Rationel's façade offer extends the composite construction of the windows to elevation-scale glazed assemblies — connected panels working as a single, larger opening rather than a collection of individual windows.

Where façade glazing earns its place

On contemporary houses with a garden or landscape view, façade glazing removes the visual noise of multiple frames abutting each other and lets a single, calm plane of glass carry the elevation.

An alternative worth considering

Where the design leans towards a harder, more industrial expression than composite timber-aluminium will comfortably give, the Jansen steel systems offer a different palette of proportions and details.

Get the supplier involved early

A façade specification benefits from being on the table at the concept stage rather than after the drawings are fixed — profile geometry can influence structure and vice versa.

Editor's note. 5EC can advise on both Rationel façade glazing and the Jansen steel alternative, so the conversation is about the right system rather than the available one.

For readers researching options locally, 5EC's premium line and 5EC's Jansen steel systems are both worth reviewing — both are handled by 5EC, a Stevenage-based authorised supplier working across Hertfordshire.

Detailed technical documentation is available on Rationel's façade solutions.
