Grade II listed Farmhouse extension: Sky-Frame & Custom glazing

Our expert installation of a frameless Sky-Frame glazing system was central to the new extension of a Grade II listed farmhouse, creating a powerful, yet sensitive, architectural statement. The installation includes a frameless glass link that bridges the historic building with the contemporary new wing, allowing the original structure to remain visually distinct and undisturbed.

The use of ultra-slim, low-profile Sky-Frame sliding doors and a seamless glass link achieves a flowing transition between the indoors and outdoors. The result is a bright, vibrant, and airy living space that offers occupants year-round panoramic views of the surrounding gardens and sky. The minimal sightlines of the 20mm vertical profiles ensure the glass dominates, not the frame, offering an almost frameless aperture that complements the traditional architecture without competing with it.

For historic properties, this type of frameless and structural glazing is a preferred method for connecting new and old constructions. It is a modern solution that maintains the visual integrity of the heritage building, which is why it is typically well-received by conservation officers.

Our meticulous approach involved working closely with Yiangou architects to ensure every detail met the specific requirements for working on a listed property. The installation is fully compliant with building regulations, and the double-glazed, laminated safety glass units provide exceptional thermal insulation, noise reduction, and security. The outcome is a perfect balance of traditional and contemporary design, delivering a luxurious and highly functional addition to a treasured historic home.
