Glass Options

There’s a common perception that all glass is alike, but in reality, there are significant differences in quality and clarity. Selecting the right glazing options for your home involves considering factors such as lifestyle, climate, noise levels, and window positioning.

Fairview Rodney’s solutions aim to enhance home comfort. When paired with our exceptional windows and doors, optimal insulated glass selection creates a living environment that feels just right throughout the year.

At Fairview Rodney we offer a wide range of glass including energy efficient glass.  Call us on 09 425 7367 today to discuss your specific needs and goals for your build.

Choosing Your Glass

Insulated Glass Units (IGUs): IGUs consist of two or more glass panes separated by a spacer, filled with air or inert gas and sealed around the edges.

R-Value of Glass: This measures the thermal resistance of the entire window system, including glass, spacer, and joinery type. Higher R-values indicate less heat loss through the system, enhancing insulation.

Fairview’s XR Edge Glass Units (IGUs): XR Edge features advanced spacer technology, available in all Fairview windows and doors. Its effectiveness lies in preventing moisture ingress, thus reducing internal condensation and fogging. It also creates a thermal barrier between glass panes, meeting rigorous waterproofing standards.

Choosing the right glass for your IGUS
