Adding glass can brighten your entryway without compromising safety or warmth, as long as you choose the right glass. For safety, we use toughened or laminated glass as standard. Laminated glass holds together even when cracked, making it much harder to break through. It’s a smart choice if security is a top priority. For energy efficiency, double-glazed units are essential. They insulate well and often include low-emissivity* coatings and gas-filled gaps to reduce heat loss. You can even choose obscure or patterned glass for privacy without losing natural light. We’ll guide you through the safest, most efficient glazing options that still suit the style of your home. You’ll get the look you want with performance you can rely on.

*Emissivity: Emissivity is a measure of how well a surface emits thermal radiation, with values from 0 to 1. A value of 0 corresponds to a perfect reflector, while 1 represents an ideal emitter (known as a blackbody). It describes how effectively a material radiates heat compared to this perfect emitter at the same temperature. For instance, a dark, matte surface typically has high emissivity, whereas a bright, polished metal surface has low emissivity.
