Location is a major factor to consider when it comes to specialist glazing. Temperatures, rainfall and hurricane risk can all affect which bespoke glazing solutions are best suited for the project.
IQ offers a wide range of glazing solutions and technical glazing options, allowing us to design glazing that has been adapted to suit the location.
Glazing Specialists for Finland
In colder climates, such as Finland, where the southern portions of the country are snow-covered for about three to four months of the year, and the northern for about seven months, thermally efficient glazing is essential for any project type.
Specifying thermally efficient glazing can be done in many ways, with the most common being using triple glazed systems. For specialist glazing in Finland, we may also recommend heated glass to help prevent snow build-up.
All of our thermal aluminium glazing systems use fully thermally broken framing profiles and are manufactured with a low e coating as standard to ensure our systems are unparalleled in thermal performance values.
An excellent example of where specialist glazing in Finland was used is the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort. This luxury holiday resort in Finland has two and four person igloos, made of glass, that are nestled into the snowy landscape.
Heated glass was specified for these unique glass igloo pods to prevent snow build-up. By keeping the walls and ceiling free from snow, guests are able to admire the northern lights and the twinkling of the bright starry sky.
