GLASS AWNING

Combination of elegance and functionality

A glass awning or also known as glass canopy or glass pergola is a beautiful alternative to traditional awning covers like canvas, metal or polycarbonate. The skylights/glass roofing provides protection from the weather while allowing in natural light and is ideal for door entrance, walkways, shelters or building extensions.
The use of tempered laminated glass is ideal for safety purposes and you also won’t notice the rain banging on the glass, as much as you would on other awning materials. The glass structure is often made using frames made of materials such as steel, aluminium and wood for support and strength.

Why Choose Sandblasted Glass for your canopy, awning or pergola?

Sandblasted glass is becoming an increasingly popular choice in design. For the home or office environment, it provides the perfect balance between transparency and privacy, all-in-one. Here’s how sandblasted glass can benefit your design.

When you want an open-style design that provides you with the right amount of privacy, sandblasted glass can give you exactly that. Since the surface of the glass is sprayed with an abrasive media at high pressure, it produces a frosted-like surface that in essence, blurs out any details of figures behind it or above it. So what you may see are shapes and shadows of objects or people, but nothing more.

Since the material is still glass, its reflective nature allows light to brighten up a space rather than darken it.

Although sandblasted glass is still reflective enough to brighten a room, since the surface level is frosted, the reflective nature of it is diffused. That means when light shines on the glass, there aren’t any intense rays penetrating through and heating up the area or room. So during those hot summers months, you can maintain a cooler internal temperature while savings on those energy bills.

This style of glass design has drastically improved over the years. Now, you can choose from a wide variety of custom designs to tailor the look to your specific needs. The translucent etched glass can be tailored with creative designs or patterns to bring that touch of extra flair and artistic design to any space.

From office space layouts to interior homes, sandblasted glass can increase the property value of the design with the combination of benefits that it provides. Aside from the aesthetic appeal, those energy savings, diffused light, and added privacy are all factors that bump up the value of a property.

If you’re in the market for that perfect glass awning that will provide that perfect balance between privacy, openness, aesthetic appeal and reduce energy bills – sandblasted glass is the perfect choice. Contact SBF Interiors and Outdoor Solutions today to help get your customized design started.
