All Glass Structures

Glass box extensions and other all-glass structures are one of the few types of glazing where the installation of blinds is almost impossible. The lack of a frame means there is nothing to mount the blinds to, so the solution for shading is often to install a framework for the blinds. Often the best way to achieve a seamless look is to involve us an an early stage in the design process, so that fixing points can be factored in rather than attempting to retrofit.

Projects where there is solid structure at either end or at the sides of the glass box can have discreet blinds running on tensioned cables, these blend in well with glass rafters and the blind mechanisms can be concealed within recesses at either end if required, for an almost completely hidden shading solution. Where there are no fixing points at all, there may still be a way to provide shade with an external over-glass awning system mounted on a wall above the roof.
