The Invisio Structural Glazing was utilised to create seamless glazed elevations that connect the internal living spaces with the expansive views of the Perthshire landscape. These frameless elements offer uninterrupted sightlines and were triple-glazed using toughened glass. Each pane underwent rigorous heat soaking to significantly reduce the risk of spontaneous glass breakage caused by non-detectable inclusions, a critical requirement for long-term durability and occupant safety in such a high-spec home.
minimal windows® sliding doors were specified for key openings within the home, providing wide-span access to external terraces while maintaining the building’s clean, contemporary lines. These systems feature slim sightlines and, like the Invisio system, are fabricated with triple-glazed, toughened glass that has been heat tested to ensure optimal performance and safety. Their sleek appearance and precision engineering were fundamental to achieving the seamless indoor-outdoor experience envisioned by the architects.
The Sieger Casement Windows and doors further enhance the home’s modern appeal while offering versatile functionality. The system includes aluminium-framed doors with tilt and turn mechanisms, alongside several triple-glazed window configurations, including side-hung casements. All components were designed to meet the strict performance and aesthetic standards set for this unique contemporary house in Scotland.
