A quality glazier is there for more than just emergencies!
A quality glazier is there for more than just emergencies!
The word 'glazier' is usually associated with a person or company responsible for repairing damage caused by accidents or vandals. It is true enough, that a large proportion of a glaziers time will be spent attending to such incidents, be it in a residential or a commercial setting.
It is worth noting however, that a true commercial glazier offers a far more sophisticated range of services than a general glazier or local double glazing company. The requirements of a retailer or commercial landlord are entirely different to those of a residential customer, therefore the range of products, services and skills provided must also be different.
Glazing services for retail businesses
Every retailer has its own unique set of requirements and preferences, depending on the type of environment in which they operate.
For example, chain stores usually require large glass panels for shop-front display purposes, whereas boutique city centre establishments are more likely to request smaller, high quality fixtures, perhaps in keeping with a particular style of building.
On the other hand, independent retailers based in suburban areas or housing estates might have a greater requirement for toughened glass, designed to cope with bikes being leant against the windows, the occasional football and so on. Such establishments are also more prone to vandalism, therefore a swift emergency glazing service would also be of value.
Post Offices and banks also have their own unique set of requirements, primarily focused on security glass for the interior of the building to protect staff, cash and assets from would-be thieves.
Commercial office environments require specialist glaziers
The range of products and services offered by glaziers for non-retail business environments is virtually 100% bespoke in nature, and as such requires specialist skills and knowledge that can only be provided by a dedicated commercial contractor.
Office settings simply aren't created 'out of the box', and as such usually require glass to be designed as per each client's individual requirements. The recommended approach is to work alongside an experienced, GGF registered glazing firm that can discuss with you, and design, the most suitable, cost-effective solution for your business.
Glass for Architects and Specifiers
Glass is without a doubt, a fantastic construction material, regardless of the scale of operation. As any Architect or Specifier will understand however, the choice of glass will have an impact on the building and its occupants.
The right glass will allow natural sunlight into the building, whilst discouraging glare that might affect the people working inside, in particular those who regularly use computer monitors. Heat allowed into the building, and heat allowed back out must also be considered to ensure that a comfortable environment is maintained inside, and to work in harmony with the air conditioning system.
The final consideration is safety. Internal glass for example, if correctly specified, can create a very effective fire wall, capable of saving lives should the worst ever happen. It must also be realised that whilst glass is generally very strong and robust, it must be designed to break safely to protect those in the vicinity from harm.
