Glass windows do more than just protect you from the elements — they play a key role in your home's overall aesthetic, security, and comfort. A well-chosen window should blend seamlessly with your interior décor, operate smoothly, and provide essential features like secure locking, especially for ground-level units or HDB corridor-facing windows.

If you’re planning a renovation or replacing an old or faulty set of windows, it’s worth exploring the wide range of modern glass window options available today. From sleek sliding windows to versatile folding designs, the right window enhances not only ventilation and lighting but also reflects the lifestyle and personality of the homeowner.

Windows are more than just functional — they make a statement about your space.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Each Glass Window Mechanism

Choosing the right window isn’t just about looks — it’s about function, safety, maintenance, and how well it suits your space. Here’s a quick comparison of the pros and cons of the most common glass window mechanisms used in Singapore homes:

Sliding Glass Windows

Key Factors to Consider for Your Glass Windows

Various types of tinted and clear glass panels commonly used for glass windows in Singapore homes

When choosing a glass window for your home in Singapore, it’s important to look beyond just the window mechanism. Here are key factors to consider:

🔹 Choosing the Right Glass Type For Your Window

The type of glass you choose plays a crucial role in safety, sound insulation, privacy, and heat control. Here are some common options used in Singapore homes:

Normal Clear Glass – A cost-effective option suitable for general use in living areas and common rooms.
Laminated Glass – Made with a safety interlayer, this glass will not shatter into sharp pieces when broken. It is ideal for landed homes or HDB corridor units, offering added protection against break-ins.
Tinted Glass – Reduces heat and glare, making it suitable for sun-facing windows or rooms with strong afternoon light.
Double Glazed Glass – Consists of two glass panes with an insulating air gap, providing excellent soundproofing and thermal insulation.
Wire Mesh Glass – Commonly used in bathrooms, this glass provides added strength and fire resistance, with a textured appearance for privacy.

🔹 Glass Window Frame Colour Options

The frame colour can enhance your interior style. Popular finishes include:

Anodized Bronze
Anodized Silver
Powder-coated White
Powder-coated Black
Custom colours available upon request

🔹 Number of Panels and Width Limitations

The number of glass panels depends on the window type and width of your opening. Proper panel sizing ensures durability and user safety:

Casement, Slide & Swing, and Folding Windows: Max width per panel is 700 mm for safety and easy reach (especially important when no grille is installed).
Sliding Windows: Max width can go up to 1200 mm, but we recommend keeping it below 1000 mm for smoother and longer-lasting roller performance.

🔹 Glass Window Frame Material

You can choose between:

Aluminium – Most common in Singapore; highly durable, rust-resistant, and performs well in hot and humid climates.
uPVC – Also rust-free and offers good insulation but less commonly used in Singapore due to heat sensitivity.

Glass Windows For HDB & BTO Flats

As a Singaporean homeowner, selecting the right glass windows for your HDB or BTO flat is essential to ensure comfort, security, and compliance. Whether you’re upgrading an older HDB resale unit or outfitting a new BTO flat, your windows must meet both functional needs and regulatory standards.

Only BCA-approved window contractors registered with HDB—like Ho Ho—are authorised to carry out aluminium window installation or replacement in HDB flats. Installing non-compliant windows can result in inspection issues or penalties, so it’s crucial to work with experienced, licensed professionals.

For HDB BTO units built after 2009, there are additional restrictions on window frame and glass colours to preserve a consistent exterior façade. This means homeowners cannot customise frame colours as freely as in older resale flats. Instead, pre-approved colours must be used to maintain uniformity across the building’s appearance.

Glass Windows for Condominium & Landed Properties

🔹 Glass Windows Installation Guidelines for Condominiums

Before installing or replacing windows in a condominium, it’s important to check with your MCST (Management Corporation Strata Title). Most MCSTs have specific guidelines on:

Frame and glass colour restrictions to maintain a uniform exterior
Requirement for vendors to be BCA-registered
Mandatory public liability insurance coverage of at least $500,000

At Ho Ho, we are fully BCA-registered and meet all standard MCST requirements. We can assist you with the necessary documentation and ensure a smooth approval and installation process.

🔹 Greater Design Freedom for Landed Properties

For landed homes, homeowners enjoy greater flexibility when it comes to glass window design. We offer a range of premium and specialised window options to suit different architectural styles and functional needs. Whether you're looking for high-end aluminium windows, slide and swing systems, or sound-insulated double glazed panels, we can customise a solution that enhances your property's appearance, comfort, and value.

Complete Your Setup with a Matching Window Grille

At Ho Ho, we offer a wide range of customisable window grilles in aluminium, wrought iron, and mild steel, available in various colours and designs to complement your window frame.
