Sometimes children cry and whine, sometimes they kick and scream. One day, they can have a meltdown in the middle of a crowded mall. Other days, they continue to climb over the back of the couch even after being told repeatedly to stop. Usually, we tend to focus on tantrums as bad behaviour and fail to see the underlying reasons. Could it be a sensory overload from the florescent lights? Or is there an unmet need related to the environment?
Better Environment, Better Behaviour
For parents who are challenged by daily power struggles, dealing with meltdowns or sibling rivalry, and do not know what to do anymore, there is hope! It is a good idea to take a look at what’s going on in the home environment – an easily overlooked area that can be the key to regaining control as a parent. Alongside consistent discipline techniques, having plenty of natural light and fresh air at home can lead to better levels of social behaviour and well-being. Setting up a Montessori inspired peace corner also encourages more mindfulness and a more collaborative parent-child relationship. Last but not least, reducing clutter and having more open spaces can help children feel more relaxed and less stressed out.
Take Full Advantage of Your Space with Glass Curtains®
However, with most families living in smaller apartments these days, providing children with a nurturing physical space becomes more of a challenge. While it’s not an option to build an extension in an apartment, most have a balcony that’s waiting to be transformed. But is it really possible to repurpose the balcony and create a living space that inspires better children behaviour?
The answer lies in one space-saving solution that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing – reclaiming balcony space with Glass Curtains®.
The answer lies in one space-saving solution that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing – reclaiming balcony space with Glass Curtains®. Glass Curtains® is a fully retractable enclosure for balconies that can convert that unused space into an all-year-round balcony oasis with endless possibilities. This unique innovation secured an exclusive European patent and is designed for easy everyday usage, maximum security and durability. It relies on toughened glass units and a maintenance-free Teflon Transport System to bring families a multitude of benefits.
Glass Curtains® is a fully retractable enclosure for balconies that can convert that unused space into an all-year-round balcony oasis with endless possibilities.
Benefit #1: Increase Living Space
With Glass Curtains®, the balcony transforms into a practical space that gives families more usable square footage to carve out multifunctional play areas for children to enjoy. The seamless integration creates a bigger open space that can serve as an additional play area, creativity corner or quiet nook. With more dedicated spaces at home, children can learn how to modulate the effect of positive and negative feelings, how to control their impulses, and in some cases how to reduce aggressive behaviour.
Benefit #2: Unobstructed Views Illuminated with Natural Light
With no unsightly frames between the slimline glass panels, Glass Curtains® offers an endless gaze of the horizon. It floods the living space with rays of sunlight, giving apartment dwellers a boost of positive energy. Knowing that the human brain receives stimuli from the environment, creating a home environment that is illuminated with plenty of natural light contributes to lower parenting stress, stronger parent-child relationship and better outcomes for children.
Benefit #3: Maximum Safety and Protection
Most are unaware that air pollutants can also affect the brain and be connected to behavioural changes, particularly for children. The installation of Glass Curtains® ensures families are protected from such harmful elements. It also makes the balcony extremely resistant to strong winds, noise and storms. Parents can rest assured that children can move around freely and safely as this glass enclosure can prevent fatal falls from high-rise apartments.
Great Design for Everyday Life

The Glass Curtains® system is embedded with features that integrates functionality and elegance. |
|
Reduce Noise and Watertight Glass Curtains® can reduce the intensity of outside traffic noise from 80dB to around 60Db, which is equivalent to the noise level of soft background music. ASTM Water Penetration tests showed that Glass Curtains® was effective in keeping interiors dry even under heavy rainy conditions. |
|
Minimal Visual Impact with No Turning Arm The frameless glass panels inserted into ultra-slim aluminium top and bottom profiles make Glass Curtains® virtually invisible. Unlike unattractive traditional installations that requires a turning arm, Glass Curtains® slide, swing and stack neatly to the side. This saves space and allows for curtains or blinds to be added alongside the system. |
|
Maintenance-Free Teflon Transport System No oiling and replacement parts are required thanks to a maintenance-free Teflon Transport System. It eliminates the need for rubber wheels that can degrade, or ball bearings, which can rust and have sliding friction. Every installation comes with a 5-year full warranty. |
|
Bottom-Weighted on Aluminium Tracks The tracks are temporarily surface mounted and made out of high-grade aluminium for added strength and durability. The glass panels sit sturdily with the weight on the bottom of the tracks, making Glass Curtains® an incredibly steady and secure product. |
|
Flexible Flying Door™ Opening System Another unique innovation is the Flying Door™ opening system. Users have the option to open the glass panels completely for full ventilation or some panels can be left in place for partial a wind break. They swing inwards or outwards for safe and easy cleaning. |
|
Safe and Sturdy Glass Curtains® are crafted from 10mm thick, tempered glass that are tested for impact performance, surface compression and fragmentation. A sidelock system is also available to provide additional safety for children and pets. |
|
Available in Different Configurations There is a customised solution for every home. Glass Curtains® can accommodate a wide variety of configurations – straight, angled or curved – and up to 3m in height. |
Every Glass Curtains® system is custom fitted by highly trained specialists to meet the modern requirements of individual families.
