Matching style with comfort in Movable Glass Walls


How to Select Movable Glass Doors


Sliding doors have become a common feature of modern building design.  In addition to Glass doors opening outside, they are being used these days for interior space separation and to connect rooms. While sliding glass panels which glide past each other are used normally for external doors, folding type of doors are also used as per requirement of the building.
Sliding doors add style and aesthetic attraction to any area.  They are highly durable and long lasting especially those fitted with steel sliding mechanisms.  In addition these glass doors provide sound barrier, energy saving and also protection from outside weather and other elements.  In the interior, they can also be used to divide large spaces without making it appear smaller. 

Here are some tips for purchasing Movable Glass Doors.

The new Monarch Glass Wall System


Evolution of Sliding Glass Walls


Pool House Glass Wall Design
Traditional walls can make a room seem confining and small. There seemed to be no alternative to the solid wall until now. Monarch Moveable Glass Walls has come to the rescue. Long gone are the stuffy and  limiting walls. Behold, the innovative full glass sliding system. Finally a breakthrough that will change they way we look at our working and living spaces.

The beauty of this system is the individually sliding glass panels without the vertical frames. This allows the eye to view the surroundings without the impediment of a frame. Personally, I feel that the frames makes the space seem to look more industrial. Out of date framing is a reminder of the structure and not of the beauty of the view. Without the frame there is a flow to the space. It gives the space a larger and cleaner look.

I think that Monarch Moveable Glass Walls  should be commended for designing a system which meets the requirements of modern, lightweight and transparent architecture. It is always a challenge to make smaller spaces appear larger.  This system could give even the smallest of floor plans that open and airy feel.

I believe that the feature that people will appreciate most is that it is both easy and fast to assemble and install. This system is unique in that its flat bottom rail solution and the absence of a threshold would allow easy access to a terrace.

Previously the use of glass in the construction of buildings was limited.  It is becoming a  more widely used core structural and design element in many homes and businesses. The use of glass allows natural lighting and also brings in the natural indoor/outdoor flow. This not only brings in tranquility but adds value to your home or business.

Modern day architecture trends has elevated the way in which we think of using glass. It is now not thought of just for windows and sliding doors but it is now used as a major design component in its own right.

Why Choose Monarch Sliding Glass Wall Systems


Why Monarch Movable Glass Walls are Preferred by Builders


Monarch Movable Glass Walls and Conservatories have already established the reputation as a company which has introduced innovative ideas in using glass in buildings.  The different products of the company including glass walls have already become an integral part of many modern buildings.

The concept of integrating open areas into the internal space has been prevalent even during the renaissance period. Outside extensions with plants were provided for rooms even in buildings of that time.  This concept is also used in modern architecture using glass walls to extend the internal space beyond the limitations of the room.  Movable glass walls by Monarch have innovated this concept to seamlessly integrate internal and external spaces.
Monarch Glass Walls is the leading firm in Canada for providing solutions in glass.  The advances made by the company in this regard are evident from the creative use of glass for commercial and residential use displayed by the company in the 2012 National Home Show.  The company is the major producer of bi-folding glass walls which has become a part of modern interior designing in Canada.

Monarch Sliding Glass Walls are being used in Office spaces and business areas so that space can be expanded and adjusted according to requirements.  Several restaurants have also opted for these moving Glass Walls to enable them to integrate the outside patios as part of their dining space whenever required. 

You can use Monarch Glass to integrate outdoor experience with the indoors and create a sunny outdoor area which is climate controlled.  When it is sunny and pleasant outside, the Monarch glass wall can simply move out of the way to bring in light and air.  Then, when the weather conditions change these glass walls can simply close in making you secure and insulated from the outside weather conditions.  These glass walls also give the luxury of enjoying the nature in air conditioned comfort, protected from insects and flies.

Monarch Glass has innovative designs which can add to the aesthetic appeal of any residential building. The Glass walls can be customized to perfectly blend with the architectural theme of the building while allowing you to enjoy outside scenery.  These Movable Glass Wall concepts are currently being adopted in many of the lake front houses to have unhindered view of the natural beauty without compromising on the protection you will need during adverse climatic conditions.
