Blur the boundary between inside and out with our panoramic windows. Creating uninterrupted views spanning walls, these modern fronts become an eye-catching centrepiece that increase both curb appeal and building value. Whether you want to strengthen a connection with nature, maximise natural light, or make a house feel larger, Neuffer will work with you to craft a bespoke solution in the material, size, and shape of your choice.
Different Options for Panoramic Windows
Panoramic windows can come in different forms depending on structural requirements and customer preferences. To achieve maximum security, for example, and provide the most open views out, a large, fixed picture window can be ideal. At Neuffer we can manufacture products in custom dimensions with particularly generous width and heights available within our minimum and maximum ranges – just contact us to find out more today.
Panoramic windows can also be designed to flow around corners. A particularly modern example of this is to opt for our glass-on-glass corner. Available for aluminium windows, a seamless corner is created that has wide picture windows create a cinematic view out. Alternatively, we then also offer a corner constructed using couplings. This has a slim central frame but can still allow panoramic windows to cross walls, bringing in much light while creating a harmonious connection between inside and out.
Purpose-designed Glazing for Insulation, Soundproofing, & Security
Because the majority of a panoramic window's surface consists of glass, the quality and make-up of this glazing also plays a considerable role in terms of the product's final performance. Thermal insulation is a good example of this. Thanks to our standard double or triple glazing consisting of multiple glass panes and filled with inert, dense argon gas, energy loss via conduction is reduced. A low-e coating on the glass' surface then reflects solar radiation. This all helps to keep interiors warm during colder periods and cool when it's hot outside, leading to savings on energy bills.
As well as thermal energy, windows can also be insulated in terms of sound. Here, asymmetrically thick panes as well as an invisibly integrated "silence foil" can slow the travel of sound waves. In terms of maximum soundproofing, noise reduction class 5 can be achieved with sound reduced by 45 dB. This is recommended for buildings located up to 300 m from an airport. Panoramic windows with large, glazed surfaces can therefore ensure peaceful interiors, wherever they may be installed.
Thanks to a construction that works in a similar way to the foil used in noise reduction glazing, our panoramic windows can also feature glass that has been designed with enhanced security in mind. To strengthen the large surfaces against both intruders and high winds, the glazing can be laminated and tempered. Here, the glass' flexibility is increased and invisible PVB foil interlayers are added during manufacturing. This makes the glass thicker and harder to break. If the surface does crack though due to very high force, the glass won't shatter out and rather remains held on the intact foil. This foil then requires specialist tools to tear through.
Multiple Window Sashes & Doors
As an alternative to a fixed picture model, panorama windows can also feature three sashes with mullion bars separating them. This adds traditional design and can increase the structure's sturdiness, making the largest of dimensions stable. A triple sash window is particularly flexible because, depending on its size, all elements can be fixed but may also be configured to open separately from one another. All three sashes could be fitted with a tilt and turn opening, for example, or rather one could be fixed, another tiltable, and the third equipped with tilt and turn – many customisable combinations are possible. The different openings, from tilting inwardly ajar by 15° to turning open into the interior, can be set by moving the handle into different positions. Motorised options are then available for windows installed particularly high up.
When it comes to panoramic windows, it is worth noting that if customers are after an operable glass front that extends from the floor to the ceiling, one of our French doors or full width sliding patio doors may be a more suitable option. French doors are ideal for balconies, for example, and can feature the multiple sashes and openings described above. Patio doors, on the other hand, can come in larger dimensions and systems such as our glass on glass bifold opening can fully fold away to make for a flat threshold and very generous panoramic opening.
Choose between High-quality Frame Materials
At Neuffer panorama windows can come with frames made from different materials. The choice of this material will not only impact the product's final appearance but will also play a role in determining functional characteristics. No frame option is necessarily better than another – rather customer priorities and preferences will play the largest role in the decision. We offer the following materials for panoramic windows:
When it comes to uPVC, this is a modern, innovative material featuring built-in chambers filled with air. This makes for high energy efficiency because energy loss via conduction through the window profile is slowed. uPVC frames also tend to be relatively affordable and are easy to clean thanks to their smooth surfaces.
When deciding on a single frame material becomes tricky, our aluminium uPVC or aluminium clad wood options can be the ideal solution. Constructed with external metal cladding coating a timber or uPVC core that still shows on the inside, these composite frames bring together the benefits of two materials. The charm or insulation of wood or uPVC can be felt, for example, while the cladding adds protection against the elements and potential intruders alike.
To add a more traditional touch, our timber frames bring a warm charm. Available in different woods, from larch to oak, meranti to eucalyptus, and more, unique grain patterns and textures create a high-end look while inherent sturdiness is a given.
For customers after higher weather-resistance and durability, we then offer aluminium. Naturally robust and anodised during manufacturing, the metal is anti-rust and won't corrode. It also provides excellent break-in protection thanks to durable impact-resistance.
Craft Bespoke Design with Our Finishes & Add-ons
At Neuffer we offer a wide variety of options to have products beautifully complement or contrast with different interiors and house façades. Panorama window frames can be coated in a chosen colour or decor during manufacturing via professional powder-coating or foiling, for example. Durable, UV-resistant finishes, such as aluplast's aludec or woodec that authentically replicate a timber or metal exterior in both look and texture are available, as well as RAL base colours, such as classic white or deep anthracite. When it comes to wooden frames, these can also feature different water-based varnishes to perfect the tone – just contact us to discuss all the options today.
From additional glazing bars, sun protection, and a variety of handles, our team is on hand to answer any questions or provide an initial consultation. They will work to find the best solution to match your project's needs, budget, and style. Once details are finalised, we can offer a final price with agreed shipping arrangements and additionally assist with a logistics broker or different installation options.
From wide modern architecture in New York to capturing ocean views in New Zealand or framing cityscapes in Paris, our experience is extensive and our scope wide.
