Windows play a crucial role in the overall appearance of a building.

The effect of window glass on the exterior architectural design and style of the building:

Windows of all sizes allow natural light to pass through.
and give the building a bright appearance.
But floor-to-ceiling glass windows create a modern and funky impression that catches the eye.

Choosing the right form of window glass for your organization or home has a huge impact on the design, architectural style and character of the building.
For example
The square or rectangular shape is the most common and familiar type.
but an oval or circular shape is more attractive and pleasing to the eye.
Arranging the windows back-to-back gives a cohesive, uncluttered, and non-random look.
Separate windows are more complex.

  • color:

The color of the glass affects the appearance of the building’s exterior.
Clear, plain, colored, patterned, decorative, reflective and mirrored glass each expresses the character of the building in its own way.
Each type has a separate effect, so careful selection is of utmost importance.
