High / Glazed Facade (Large floor-to-ceiling tracking windows) — Illustrative diagram

High / Glazed Facade (Large floor-to-ceiling tracking windows) is a building-planning choice included in the Price Your Build estimator. It can affect window and door allowance, solar gain, shading and thermal performance.

What this option means

Sets glazing calculation by window area; frame material is selected separately. Sets glazing calculation to evaluate windows at 40% of external walls.

Why it affects the estimate

The estimator uses this selection to apply an appropriate allowance. Actual requirements depend on the final design, site conditions, supplier selection and contractor scope.

Before proceeding

  • Confirm glazing areas, orientation, ventilation, shading and any energy-compliance requirements.
  • Compare the final specification and inclusions against quotations before appointing a contractor.
