South Facing Windows

Hi all,

 

We're looking at having an plan kitchen diner extension that will connect out kitchen and back room together. Currently our back room has original 30's French window/doors. It's South facing so when the sun comes out, it's like a green house in there. Which is hand in the winter but almost unbearable in the summer. Would standard double glazing prevent this when it comes to our new extension or is there a new or existing glass that can reflect some of this heat? We'll be going for floor to ceiling windows (approx 11.5ft x 9ft).

 

Many thanks

We have double glazed bifolds south facing... the really do heat up the room on a sunny day.

Go for low E triple glazing. Not much more than standard double but you'll hugely reduce over heating and keep better temps in winter.

So I would do this next time.
