Glass and glazing in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use glass for sliding doors and pool-facing windows, and river lodges and guest houses add large glass frontages. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so sun-facing panes heat up, thermal stress breakage is a real risk for large annealed glass, and solar control glass and film help keep rooms cool. Hard water leaves scale on shower glass. Local glaziers handle repairs, and toughened panes come mostly from Cape Town or Gauteng processors, a long haul that adds to the lead time.
Typical glass roofs and canopies requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: a glass canopy over the front door or a glass-roofed patio next to the braai
- Farms, lodges and guest houses: a glass roof over a lodge dining area, giving shelter but keeping the sky visible
- Shops, restaurants and malls: a glass canopy over a shopfront or covered walkway that keeps shoppers dry
- Offices, clinics and schools: a glass canopy over an office entrance or a skylight above an atrium or reception
- Security and golf estates: a laminated glass roof over a covered entertainment area or architectural entrance walkway
- New builds and developments: overhead glass specified with the engineer before the roof structure and beams are built
