• Initially, aluminum profiles are painted in white color. However, at the request of the customer you can make them tolder One of the more than one and a half hundred shades according to the RAL catalog, which will also affect the final price of frameless design.
• Self glass It may not only be transparent, but also focused on mass or even mirror - and, accordingly, more expensive.
• The price is dependent and glass thicknesswhich can be from 6 to 12 mm. The glass itself is selected based on the height on which "climbing" is mounted. The higher the floor, the more significant the wind loads on the design - therefore, the glass thickness should increase as height increases.
• Construction complexity - An important component of the cost. With the same glazing area, the cost of rectilinear design and design with complex geometry will differ significantly. This happens not only because of the increase in the complexity of the installation, but also due to more expense components.
• Since the frameless design does not close an apartment or a house from prying eyes, at the request of the customer can be mounted jalousieWhat will also increase the cost.
