Design Tips for Floor-to-Ceiling Window
To get the most out of floor-to-ceiling windows, consider these practical and aesthetic tips:
Choose the right placement | Think about the rooms that benefit most from sunlight and views. North-facing windows offer consistent light throughout the day, while east-facing ones bring in the morning sun. Rooms that face the west elevation will receive the afternoon sun. A Rylock Sales Consultant can assist in specifying a high-performance double-glazed low-e Solar Solution to assist with a reduction in radiant heat transfer.
Window frame design | The right frame can truly enhance the look of a space. For a contemporary, minimalist style, choose sleek aluminium frames that won’t compete with your view.
Window furnishings | You can have floor to ceiling windows and maintain your privacy. Consider sheer curtains, motorised blinds or floor-to-ceiling shutters. These options help control light levels while maintaining the elegance of the window itself.
Frame colour | Frame colour is an important floor to ceiling window detail. Rylock’s aluminium frames are hand powder-coated in a selection of 30 standard colours and textures.
Visual balance | Going for bold, full length windows is a big decision and you need to ensure it will complement the rest of the design.
Floor-to-ceiling windows will enhance client lifestyles by filling spaces with beautiful natural light.
