Ion Glass have a wholly bespoke approach to structural glass installations which has resulted in projects that often involve complex, over-sized or challenging glass. And sometimes it’s not just the size but the shape, the curve or the location and the additional challenge to manoeuvre large glass panels into difficult locations.
Every project is individually designed, manufactured and installed to meet even the biggest challenges.
Two 7 metre high corrugated glass screens were used to create this unique and impressive entrance to a commercial building in Reading. Each screen is comprised of individual panels of corrugated glass designed to work flawlessly both vertically and horizontally.
The individual arched panels installed in the loggia at Grade II Lainston House Hotel were supplied in anti-reflective glass to comply with a stipulation from Historic England – but each panel was only millimetres less than the maximum size available in Amiran glass. The precise measurements supplied by Ion Glass had to fit around all the nuances of the brickwork as well as meeting the requirements of challenging and accurate computer controlled cutting.
A mezzanine floor at the top of a Martello Tower in Folkestone was finished by Ion Glass with a continuous span of frameless glass balustrading to ensure nothing detracted from the fabulous coastal views. The large curved panels at the top of the stairs interface seamlessly with the straight panels across the face of the mezzanine.
All the glass for this complex project had to be winched up the outside of the tower and delivered via a window as the only other access was a narrow staircase built into the walls.
The frameless glass door designed and installed by Ion Glass for Kippington Church is a wholly non-standard 3 metres high, set between two narrow side panels and a curved overhead glass transom. Despite its size, the door opens flawlessly, pivoting on a fully concealed, heavy duty floor spring.
The door is finished with a bespoke manifestation, also designed by the team at Ion Glass.
Ion Glass fitted a glass walling and an infinity edge to the external swimming pool at Lucknam Park Hotel and Spa. The vision panels are manufactured in 63 mm triple laminated glass, creating a stunning design feature in keeping with the style and luxury of the property.
A similar vision panel to a swimming pool in a luxury beachside property measured a staggering 4.7 metres long, 2.25 metres high and is 80mm thick – quadruple laminated, it weighed over 2000 kilos, manoeuvred into position by crane. The panel provides the owners with stunning sea views when they swim (images of this installation are not permitted).
