Glass and glazing in Cape Town
Cape Town mixes mountain, sea and wine-country weather, so glass is used differently by suburb. Atlantic Seaboard homes and apartments face salt, wind and sea views with frameless balustrades and large sliding or stacking doors. Southern Suburbs and Constantia have big gardens, pools and Cape Dutch houses, and Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Observatory carry timber sash windows. Winter rain and damp make double glazing popular, and heritage and body-corporate rules affect many changes. The CBD and Waterfront drive office and retail glazing. The metro has several glass processors and merchants, so toughened and laminated panes can be made locally and delivered across the Peninsula, Winelands and West Coast.
Typical glass roofs and canopies requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes and holiday flats: a glass roof over a beach-side patio, with fittings and sealants made for salt air
- Apartments and complexes: a glass canopy over a ground-floor patio or a skylight in a top-floor flat
- Security and golf estates: a laminated glass roof over a covered entertainment area or architectural entrance walkway
- Family homes: a glass canopy over the front door or a glass-roofed patio next to the braai
- Offices, clinics and schools: a glass canopy over an office entrance or a skylight above an atrium or reception
- Shops, restaurants and malls: a glass canopy over a shopfront or covered walkway that keeps shoppers dry
