GLASS CHOSEN FOR YOUR HOME

Enjoy the view.
Consider the comfort.

FineLine sliding doors offer a choice of high-performance double and triple glazing, including solar-control glass that helps reduce heat gain in sunny weather. Combined with thermal insulation to limit heat loss in colder months, the right glass specification helps create a comfortable living space throughout the year.

We tailor the glass to your home’s orientation, shading and how you use the room—balancing daylight, clear views and temperature control. Whether you are opening a kitchen to the garden or planning a contemporary glass extension, we help you choose glazing as part of the complete design.

A clearer choice of glass.

Solar control for sunny spaces

Solar-control glass helps limit the solar energy entering your room. We consider the direction your doors face, the area of glazing and available shading, alongside ventilation, to find a suitable balance of daylight and solar protection.

Double or triple glazing

Choose the glazing around your project’s insulation requirements. Triple glazing offers another option when thermal performance is a priority. We confirm the U-value for your specified door system, distinguishing whole-door performance from the glass-only figure.

Clarity and security options

Low-iron glass offers a clearer appearance with less green tint. Laminated glass options can also be considered for your security requirements. The final specification brings these choices together with solar control, insulation and the appearance of adjoining glazing.

THE DETAIL MATTERS

Start with the
right questions.

What is the difference between solar control and insulation?

Solar-control properties influence how much solar energy passes through the glass. Thermal insulation describes heat transfer through the assembly. They are different performance questions; ask for both the glass specification and whole-system thermal information for the proposed doors.

Will every solar-control glass look the same?

Glass options can differ in daylight transmission, colour and reflectance. Discuss these alongside solar performance and ask how the selected glass will look with adjoining glazing. Confirm the option in the quotation and agreed specification.

What else affects the comfort of the room?

Orientation, shading, ventilation, room layout and the total area of glass all matter. Solar-control glass is one part of that design discussion. Share plans and details of the surrounding space so the glazing can be considered in context.
