At Carpe Diem, contemporary glazing in Westbury is highlighted by expansive minimal windows® sliding doors, offering panoramic views across rural Shropshire towards the Welshpool area. Spanning 15 metres wide by 3.05 metres high, the two-track sliding system includes two sliding panes alongside three fixed panels, finished in a bespoke RAL 9005 coating. The ultra-slim black framing ensures uninterrupted sightlines, allowing the landscape to take centre stage.

Complementing the sliding doors, an Invisio frameless fixed glass roof measuring 6.2 metres forms another key element of the contemporary glazing in Westbury. Comprising three silicone-jointed panes, it introduces abundant natural daylight and incorporates advanced solar control glass for thermal comfort.
The sliding door system includes an internal key locking mechanism, providing essential security without detracting from the minimalist design. Additionally, the doors’ ultra-low threshold enhances accessibility, facilitating smooth transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Stone cladding used throughout the design provides visual balance to the extensive contemporary glazing in Westbury, anchoring the structure effectively in its environment. The flat roof, finished in dark grey metal and equipped with recessed lighting, offers shading and highlights the home’s modern architectural lines.
