Top 5 things homeowners love about getting glass curtains for their balconies

Wondering if Glass Curtains® are any good for your balcony in Singapore? That’s what we’re here to answer today!

Glass Curtains® are a fully retractable glass panel system designed to separate indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly, and without any obstructions.

Continue reading below to learn why homeowners in Singapore love them and why more and more of them are choosing to add them to their homes!

1. Glass Curtains® are durable, built to last

Durability is one of the main reasons homeowners choose to invest in glass curtains over keeping their existing window treatments.

Glass Curtains® are specifically engineered to withstand Singapore’s tropical climate, including high humidity and frequent tropical storms.

When they were first introduced to the Singapore market over a decade ago, manufacturers ensured they were suitable for local homes and weather conditions. This explains why the glass panels are so strong and at least 10mm thick.

On top of that, they have been tested against various internal manufacturing standards for fragmentation, impact resistance, and surface compression. That’s when you know that you likely won’t have to worry about spending money on frequent repairs and maintenance.

2. Glass Curtains® can protect your space from the elements

Thanks to their durable and reinforced build, Glass Curtains® can also serve as a protective barrier against outdoor elements such as strong winds and heavy rains.

Over time, these external elements can cause significant damage to your home if not properly managed, potentially leading to costly structural repairs and negatively impacting your property’s value in the long run.

While they may come with a higher cost at first, they can be seen as a long-term investment that helps maintain (and even increase) your property’s value over time. This is incredibly helpful should you decide to sell it when the time comes.

3. Glass Curtains® can effectively increase your living space

With Glass Curtains®, you can finally make the most of your balcony, especially if you haven’t quite figured out how to utilise it yet. They can transform this outdoor space into an extension of your indoor living space where you can work, dine, hang around, or even host gatherings with family and friends.

Many homeowners particularly appreciate its retractable design, allowing them to modify and adjust their space based on specific occasions or needs.

Should you ever get tired of spending too much time indoors, just head to the balcony, slide open the glass panels, enjoy the breeze, and appreciate the city views.

Or if it’s raining, simply slide the panels shut and stay dry while still enjoying the outdoor atmosphere.

4. Glass Curtains® are thoughtfully designed

Unlike other glass panel systems, Glass Curtains® are bottom-weighted instead of being suspended from the top, allowing for smoother gliding of each glass panel. They’re supported by Teflon strips, which allow for a more stable gliding mechanism that doesn’t make any noise.

Another thoughtful and smart feature is the compensation profile at the bottom, which automatically drains rainwater, so you don’t have to do it yourself. This is especially helpful given Singapore’s frequent rain showers throughout the year.

5. Glass Curtains® help with noise reduction

In a busy, fast-paced city like Singapore, any tool that helps reduce outside noise is already a worthwhile investment.

The thick, durable glass panels are not only built to withstand strong winds and heavy rain, they can also reduce external noise by at least 25dB, creating a quieter and more peaceful indoor living environment for you and everyone else.
