Before we talk about solutions, let's get real about the challenges. In places like Riyadh or Jeddah, a regular window is like a welcome mat for heat: sunlight pours in, infrared rays bake the rooms, and your AC has to work overtime just to keep up. The result? Sky-high electricity bills, stuffy interiors, and a building that feels more like a greenhouse than a home or office.
So what makes a window "hot climate-ready"? It's not just about "being thick." It's about balance: letting in natural light (we all love sunshine!) while blocking the heat, resisting wear and tear from harsh UV rays, and even helping with ventilation on those rare cooler days. For residential building materials supplier and commercial building materials supplier alike, these needs are non-negotiable.
Quick reality check: In Saudi Arabia, buildings account for over 70% of electricity consumption, and windows are responsible for up to 40% of that heat gain. Choosing the right windows isn't just a comfort choice—it's a sustainability imperative.
