A facade is the exterior wall or face of a building, and it usually involves design elements like deliberate placement of windows or doors. Depending on architectural style, these elements have a certain order to them. While the word ''facade'' can signify any external wall of a building with a design element, it often refers to the front wall with an entrance. Often, the front facade has more elaborate or special architectural treatment than the rest of the structure. A facade can be imposing, decorative, or rather simple.

Another concern if your glazing faces south is solar gain. Your window supplier should be identifying this and offering the correct level of solar control to your glazing. Modern coatings have very high levels of transparency although some suppliers are still using cheaper reflective coatings. Alternative Solar Shading options include the installation of external automated louvres.

For all the systems, a high level of energy efficiency is always a positive. The systems specify their requirements under different criteria. Building certifiers and developers then implement the requirements in the performance specifications in a way that is specific to the building. As this process depends to a large extent on the building concept and the desired quality level, it is not possible to generalise. Experience shows that our systems are very well suited to certified buildings.

At the end of a building envelope’s usage phase, dismantling and recycling are important. Wood is fundamentally recyclable, and window frames made of wood must be burned or disposed of after a building is dismantled. Old aluminium is used to make new, high-quality profiles as often as required and with a high degree of energy efficiency. Recycled aluminium is therefore a material, resource and energy store for future generations, which can be reused countless times by means of recycling without any reduction in quality or loss of its properties. Overall, the three materials are of almost equal ecological value for windows. PVC-U window systems have economic benefits, whereas aluminum systems have functional and design benefits.
