How to Select Glass for Buildings
Glass selection is an art of designers which requires vast knowledge on wide spectrum of skills varying from material sciences, energy impact, fabrications, practical aspects etc. Our Glass Experts has in-depth knowledge in right choice of glass selection. With the introduction of numerous products that comes to building construction on every day basis, the designers have to have to global connect with international expertise, familiar with other regions, up to date on latest trends and technologies. These skills may lead to help the clients and the architects to find the right glass for their buildings and be proud and pleased with their right choice of glass once building completed.
Choosing glass for buildings involves considering factors like insulation, solar control, safety, and aesthetics. Assess your climate, desired energy efficiency, and architectural style. Low-E coatings can enhance insulation, while tinted or reflective glass helps with solar control. Ensure safety through tempered or laminated glass, and consider the visual appeal of the glass in relation to building’s design
Technical Knowledge
Floods of Technical jargon but know how to wade through these without just carried away by the supply chain claims and marketing. Good in-house knowledge on the whole selection process right from design, performance simulations, energy efficiencies, reading data, comparing, and evaluating various products.

In depth knowledge in visual impact and end user perspectives
Understanding Performances
Good understanding on performances, limitations, visual characteristics of glass products, helps in selecting right products. BES uses advanced simulation tools, techniques to optimize natural daylights, achieve energy efficiency, thermal comforts, and arrive at appropriate glazing designs and glass specifications
Performances are arrived based on detailed analysis, not just on thumb rules or assumptions
Inexperienced Procurement Leads to Defects & Failures
Even with significant design experience, project teams often face challenges in ensuring façade quality and performance. These issues typically arise from gaps in understanding key aspects of the glass and façade industry, including:
- Limited insight into how the glass and façade supply chain operates.
- Inadequate understanding of available products, performance limits, and manufacturing tolerances.
- Overreliance on supplier specifications without critical technical validation.
- Difficulty ensuring a true “like-for-like” comparison between competing product options.
- Lack of verification processes to confirm compliance — i.e., specification versus actual material supplied.
A well-informed procurement and design review process is essential to avoid costly post-installation defects and performance failures.
Practical Experiences in Glass Engineering
Extensive hands-on experience in façade and glass engineering enables effective management of on-site challenges and ensures superior project outcomes. A deep understanding of manufacturing processes, international standards, fabrication tolerances, and glass processing techniques allows for precise control over quality and performance. Strong technical and practical knowledge is essential during the glass selection and finalization stages—helping achieve the desired architectural vision while maintaining compliance, durability, and aesthetic excellence.
