As a restaurant owner, you're in the business to create a memorable dining experience for your guests. In today's competitive environment, it may however be difficult to differentiate your restaurant from all the other ones near-by. One way to achieve this, however, is by incorporating a custom retractable glazing solution for your patio space... because as we know, the restaurant patio is the place to be, so why not make the most of it!

As the weather starts to warm up and the days get longer, many of us are eager to spend more time outdoors. One of the best ways to enjoy the spring weather is by spending time on your patio or porch. But what if you could take your outdoor experience to the next level? Enter retractable glass walls. Retractable glass walls are a relatively new addition to outdoor design, but they’re quickly gaining popularity for their ability to transform any outdoor space. These walls are made up of glass panels that can be opened and closed, allowing you to create a completely open or enclosed space. Here are just a few ways that retractable glass walls can help you enjoy spring better: They Let You Enjoy the Outdoors While Staying Comfortable One of the biggest challenges of spending time outdoors in the spring is dealing with unpredictable weather. One minute it’s sunny and warm, and the next minute it’s raining or chilly. Retractable glass walls give you the flexibility to enjoy your outdoor space no matter what the weather is like. On warm, sunny days, you can open up the walls and enjoy a breeze. If it gets too hot, you can close them up and turn on the air conditioning. If it starts to rain, you can quickly and easily close the walls to stay dry. They Create a Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Space Retractable glass walls blur the line between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a seamless transition between the two. This is especially useful if you like to entertain guests.

One of the benefits of seamless retractable glazing is that you do not need to worry about compromising on making the most of daylight. In the winter, the need for sunlight can be heightened... so one thing is for sure: we do not want an outdoor structure that limits the amount of natural light coming in even more! With a few more winter months ahead of us, let's not get discouraged: spring is on the way. 

The installation of retractable or sliding glass walls significantly improves the usability of a variety of different kinds of spaces! The spaces where the transformational difference will most likely be most notable is in outdoor spaces, as the addition of glazing enables the use of the space so extensively. The seamlessness of the glass design also ensures that the original character of the space is not lost. 

There are two options to choose from when deciding how you wish the Lumon Glazing to work: sliding (LGS) or retracting (LGR). Both options are frameless, giving a clear and unobstructed view of the outdoors. While one slides and stacks up on tracks, the other retracts and opens completely next to a wall. Both are excellent options, both are high-end quality - Our experts will help you choose the best option to fit the project needs. You can choose one option or a combination of both.

The warm seasons are long past. Backyard barbecue get-togethers are practically non-existent and the patio furniture is masked by vinyl coverings, crudely draped over with no regard to the aesthetics or function of the space. Even if an odd day marked by sunshine were to occur, the hassle of setting up the patio's elements prevents you from even going outside. You decide that this needs to change and that extra bit of square footage is not a luxury, but a necessity. 

Perhaps you have been dreaming of a glazed outdoor space, or maybe you have a vision planned out in your mind already - ready to be executed. Perhaps in addition, you've been scrolling through blog posts, home design magazines, and social media posts to bring your inspiration to life. The ideas may be endless, but you might be asking yourself: does it really matter where I purchase my glazing from? Why should I buy them specifically from Lumon? 

Do you already have an existing patio cover, and are thinking how you can make more use out of your outdoor space? Adding sliding or retractable glass walls can be a way to significantly extend patio season, so that you can enjoy activities you love on the patio almost all year round. 

It has been a while since the Covid-19 pandemic had us locked inside, away from our normal routines, leaving us to our creativity to enjoy ourselves. During this period of time, many of our clients sent in photos and videos of themselves utilizing their balcony glazing, whether it was dancing, doing yoga, or building forts with their children. You can see this documented in Spain below.

When autumn winds start blowing, many of us move our outdoor furniture indoors and say farewell to outdoor living until the next year. Moving furniture back and forth from the storage to the outdoor space may become a redundant task after some time, and it seems to only be followed by a spring-clean up for the patio or balcony.
