We pride ourselves on our technical innovation and engineering excellence. At the heart of much of what we provide is our unique concealed frame glass technology.
This enables us to provide our clients with completely flush planes of glass with no protruding frames. All framework is laminated between the the panes of glass and hidden from view with a perimeter paint band that can be specified in any colour.
Redesdale Road, Chelsea
The new owner of this end terrace wanted to create additional living space and bring more natural light into the new kitchen and dining area in the basement. Working directly with the client we achieved this by designing a glass spiral stair within a glass box, with sliding concealed-frame doors giving access to the garden.
We also designed and installed a powered rooflight to make the previously under-utilised roof terrace easily accessible.
Tukal, New Forest
This new-build house was constructed for a disabled client. UK Glass were called in to complete the glazing contract on behalf of another specialist who was, unfortunately, unable to fulfil the design brief.
The work involved the design and installation, to a curved facade, of a faceted array of our concealed-frame sliding doors and windows. We specifically designed handles and actuators made for operation by a wheelchair user.
Acacia Way, Sidcup
This stunning, bespoke glazed extension was designed, engineered and installed by UK Glass at the home of the Managing Director of a leading London Development Management Consultancy.
The work includes a frontage of over-sized, double-glazed, laminated glass sections, interspersed with UK Glass’ unique, frameless double-glazed sliding, pivoting and folding doors. In addition to these doors, we also designed and engineered in house a bespoke glass staircase.
Glass Floors & Walkways.
Structural glass floors are not only stunning from a design perspective, but also fulfil an important practical purpose – allowing light to permeate a structure. We regularly design and install glass walk-on floors and bridges along with glass staircases and roof lights, for precisely this purpose.
A major challenge can be the engineering necessary to support the structural loads: this is where our unique frameless glass technology really comes into its own. Laminating structural framework between two planes of glass increases panel strength ensuring that, in the unlikely event of a breakage, the integrity of the structure remains intact.
