we are building a new home in the country and want lots of glass doors and windows to capture awesome views. But is there such a thing as using too much glass? is there a limit and what is the best way to clean them?
Regarding cleaning buy a karcher window cleaner , it’s the best for any glass, spray , wipe and vacuum off, cleans streak free every time, so fast and fun too.
You will have limits on fire safety. It also makes furniture layout more tricky, thinks like TVs etc. look carefully at view and frame them, Make sure you do furniture layouts and even thinks like heating and cooling and electrical. Then think about window coverings, Windows are much more expensive than walls too.
"Too much" glass can also cause concerns for energy efficiency. We are trying to build on a rural property with great views and wanted to take it all in with big windows etc. We've had major problems getting the plans passed and had to reduce the size (or remove completely) some windows just to pass the Basix report before we could even submit plans to council.
