Glazing Expertise for Residential Properties

 

Our glazing expertise is used on hundreds of residential projects every year and the following illustrates a few of the jobs we have completed:

Pilkington Activ Blue glass is perfect for conservatories, the low maintenance, UV reflective surface ensures a comfortable temperature is maintained.

 


 

 Barrier Glass for Staircases and external ‘Juliette’ balcony panels:

 

The photographs above show how glass balustrade panes can lighten a hallway. These are normally 8 mm toughened safety glass with polished edges secured between the newel posts using stainless steel ‘D’ clamps which are available in a variety of finishes, or can be powder coated to a specific RAL colour.

Juliette balcony panels are installed using stainless steel ‘stand-off’ fittings fixed, into woodwork or brickwork on either side of the door set at a height above internal FFL to comply with Building Regulations.


Lanterns:

 

The photographs opposite illustrate a Lantern which provides a covered corridor between two adjoining pitched roofs. The owner of this charming large mid-Victorian property wished to fully utilise the space in two large attics and this is the way that it was achieved. Bespoke hardwood joinery and 6 mm toughened low-e, double glazed units with grey anti-sun tint, upto 3.2 metres long.

Barn Conversions

 

Barn conversions are highly popular and much sought after with home owners seeking a rural lifestyle. Oxfordshire Glass provide glazing expertise to all kinds of projects up to and including multi-million pound renovations.


 

Greenhouses

 

Starting in mid 2013 and completed in spring 2014, this early Victorian greenhouse within a Gloucestershire walled garden was completely de-glazed and the steel frames re-furbished and powder coated.

Each of the 17 seperate 15 ft high frames along the frontage were re-glazed using over 3000 new horticultural glass panes hand finished with a curved lower edge to provide an exact replica of the original overlapping ‘fish-scale’ design.

A new aluminium frame with french doors with side lights was incorporated into the rear wall of the greenhouse.

Photographs of another Victorian greenhouse we re-glazed at a National Trust property can be seen in our Historic Buildings section.

 

“We had an exemplary service from Oxfordshire Glass. Their expertise is second to none. We received excellent help and advice for a contemporary glass roof design, which exceeded our expectations and was beautifully executed. We are thrilled”.
