   Amazing Glaze


Glazing, which derives from the Middle English for 'glass', is a part of a wall or
window, made of glass.Glazing also describes the work done by a professional "glazier ". Glazing is also (less commonly) used to describe the insertion of ophthalmic lenses into an eyeglass frame.




Good glazing properties are important because they control the amount of daylight, quality of light, and amount of solar heat gain let into the building, along with other factors. They very much determine the thermal comfort and visual comfort of a space.

Today it is evident that our contemporary societal beauty is presented in some exquisite and aesthetically designed frame and structure engraved on glasses used in making doors and windows. these designs are common in developed countries where there are institutions and facilities  that provides enabling environment for innovating brilliant glaze structures which brings beauty out of edice and architectural structures.


Common types of glazing that are used in architectural applications include clear and tinted float glass, tempered glass, and laminated glass as well as a variety of coated glasses, all of which can be glazed singly or as double, or even triple, glazing units. Ordinary clear glass has a slight green tinge but special colorless glasses are offered by several manufacturers.
Glazing can be mounted on the surface of a window sash or door stile , usually made of wood , aluminium or PVC. The glass is fixed into a rabbet (rebate) in the frame in a number of ways including triangular glazing points,
putty , etc. Toughened and laminated glass can be glazed by bolting panes directly to a metal framework by bolts passing through drilled holes.
Glazing is commonly used in low temperature solar thermal collectors because it helps retain the collected heat.



Fenestration is any opening in the building envelope. When that opening is covered with a translucent or transparent surface (like windows or skylights), that’s called glazing.
Three of the most important properties of the materials, coatings, and constructions that make up windows, skylights, translucent panels, or other products used to let sunlight into a building include
1. Thermal conductance (U-value)
2. Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)
3. Visible Light Transmittance (VT)
Appropriate values for glazing properties vary by climate, size, and placement of the aperture. There is no one best kind of glazing to use. It's not unusual for a single building to have three, four, or even five different kinds of glazing for apertures in different sides and at different heights on a building.



Adaptive Properties
Some advanced glazing systems can change their visible light transmittance, solar heat gain coefficient, and other properties.
Liquid crystal windows change from clear to frosted or dark when a voltage is applied by a control system, improving their privacy but not changing their solar heat gain.
Thermochromic coatings turn from clear to dark at high temperatures (generally when struck by direct sunlight), reducing their VT and SHGC.
Photochromic coatings turn from clear to dark when struck by light; many sunglasses use this feature.
Electrochromic coatings change from clear to dark when a voltage is applied by a control system, also reducing their VT and SHGC.
Light distribution angles are the direction that light is transmitted into the building. Ordinary windows let light travel straight through, while advanced glazing units may bounce the light to different angles, or spread it diffusely through the room. This is usually especially important for skylights.


Condensation can occur in glazing units when there is a large temperature difference from inside to outside. In addition to being unsightly, this can cause mold and mildew, which is detrimental to indoor air quality. Good glazing units control condensation.


 Acoustic damping is valuable, since glazing generally transmits more sound than walls. Noise can be problematic for buildings in noisy locations. Some glazing units have better acoustic damping than others, particularly multi-pane constructions that use different glass thicknesses and layers of different material in their framing.

                           BRITISH BUILT SATELLITE LAUNCHES FROM RUSSIA SPACEPORT A British-built pollution monitoring satellite has been  launched into the orbit . It broke free of Earth's gravity well while riding a modified Russian rocket designed to deliver a nuclear payload from near Moscow to the US mainland during the Cold War. As part of the European Commission and European Space Agency's (ESA) Copernicus project, the Dutch-designed satellite will map the distribution of harmful gases and aerosols in the atmosphere. Named Sentinel-5P, the spacecraft successfully launched at 10.27am UK time from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome - a Russian spaceport 500 miles (800km) north of Moscow. It rapidly disappeared into the thick autumn clouds near the Arctic Circle Described as a "precursor satellite mission" by the ESA, Sentinel-5P will "fill in the data gap and provide data continuity between the retire...
