Q1 is a natural time for businesses to review last year’s performance, their current budgets, and the efficiency of their building for the year ahead.
“With rising energy costs, tightening regulations, and increasing pressure to reduce operational overheads, it’s vital that your building works for you, not against you.”
Commercial glazing is often overlooked as a means of cutting down on energy costs and improving the performance of a building. Installing the right system will make a huge difference.
BDC Aluminium is a trusted supplier of high-performance commercial glazing systems designed for long-term value.

The Secret to Energy-Efficient Commercial Buildings
A ‘thermal break’ is a non-conductive barrier within an aluminium frame that reduces heat transfer between inside and outside. Older systems likely don’t feature such technology and could be letting out valuable heat.
For commercial buildings, thermal performance is very important. Poorly insulated glazing systems lead to higher heating costs in the winter, increased cooling costs in the summer and issues with condensation.
Aluminium and thermal breaks combine work cohesively to offer strength, desirable slim sightlines and necessary durability. The incorporation of thermal breaks ensures that the strength of our systems isn’t achieved at the expense of energy efficiency.
Their impressive performance and our refusal to compromise on any aspect make our thermally broken aluminium systems ideal for offices, retail units, schools, healthcare facilities and more.
Why Modern Glazing is a Strategic Business Investment for 2026
While high-performance aluminium glazing might come with a higher up-front cost than older systems, it’s the total cost of ownership that really matters. Our products at BDC Aluminium are a long-term investment and should be viewed as such.
You’ll notice an improvement in quality from the day of installation, but the real monetary value comes in the long term. Thanks to our durable aluminium construction, our systems are low maintenance and withstand the test of time. This means you’ll pay less often for costly fixes or for the total replacement of older, weaker systems.
