Choosing glazing for your self-build project made easy with top tips from Kloeber.

Windows

Consider the design, style and frame material that would suit, think about how you plan to use the room and which way you want the windows to open and close. Bear in mind, from a planning perspective the council will take into consideration the choices you make, so speak to your architect for advice.

Bifold doors

Bifold doors can open up to 90% of the aperture so are ideal for smaller openings. We offer a variety of configurations with inward and outward opening options to suit your room. Create a cohesive living space with a level threshold and similar flooring inside and out.

Sliding doors

Sliding doors are ideal for larger apertures where the maximum opening will be round 70%. With slim sightlines and the option of wider panes of glass, you can have unbroken views of your garden all year round.

French doors

French doors are ideal if you want to add light to a room without opening up a large area to the outdoors. Suitable for a period or traditional style property, they can be used with glazing panels to create that bifold door look.

Types of glass

Consider whether you will need solar control glass for a south facing room or low iron glass for a north facing room. Try self-cleaning glass for areas you can’t reach or large expanses of glazing.

Energy efficiency

Choose doors and windows with a low U-value and consider double or triple glazing. Don’t forget to ask your supplier for thermal and weather-testing reports.
