Glass walls are a trend of modernism that serves as a unique point of contact between the comfort of the inside and the outside world. These hollow spaces unlike the standard masonry walls dissolve walls permitting sunlight, plants and scenery to enter into the interior world of the house.
The primary advantage of exterior glass walls is that there is a lot of natural light. Incorporating daylight into interior spaces minimises the use of artificial light sources, improves interior mood, and causes spaces to seem larger. They particularly work well in living rooms, restaurants, and home offices where space and motivation are needed.
Design versatility provides more choices to homeowners. Movable glass walls will be used to maximise views, but tinted or frosted walls can be used to restrict privacy and glare. To save on energy costs, double or triple glazing is used to insulate the building, keeping it comfortable throughout the seasons and saving energy costs.
These walls are constructed using very thin frames made of aluminium or steel, or occasionally mounted without any frame to create the illusion of minimalist, barely-there walls. Sliding or folding systems provide flexibility to allow complete opening of walls and combine the interior with a patio, garden, or deck.
In addition to aesthetics, glass walls symbolise a way of life. They are characterised by openness, transparency and nature and make homes light filled sanctuaries that help people to relax and be innovative.
