01. Good vision. This is the most intuitive advantages of floor-to-ceiling windows, floor-to-ceiling windows because of the large area, and more transparent, so the entire visual senses have an optimization. In their own homes, whether standing or sitting, a glance can look outside the landscape , the visual experience is very good. This is still just the lake, if the neighborhood is built on the river or the beach, the sense of grandeur from high down, is very enjoyable.
02. Good lighting. Sunny weather, you can directly feel the whole sun shining in their own homes, sitting next to the window to practice yoga, the whole body and mind can get great relaxation. But this point is not the biggest advantage of floor-to-ceiling window lighting, can really reflect, but also when it is cloudy.
On a cloudy day, or when the weather is a little darker, the living room of many of the people in our building need to turn on the lights in order to have normal activities. But with the floor-to-ceiling windows, unless it's dark, most of the time my house is exceptionally well lit, no matter what the weather.
03. UV protection. Like the sun, enjoy the sunbathing friends, may be one of the biggest worry is that the sun will face a strong ultraviolet radiation, but the floor-to-ceiling windows of the ultraviolet function, it will allow many people to rest assured and comfortable end of the cup of tea, sitting in a chair in the sun.
04. Low cost, save time and labor. floor-to-ceiling windows of the glass area is relatively large, window settings, can reduce the cost of the entire housing project, and the installation process, but also relatively simple, and subsequently, if you encounter any problems, maintenance is also relatively convenient.
05. sound insulation and heat insulation. My home is just in the most vulnerable to noise harassment of the floor, especially at night to dance in the square moms, the loud speaker, often disturbed. But the glass has a strong sound insulation effect, the installation of glass floor windows, can effectively prevent the noise outside. And floor-to-ceiling windows can also effectively isolate the cold and warm air humidity, even in winter, the house will not be too cold.
Disadvantages of floor-to-ceiling windows01. Poor privacy. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the outdoor scenery very well, the outside world is all in full view, but you can see the outside at the same time, the outdoor people can also see you very clearly. After living there for a long time, you often have the feeling that your every move is being watched, which makes you very uncomfortable.
02. Poor security. Despite the floor-to-ceiling windows of the glass are very strong, but there is still no wall directly to get down to earth. Because the glass area of the floor windows are relatively large, So it is easy because of material aging, fatigue, corrosion, or other external forces, such as wind, explosions, earthquakes and other impacts, resulting in a rupture . After the glass rupture, the falling fragments are very easy to cause injury to themselves, or pedestrians on the road.
And if it's a wall, I don't think it's a big deal to kick it or hit it, but if it's glass, I wouldn't dare to touch it or push it, even though I know it's very strong. When I have a small child in the future, I'm sure I'll be afraid of him running to the window to play a lot, too.
03. Sight interference. floor-to-ceiling windows because there is no window sill or window sill is very low,and high altitude at a glance, many people stand here, will produce fear of heights, which will lead to dizziness, the whole body nervous feeling. Some people just one stop to the floor-to-ceiling windows, she was physically uncomfortable, said can not be too close, can only be far from the inside to see a little.
04. Harder to clean. Cleaning the glass on the floor windows is a very troublesome thing, in addition to the large glass area, the glass itself is very easy to dirty characteristics, but also make the floor windows need to be cleaned often. And windows can only be washed on one side, the other side requires professionals, wearing safety equipment, to clean.
Only office buildings in the city will be centralized cleaning, the family alone to hire someone else is generally not willing to come, and even if they come, the price is very high.
Final conclusion:If you want to install floor-to-ceiling windows, it all depends on your personal preference, but I personally still recommend that if it is a detached two-story house, it's okay to install floor-to-ceiling windows without worrying about security issues.
But if it is a high-rise bungalow, it is still prudent to consider installing floor-to-ceiling windows, or you can only consider installing floor-to-ceiling windows in one room of the house, so that you can enjoy the wonderful view of the floor-to-ceiling windows, but also to avoid some security problems.
