Window Glass Enhancements: Everything You Need To Know

There is a wide range of enhancements that can be added to windows and door panels to improve their performance and appearance. Windows don’t have to be an afterthought in your home. They can be a beautiful addition that improves your thermal insulation and reduces your energy bills. At Sternfenster we are committed to helping you improve your home one step at a time. 

When you are making any home improvement, it is important to weigh up the most important factors, especially in terms of style and functionality. With home improvement technology and materials so advanced over the last few decades, there is no longer a need to compromise on either. Many design elements can be recreated in a more effective way to give you modern benefits with traditional style. Whether you want something classic or a more modern update, there are options available to you. 

Practical Window Glass Enhancements To Elevate Your Home

Let’s start by looking at the practical additions we can make to your windows to improve their function.

Lower Your Maintenance With Bio-Clean Glass

Bio-Clean glass is one practical option for your home that can save you time and keep your house looking gorgeous year-round. This is a great option for windows that are larger or harder to reach, making them less available for cleaning. A specialised coating on the outside of the glass harnesses natural UV light and rain to break down and rinse away any dirty residue that has settled on the glass. We use Planitherm naturally self-cleaning glass to provide customers with a window installation that will stay clean for longer, even in high-pollution areas.

Noise Reduction Sealed Units

Another option that appeals to people who live in busy, chaotic areas is our Noise Reduction Sealed Units. We have a range of units available depending on your needs, everything from basic units with thickened glass panes up to specialised glass with a transparent plastic layer sealed within. This reinforces the glass panes of your windows and doors to keep unwanted noise out and protect the privacy of your home. 

Window Glass Enhancements Can Be Stylish Too

Window glass enhancements don’t just have to be practical. They can have beautiful colours and designs that turn them from a functional home element to a beautiful decoration. We have a range of styles and designs that can be brought in to elevate your property design to a new level. 

Decorative Coloured and Patterned Glass

Decorative glass is an easy option to redesign your home and give it a new lease of life. We have window panes available with a range of decorative elements, from stained and coloured glass to bevelled and leaded designs. Classic decorative designs as well as more modern styles are very popular lately, and our state-of-the-art machinery allows us to deliver high-quality pieces to help you take advantage of this market trend.

Astragal and Georgian Bars for a Traditional Look

Astragal and Georgian bars are a favourite among customers who want to capture a traditional aesthetic for their window replacements. Astragal bars (28mm wide) are fitted onto the outside of a window pane to give the illusion of a window made of smaller panes. Georgian bars (18mm or 25mm wide) are fitted between the glass panes. Both of these additions look elegant and provide an extra layer of strength to the window.

Obscured Glass for Added Privacy

If you are looking for added privacy in style, obscured and patterned glass can provide a stunning solution. These are a great option to shield a room from the world outside while still letting in plenty of natural light. These are mainly used for rooms such as bathrooms to ensure privacy but also provide a beautiful stylistic addition to your home. At Sternfenster we use the Pilkington range of Textured Glass, with designs and patterns that offer various levels of obscurity.

Enhance Your Aesthetics and Keep Your Home Secured

As you can see, there are many options available to you if you are looking to add glass window enhancements to your home. You can add style easily while improving the overall quality of your property at the same time. 

At Sternfenster, we recognise that people want the minimum disruption to their lives. This is why we offer lead times as low as five days, giving you an efficient installation without compromising on quality. We also offer exceptional warranties to cover the unlikely occasions that something goes wrong with your product.
