Decorative borders on insulated glazing units (IGUs) not only enhance the visual appeal of rooflights but also play a crucial role in their functionality. At Roof Maker, we understand that the details matter, and our approach to decorative borders is designed to add both style and durability to your home.
What are Decorative Borders?
Decorative borders are thin, aesthetic enhancements placed around the edge of IGUs. They serve a dual purpose:
- Concealing spacer bars and IGU seals to provide a cleaner look.
- UV Protection: The borders shield the IGU seals from UV radiation, preventing degradation and maintaining the unit’s integrity over time.
This results in a more polished appearance and extends the lifespan of the rooflight.
The Benefits of Integrated Decorative Borders
Unlike borders that are merely painted on, Roof Maker’s decorative borders are integrated directly into the glass during the toughening process. This permanent integration offers numerous benefits:
- Durability: Integrated borders are impervious to delamination and moisture ingress, conditions that can degrade painted borders.
- Aesthetic Appeal: With a seamless integration into the glass, these borders provide a sleek, minimalist finish that enhances the architectural beauty of any space.
The Manufacturing Process
At Roof Maker, each IGU is crafted with precision in our UK facilities, ensuring every unit meets our high standards of quality and durability. The decorative borders are fused into the glass at high temperatures during the toughening process, making them a permanent part of the glass pane. This method not only ensures robustness but also aligns with our commitment to excellence as evidenced by our “Made In Britain” certification – a testament to quality and local craftsmanship.
Visual Aesthetics and Practical Design
The clean, precise lines of our decorative borders accentuate the modern aesthetics of our rooflights. By integrating the borders during manufacturing, we ensure that each rooflight achieves a balance of form and function, designed to meet the exacting standards of today’s homeowners.
Roof Maker’s decorative borders are more than just design features; they are a testament to our dedication to quality and innovation in rooflight manufacturing. By choosing Roof Maker, you choose a product that excels in both performance and appearance, backed by the craftsmanship and reliability of a proud British manufacturer.
