We help you interpret glazing proposals from contractors: coating types, cavity fills, and framing that reduces cold bridges at the sill where plants and toes meet.
Solar control versus winter gain
South courtyards need solar management to avoid baking lounge seats. North extensions need every lumen. Coatings are not interchangeable; we map them to your façade.
Frames and thresholds
Slim sightlines please the eye but can weaken insulation. We balance aesthetics with thresholds that accept wheeled plant trays without smashing seals.
Roof glass
Overhead glazing demands condensation plans and shade. We discuss blinds integrated in the roof versus external screens that handle snow load realities.
Maintenance access
Helsinki soot and pollen film glass. Specify cleaning access before furniture locks the layout. We leave walk paths in planting plans for washers.
Acoustic coatings matter near busy Helsinki streets, yet they can shift colour perception of plants. We review glass samples with both a leaf and a textile in daylight so you see the real cast before locking the order.
