minimal windows frameless glass extension with slim sliding doors to Grade II Listed Warwickshire house
Hayward Smart Architects transformed a mid-17th century stone house with a frameless glass extension with slim sliding doors, featuring minimal windows® Slim Framed Sliding Glass Doors, incorporating specialist elements such as b-iparting doors with a glass-to-glass fixed corner, returning to a two-track minimal windows® Slim Framed Sliding Glass Doors system. The sleek, contemporary design included a Type 1 locking handle and drainage to be provided by others, with the frame finished in RAL 70016 – anthracite grey.
Located in the village of Honington, Warwickshire, this Grade II Listed property property required a highly transparent solution to replace its outdated rear extension. The frameless glass extension with slim sliding doors was designed to maximize light, maintain a frameless appearance, and provide unobstructed views of the historic stonework, which was essential to the planning approval process.
The minimal windows® Slim Framed Sliding Glass Doors played a pivotal role in creating a bright and airy space. Large, full-height slim sliding frameless glass doors were installed, wrapping around the kitchen and dining extension, and allowing direct access to the garden. Each sliding panel on the rear elevation weighed approximately 169kg, with the largest glass panel reaching 229kg. The glass was double-glazed, heat soak tested, and treated with a low e coating for improved thermal performance. The ultra-slim 21mm sightlines ensure uninterrupted views while maintaining a minimal aesthetic in the frameless glass extension with slim sliding doors.
The slim sliding doors doors were also aligned with the structural beams of the pavilion-style extension, seamlessly blending modern and traditional design elements. Flush thresholds between the indoor kitchen/dining space and the patio ensured a smooth transition, enhancing accessibility and flow between the interior and exterior spaces in the frameless glass extension with slim sliding doors.
The result is a stunning, contemporary frameless glass extension with slim sliding doors that preserves the character of the Grade II Listed home while providing modern functionality and abundant natural light.
