Glass wall

8 years ago

What type of glass and seals did you use to maintain climate control in the cellar? Would you recommend a glass wall in comparison to full exterior doors? Thanks!

Thank you for your inquiry and interest in our wine cellar project! The glass walls shown in the image were installed by the client's local glass company. The issue with frameless glass is that it is not insulated and frameless glass doors do not provide a tight seal, allowing air to escape from the cellar. This can cause condensation to form on the glass and the system to work harder to maintain the cool temperature in the space.

We prefer to install a series of insulated glass panels/doors to provide the view into the cellar while ensuring a higher R-value and a properly sealed door.

Cool space. Many in US are closing in the upper volumes and creating media or game rooms so they can justify the heat and air bills with usable space. A less expensive alternative may be high tech UV window films or shades.

I take it this isn't your bathroom. The glass could be handmade lead light which means bespoke by someone who makes lead light windows or it could be a transfer applied to a plain glass window. Check on ebay or online sticker/transfer stores for similar. I've never seen a piece like that in Australia so I'm thinking this might be an American antique. It's not normal to put an expensive antique piece in a bathroom and if you did it would be best in a bathroom that only has minimal use. And you would want to have a lot of good exhaust extraction to get rid of moisture. If you picked up one of those repro Indonesian mahogany pieces you would be spending a lot less money and might regard the piece as expendable. You can buy wood hardening sprays that resist moisture from the hardware store and spray the carcass (all the unstained pieces inside) with this stuff to resist moisture. You'd still need a good exhaust system however and keep the room well aired.

Looks like a big empty room. Is it? Instead of highlighting the wall what about a glass table with a vase or art on top as your focal point?

Beside the sequence of events, you need to know the timeline as in how long for each stage. Start selecting your tiles and sanitary wares for your kitchen and toilets as it will take sometime to agree (I am assuming you have to discuss with your family) on the colors and design of the tiles, the type of taps, mixers etc. Also think about where you want to locate your switches and lightings. If you are getting refrigerator with auto ice maker, you need to decide the position as well so your contractor put a water and power point near it. All these take a lot time for decision when you have a few persons to discuss and decide. Dun get into a situation where your contractor tells you they are waiting for you to get to the next stage and put the delay to you and you will be forced to make hasty decisions. Good luck and hope you have a beautiful home when it completes.
