Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem presents an ambitious application of the panoramic sliding doors in Westbury system, engineered to achieve an uninterrupted connection between architecture and landscape. The installation spans just under 15 metres wide and stands at 3.1 metres high, with a two-track configuration comprising two sliding and three fixed panes. Each glass panel, weighing approximately 353 kilograms, is precision manufactured and installed to deliver uncompromising performance while preserving the slender sightlines that define the panoramic sliding doors in Westbury system.
The sequence of five glazing panels reads as a single, continuous plane of glass, erasing visual breaks and allowing the surrounding countryside to dominate the interior experience. The minimal framing profile in RAL 9005 coatex enhances this sense of purity, its fine black lines framing views like a quiet underline rather than a border. Inside, a PPC lever locking handle, matched precisely to the frame finish, offers a tactile continuity. The locking system, two-point with one shoot bolt, integrates seamlessly, avoiding disruption to the clean lines. Black gaskets and silicone complete the aesthetic consistency, ensuring every junction remains refined and discreet.

The glass specification reflects a balance of transparency and performance. Externally, 8mm clear toughened glass faces the elements, followed by a 16mm argon-filled cavity with a black warm edge spacer and black silicone to minimise thermal bridging and maintain the visual integrity of the dark frame. Internally, a further 8mm clear toughened pane incorporates low e-coating, enhancing energy efficiency without altering the clarity of the view.
This project demonstrates how precision-engineered panoramic sliding doors in Westbury systems can create expansive glazed openings without compromise. The result at Carpe Diem is not simply a large sliding door but an architectural gesture, light, proportion, and landscape held within the thinnest possible frame, a seamless transition between inside and out.
