Modernising or improving with structural glazing offers a sensitive and effective route to achieving net zero ambitions, improving the functionality of the building with minimal impact on the existing structure.

Structural glass specialists, Ion Glass are well-renowned experts in wholly bespoke, frameless or minimally framed glass installations with an impressive portfolio of work across a wide range of contemporary, heritage, historic and listed buildings. Their ethos is to respect the sensitivity of the building whilst working to ensure that the glass installations meet all your current requirements – including the drive towards net zero.

We asked Peter Hazeldean, MD of Ion Glass to share one of the most effective uses of structural glass to improve energy consumption and heat loss.

The benefits of frameless glass entrance doors and porches

Peter’s initial suggestion is to consider the entrance to the building.  Adding a structural glass porch creates a thermal buffer zone, reducing heat loss and improving internal comfort without increasing heating output.  A porch installation has the added advantage of generally falling under the planning umbrella of permitted development.

Glass can be used to infill an existing open porch; fitted internally, behind the existing door or used to construct an external structure in either single or double-glazed panels.

Owners of a heritage barn conversion in Reading commissioned Ion Glass to design and install an impressive, visually striking porch to the front of their new home:  the unusual triangular glass porch followed the steep slope of the original barn roof.  The glass porch serves to retain the heat that would otherwise have been lost via the double doors of the original barn entrance – whilst providing additional security.

Use of structural glass fins and beams to create the porch makes this a fully frameless installation with nothing to compromise the original barn structure.

Ion designed an internal  porch to a traditional 1930’s style house, upgrading a draughty front entrance with a new internal glass door set between two fixed side panels. The original timber door was re-used externally, set between two leaded, double-glazed panels to retain the look and feel of the home whilst improving internal light levels to  reduce energy costs and significantly minimising heat loss.

(above) This deceptively simple glass porch infills the original entrance area to create an attractive porch with a frameless glass door, offering considerable benefits for thermal retention.

Peter continued: ‘Replacing timber doors with bespoke glass can eliminate draughts and reduce heat loss whilst also improving the levels of natural light to the interior.  For public buildings, an automatic opening and closing system means the door is only open as required, which improves both heat retention and security.

The new porch recently installed at St John the Evangelist Church at Newbury is double-glazed for maximum heat retention, with the curved double-glazed panels perfectly following the distinctive arch of bricks over the original door.  The original wooden doors are now permanently fixed open allowing natural light to flood the interior (saving on lighting costs) whilst the replacement sliding glass doors are fully automatic, providing easy access as required whilst minimising heat loss.

The expert team at Ion Glass will take your bespoke structural glass design from concept to reality, providing technical advice and drawings to ensure your project meets all criteria before our fully trained and experienced installation teams achieve optimum results on site.

Adaptability at The Acre: ACO Overcomes Installation Challenges to Provide Sustainable Drainage to Iconic London Building Renovation

Visit the ACO Building Drainage website

When a blue roof was needed as part of a major sustainable renovation at the Acre in London, it was vital that the solution specified could be installed while other work on aspects of the roof were underway. With so many moving parts to the renovation, ACO Building Drainage had to work with contractors to be able to make their usual installation process more dynamic and accommodate unexpected changes along the way. 

The brutalist building – previously known as 90 Long Acre, now shortened to The Acre – was built in the 1970s and by 2020 was in need of major renovations to restore its status as one of Covent Garden’s architectural highlights. The 240,000 square foot building would include office spaces, a café, and 113 residential flats. Moreover, once complete, The Acre was to be one of the most eco-friendly developments in the city.

Boosting The Acre’s green credentials meant overhauling several key systems including heating, the electrical supply, and roof drainage. With conditions around the site and the project itself meaning storage space was limited, deliveries had to be carefully planned and ACO’s speedy adaptability proved to be a major advantage. With ACO’s contributions to the project, The Acre went on to be awarded Sustainability Project of the Year by the LRWA.

Commencing with calculations

ACO Building Drainage was invited by building design firm Arup to collaborate on the roof drainage part of The Acre’s renovation. ACO visited the site and provided calculations for the water attenuation the building would need, and recommended products that could provide the attenuation required in line with the overall sustainability goals and planning conditions of the project.

ACO’s calculations accounted for the different sections of roof and the fact that raised areas of the roof drained onto lower parts. The provided calculations also took into consideration the combination of blue and blue green roof that was to be installed as part of the plan to better conserve water, boost biodiversity, clean the air, and improve the microclimate of The Acre.

Following the calculations however, complications arose due to the concurrent installation of solar equipment and privacy screening on the same areas of the rooftop where ACO’s RoofBloxx were to be installed.

Unexpected obstructions

Due to limited on-site storage space and multiple aspects of the renovation being carried out simultaneously, only a small portion of the required ACO RoofBloxx could be delivered at a time. To overcome this challenge, ACO communicated closely with Lendlease’s site managers and adapted its usual delivery process to ensure product was at The Acre at the time it was needed. This flexibility was made possible due to ACO’s facility in Shefford, which houses products ready for shipping in cases when short lead-times or sudden changes are a factor.

The main hurdle ACO and contractors from MAC Roofing had to contend with was the unexpected appearance of struts installed directly onto the rooftop to support other building services. These were in place to hold PV panels and screens to block plant equipment from public view to improve The Acre’s visual aesthetic.

The schematic for the ACO RoofBloxx installation had been created before these struts were known to ACO. MAC Roofing discovered their placement when they arrived to carry out the drainage installation. Because of this, designs had to be adapted quickly, while ensuring that the finished product would provide the attenuation needed and prevent any leaks.

Cutting carefully

For each of the more-than one-hundred struts MAC had to work around, pitch pockets had to be put in, the insulation had to be altered, and the ACO RoofBloxx units had to be cut to fit the space available. MAC contractors measured the obstruction, cut the ACO RoofBloxx units to the new size by hand, and then taped and sealed each part individually. ACO provided instructions on how to do this without risking any unwanted water ingress. With each cut that had to be made, the potential for leaks increased, therefore it was vital to the success of the project that the unplanned adaptations were completed to a high standard across all seven sections of roof.

Once the ACO RoofBloxx units were in place, other parts of the renovation meant that pipes and pedestals were placed directly on to the ACO RoofBloxx which was also an unforeseen change. ACO created a new set of structural load calculations to ensure that the components combined with the gravel would not compromise the ACO RoofBloxx’ performance or any aspect of building safety.

Layers and loads

In most blue roof systems, the final ballast weight needed to prevent insulation floating is significant and can impact load calculations as well as project costs and timelines as delivery and placement of ballast material is factored in. Due to ACO’s patented system which prevents the floatation of insulation on an inverted roof, only normal ballast weight is required, keeping costs low and project timelines on track.

With ACO’s expertise, even with the unexpected challenges encountered during the project, MAC Roofing and ACO were able to complete their part of the project successfully, providing The Acre with a sustainable roof drainage system. The complications highlight the need for drainage to be a consideration from the very early stages of any building or renovation project.

Rowan Gutteridge, Group Director at MAC said: “As with many construction projects, unexpected challenges arise all the time and we work to overcome them. The changes here were bigger than usual and it was in large part thanks to ACO that we were able to complete this installation successfully. When we suddenly had to cut the ACO RoofBloxx to shape, ACO’s expert advice meant we knew exactly how to do it and what adjustments were needed for the installation to make sure everything delivered the desired result. The ACO RoofBloxx units themselves are easy to work with which only helped the project progress. I’m looking forward to working with ACO and its products again on future projects.”

Kevin Bohea, Managing Director at ACO Building Drainage said: “It’s great to see an iconic building like The Acre embracing sustainable drainage. We did hit a few speedbumps along the way so we were glad to be working with MAC Roofing who we consulted with on how best to adapt the installation to the new requirements. Every project has adjustments that need to be made along the way and this one was no different. Quite a bit needed to change while the project was live, but thanks to guidance from our experts and our solutions being easy to use, the team were able to take on the challenge and ensure the installation was completed to an award-winning standard.”

Wraptite® external air barrier helps to create state-of-the-art learning environments for over 4500 Scottish pupils

View The A.Proctor Group website

The specification and installation of A.Proctor Group’s Wraptite® external air barrier is helping three separate secondary school projects in Scotland to achieve the Passivhaus standard. As a result of the high-quality new school buildings, more than 4500 pupils will benefit from learning in thermally comfortable classrooms with excellent indoor air quality.

All three schools are being delivered by main contractor Robertson ConstructionTayside.With its purpose of assuring a sustainable future, Robertson has developed a specialism in Passivhaus construction, which supports its customers, local authorities and Government to address low carbon goals.

What are the three Passivhaus school projects where Wraptite has been specified?

The three schools are Perth High School, East End Community Campus in Dundee, and Monifieth Learning Campus. Construction commenced on all three within the space of a few months in the first half of 2023.

Perth High School was the first project to get underway.The current Oakbank Road building is more than 50 years old and rated ‘poor’ for suitability. It has been used beyond its design life.The new-build school will replace the existing facility when it is handed over in summer 2025.

Originally, a more traditional design and specification was intended for the construction, which will be used by 1600 pupils and 140 staff. The Passivhaus approach was adopted during the design process, and required minimal alteration to the building’s agreed form and location.

Two Dundee high schools also nearing the end of their life – Craigie High School and Braeview Academy – will be replaced by the East End Community Campus. Designed to accommodate around 1800 pupils, the site includes an integrated education centre for those with complex assisted support needs.

Expected to be handed over in summer 2025 as well, the campus’s sports facilities will be available to local groups and clubs. Some council services will be delivered from the new campus too.

The new education and community campus in Monifieth, near Dundee, features a new school for 1200 pupils and amenities including a swimming pool and Sport Scotland-standard athletics facilities. Angus Council’s intention is for the campus to be used fully, all year round.

Like Perth High School, construction is being phased so the new school is constructed while the old one remains in use.The existing facility will then be demolished once the new campus is up and running.

Installing Wraptite external air barrier to a variety of structural solutions

The external walls of each new school are constructed in a slightly different way, showing that the Passivhaus standard can be achieved using different construction methods. Building on and using its sustainable construction expertise, Robertson ensured the standard was capable of being met on these three projects.

“We wanted to take what we learnt delivering Scotland’s first certified Passivhaus school, Riverside Primary, and apply it to future projects,” said Kevin Dickson, Regional Managing Director, Robertson ConstructionTayside.“This opportunity came with the appointment to deliver three Passivhaus schools, constructed to realise each local authority’s vision while generating meaningful benefits throughout the process.”

A similar procurement process to Riverside Primary meant that using Wraptite satisfied the requirement for using local suppliers, on top of the experience gained in using it to meet the airtightness requirements.

Perth High School is a concrete frame with mineral wool insulation and a facing brick facade.The school buildings to the other two campuses feature a mix of concrete and steel frame, with high performance insulation. Facing brickwork is the finish at Monifieth, while East End Community Campus will have finishes of facing brickwork, precast concrete and cladding.

Wraptite is well-suited to Passivhaus projects, and the different construction methods demonstrate its versatility in helping to meet the standard’s high levels of airtightness. By moving the airtight line to the exterior face of the wall structure, it avoids a lot of complex detailing around services and other penetrations that typically occur at the internal face.

As a fully-adhered vapour permeable membrane, Wraptite saves on labour and material costs, without compromising airtightness levels and without increasing condensation risk within the structure. Not all detailing issues can be avoided, of course, and where particular areas of detailing do need to be addressed there is the added benefit of Wraptite tape.

On-site quality checks are a hallmark of the Passivhaus standard and accreditation.The simple solution offered by Wraptite allows those checks to be carried out with the minimum of fuss. Find out more: https://proctorgroup.com/products/wraptite

Visit the Dales Fabrications website

Leading designer & manufacturer of aluminium building products, Dales Fabrications is contributing to the £12 million retrofit of Milton Keynes’ Netherfield Estate, demonstrating the capability of aluminium systems to support both sustainability objectives and heritage preservation requirements.

For the retrofit, Dales are supplying their Fascia Soffit in RAL 9006 Matt, Delta 100 Gutter in RAL 9010 Satin, and 101.6mm Contemporary Rainwater Pipe in RAL 9010 Satin, working alongside ECD Architects, Mears Group, and Bailey MK Ltd.

Project Overview

The SHDF Wave 1-funded project is decarbonising 302 council-owned homes while respecting the estate’s architectural significance. With Phase 1 now complete, the retrofit programme is progressing through its final stages, with completion anticipated later this year.

Originally designed by ‘The Grunt Group’ under Milton Keynes Development Corporation, the 1970s estate holds recognition as a non-designated heritage asset. The retrofit addresses critical performance issues including inadequate insulation, damp, mould, and overheating, while preserving the estate’s architectural character through careful material selection.

Why Aluminium?

Aluminium’s durability, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties make it ideal for this complex retrofit. The material’s strength-to-weight ratio suits architectural applications, while low maintenance characteristics reduce long-term costs for residents.

The specification of aluminium products also aligns with the project’s sustainability objectives due to the material’s high recyclability, which enables continuous reuse without quality degradation and supports circular economy principles. As a founding member of the CAB Closed Loop Recycling Scheme, Dales Fabrications actively works to maximise material efficiency and minimise environmental impact. This commitment is demonstrated through the supplied rainwater pipes, which comprise 78% recycled content and maintain full recyclability at end-of-life, supporting the project’s broader environmental goals.

 Impact so Far

Energy modelling by ECD Architects guided targeted upgrades, including high-performance windows, external insulation, and warm roofs. Where Phase 1 upgrades are complete, tenants report improved thermal comfort, reduced heating requirements, and fuel bills cut by more than half compared to pre-retrofit conditions.

As well as receiving positive feedback from tenants, the project has received notable industry recognition, including being shortlisted for the ‘Unlock Net Zero Live Awards 2023’ in the Collaboration of the year category. Additionally, the project made it to the finals of both the ‘Constructing Excellence Awards 2024’ in the ‘regeneration & retrofit’ category and the ‘Unlock Net Zero Live Awards 2024’ in the ‘green homes upgrade of the Year’ category.

The importance of retrofit:

With the UK targeting 68% carbon reduction by 2030, projects like Netherfield Estate showcase how existing housing stock can be transformed through thoughtful specification, material selection, and collaboration, proving heritage preservation and decarbonisation can go hand-in-hand.
