Slim Sliding Glass Doors for a Contemporary Garden Extension in Edinburgh Rev W.B. Stevenson’s House is a historic property in Craigcrook, Edinburgh. Built in 1902 to designs by George Washington Browne, the Queen Anne-style house occupies two acres of mature gardens.

A later phase included glazing for a sepa... More

This project features gable end windows in Sutton Colfield as the defining architectural element of a private replacement dwelling on Moor Hall Drive. The rear elevation was conceived as a full‑height glazed gable, contrasting with a more traditionally proportioned frontage while opening the primary living spaces to the garden. Caption Caption Caption Caption IQ Glass worked alongside the architect from early design development through to installation, delivering a coordinated glazing package that integrates sliding doors, hinged doors and frameless balustrades into a single architectural composition.

Woodbury is a contemporary glass extension in the Cotswolds, designed and installed by IQ Glass for a traditional home near Castle Combe. The glazing package combines large sliding openings returning to a clear glass-to-glass fixed corner, a shaped structural-glass gable and a refined entrance composition, all finished in RAL 9005 Matt to sit quietly against the black detailing of the architecture. Photography: Alister Thorpe On the garden elevation, ultra-slim sliding doors provide generous openings and terminate at a clear glass-to-glass fixed corner, with the structural post set back so the junction reads as uninterrupted glass. Because this is a glass extension in the Cotswolds adjoining honey-toned local stone, the interfaces wer... More

Topwood is a new-build coastal home showcasing marine-grade glazing in Salcombe, designed for an exposed salt-air environment. Large-format glazing opens this award-winning house to sun terraces and sea views. The brief was to maximise glass and keep the architecture visually calm while standing up to coastal conditions. All aluminium profiles were finished RAL 7039 Matt (Quartz Grey) with a marine-grade coating, and the envelope was engineered to an assumed site wind load of 1,100 Pa. With a whole-house MVHR strategy, no trickle vents were required, preserving clean sightlines; an approach well suited to marine-grade glazing in Salcombe where uninterrupted views are the priority.
