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.
