Storyboard:
Site Survey
Timber frames were manufactured to accept our double glazed units. Once installed, we took measurements to allow the units to be manfufactured.
Site Delivery
At over 450kg for the largest panel, the glass was delivered direct to site and offloaded by our team with the aid of a glazing robot – Winlet 1000.
Glass Installation
Using the glazing robot, the panels are manipulated under the eves and into the timber frames.
Completed Glazing (with blinds)
Here the units can be seen in place complete with the blinds. The large size of the units and the shape to suit the original structure maximizes light and retains the original feel of the building.
Mirror Installed
Wall to Wall full height mirrors, were bonded to the wall with 10mm shadow gaps as requested by the client.
Internal Balustrade to Staircase
Using black D-clamp fittings to match the black theme throughout the project, the balustrade wall installed to the staircase to protect the fall.
