life and inde­pend­ence, espe­cially in old age.

How­ever, floor-to-ceil­ing win­dows are not only excel­lent design ele­ments for mod­ern house facades. If your rooms are filled with suf­fi­cient amounts of nat­ur­al light and fresh air, you also live health­i­er. Your abil­ity to con­cen­trate is enhanced and you simply feel more bal­anced. But there is anoth­er advant­age of floor-to-ceil­ing win­dows: In the cold sea­son, they save energy by heat­ing the rooms through plenty of nat­ur­al sun­light. This pos­it­ive effect in winter can turn into the oppos­ite in sum­mer. Unless you have effect­ive sun pro­tec­tion – as provided, for example, by blinds, roller shut­ters or pleated shades with a spe­cial coat­ing. Nowadays, radio con­trol and wire­less smart home make oper­a­tion very easy. By installing mod­ern pri­vacy and sun screen­ing sys­tems, you can also pro­tect your­self from unwanted glances without com­pletely block­ing out nat­ur­al day­light.

With lift-and-slide doors, you should not for­get to install adequate burg­lar pro­tec­tion since the doors provide addi­tion­al access to the house. Floor-to-ceil­ing win­dows that can be opened require fall pro­tec­tion on the upper floors. There is no need to worry about loss of heat­ing energy: today, large win­dow fronts fea­ture excel­lent thermal insu­la­tion thanks to heat-insu­lat­ing glass, mod­ern frame design and spe­cial win­dow seals.
