Summary
The choice of the glazing depends essentially on :
The type of the building
– aesthetic
– application (commercial, residential …)
– equipement (HVAC….)
– quality and comfort needed (thermal, visual, acoustic …)
The climatic zone
– exposition to the wind, snow loads…
– outer temperature profile
– solar radiation profile
• latitude/altitude
• orientation/declination of the façade
• outer environment (shadows)
The local regulations in force (energy, safety, ...)

Do not place different glazing side by side
Respect the orientation of placing
Comments – Thermal shocks
If the difference of temperature is higher than
30°C between two points of a same glazing, there
is a risk of thermal breakage
