Minimal Frame, Maximum Light A Project By: Exact Architectural Glazing Location: Witney Oxfordshire Project Summary: The brief for this project in Witney, Oxford was simple in principle but ambitious in execution: create a contemporary rear extension defined by light and openness, with glazing doing the heavy lifting both structurally and visually. Project Detail: We worked closely with the design team to deliver a 9000mm x 2400mm minimal frame sliding door spanning the full width of the extension. The objective was clear, achieve a completely uninterrupted connection to the garden while maintaining performance, durability and precision in the detailing. At this scale, specification matters. Each sliding panel weighs approximately 370kg, so structural coordination and installation planning were critical from the outset. Because of the expanse of glazing, we specified solar controlled glass to manage solar gain effectively. The rear elevation benefits from significant daylight and without the correct glass specification the space could easily have overheated. The chosen glass allows high levels of clarity and light transmission while maintaining internal comfort, something developers and architects are rightly focused on in large format glazing schemes. A key feature of the project is the fully recessed flush track detail. The system was built … Continue reading Precision Glazing Meets Modern Living
