Frameless windows, glass to glass corner windows and “wraparound” glazing

Structural glazing is a bespoke option available to Renka customers to create a stunning addition to any project.It involves the use of slim perimeter profiles rather than traditional (and thicker) window system profiles, to create visually frameless glazing. Using this approach, customers can have frameless windows, glass to glass corner windows or wraparound glazing, where vertical and roof glazing meet at frameless silicon-sealed glass to glass corner.

Glass to glass corner windows present a great opportunity to create a wide external view without the visual disruption caused by corner posts. Using stepped glazed units that are silicone sealed together, the resulting window is very effective at maximising light coming into a room, as well as being a dramatic and beautiful architectural feature. Glass to glass corners can be used as standalone units or can be attached to the fixed panel of a sliding door set to create an even more striking visual effect.

In a similar way, “Wraparound” glazing connects vertical and roof glazing at a frameless glass to glass corner to bring light deep into a property

Facts and Technical Details

Our structural glazing:

  • Fixed glazing using slim perimeter profiles. The profiles act as seaters for glass units, and to hold them in place
  • Visually virtually frameless – maximising the glass area and creating an uninterrupted view
  • Can be used to connect vertical glazing across 2 elevations to meet at a frameless corner
  • Can be used to connect vertical and roof glazing to meet at a frameless corner
  • Will require more liaison with builders / architects to plan the openings
