REVIEW AND EVALUATE ALTERNATIVES

1. Single Glazed Glass

Since the structure is located on a subdivision, there are limited vehicles passing. The double
glazing is intended for heat and sound proofing. Instead, single glazed glass can be used because
the house is already fully airconditioned and noise is not an issue considering the place.
2. Tanguile Wood
Known as Philippine Mahogany, it has a beautiful, reddish sheen that stands out when used on
doors, cabinetry, and furniture pieces. Used as a substitute for Narra because of its cheaper
cost. When it comes to treatability, just like Narra, Tanguile is fungi and termite resistant.
