Wind Loading in the Windermere
Windermere location and elevation mean it is no stranger to high winds, particularly in more exposed areas or hilltop properties. At IQ Glass, we design and engineer structural glazing systems that can withstand extreme wind loads, taking inspiration from the robust standards applied in hurricane-prone regions.
Our bespoke glazing systems have been tested and certified to resist extreme pressure loads, both positive and negative. This ensures the safety, performance, and longevity of the installation, even in regions exposed to the UK’s most severe weather conditions. Systems are designed using laminated glass units bonded into structural frames, often reinforced with steel or aluminium support where required. These configurations ensure that the glazing can meet the wind load demands of exposed Windermere properties without compromising on aesthetics.
IQ Glass is known for its innovative frameless glass systems. Our team will bring you high-performance glass products that are precision-engineered to ensure a flawless finish.
Our Midlands team brings unrivalled expertise and tailored design solutions to every project. Please contact our team to discuss your requirements today.
Managing Driving Rain and Water Drainage
In Windermere, rainfall is both frequent and heavy, with significant volumes of driving rain throughout the year. When designing glazing solutions for this environment, careful consideration must be given to how water interacts with the glazing.
Our structural glazing systems are designed with a range of integrated drainage solutions, including slimline perimeter channels that can be matched to the frame colour for a discreet finish. These systems efficiently channel water away from the building envelope, preventing pooling or water ingress.
Where appropriate, we specify stepped and bonded glass configurations to reduce the number of exposed seals. This greatly improves the weather resistance of the installation and ensures the system continues to perform under constant rain exposure typical of Windermere.

Access and Logistical Challenges
The rural and mountainous terrain of Windermere can often make access and installation more complex, but this is where IQ Glass excels. Our installation teams have decades of experience working in challenging environments and in locations with restricted access.
From craning oversized glazing units over rooftops to installing glass into tight basement openings through a small service hole, we’ve handled some of the UK’s most complex glazing installations. Our logistical planning and use of specialist lifting equipment allow us to deliver architectural glazing projects regardless of access restrictions or environmental limitations.
No site is too remote, no installation too complex.
Our expert team will guide you through specification, design, and installation, delivering glazing solutions that meet the environmental demands of Windermere without compromising on style or performance. Contact us today to discuss your project, request a consultation, or arrange a site visit.
