Bespoke Corner Windows
The team at IQ are experts in creating bespoke window designs to suit all types of architectural design and buildings. Corner windows are an interesting and versatile window option for renovations and new build properties alike.
Our range of design options for corner windows allow flexibility in both design and performance, ensuring architects and specifiers achieve the finish and requirements needed for compliance.
Frameless Corner Windows
For a fully frameless corner window, structural glass is used, connected at the corners with structural silicone. This option is perfect for achieving an uninterrupted, minimalist appearance with maximum light ingress.
The corner connection of the window is completely frameless, and all surrounding fixings can be hidden by all building finishes. We recommend the Invisio fixing system for structural glazing to ensure we create a fully thermally broken connection detail.
Opening Corner Windows
For opening corner window designs, sliding glass doors offer the most minimal design and the largest level of design flexibility.
Open corner sliding doors can be used to create an opening corner window that slides open, merging indoor and outdoor spaces. The corner angle can be customised, ranging from 65 to 177 degrees, allowing for flexible design configurations.
When closed, the sightlines of these doors are minimal, with no frame at the head or base of the doors, and ultra slim 21mm sightlines.

Integrated Opening Windows in Corner Windows
Integrating opening windows into corner window designs is easy when designed by the team at IQ. Our expert glazing designers can integrate opening windows into these frameless window designs seamlessly, whilst maintaining slim sightlines.
Whether you are looking for a top hung, side hung or tilt and turn window design, they can be included in a corner window design for a flexible functionality.
Framing material options include timber (Avino), steel (Mondrian), or aluminium (Sieger) frames, allowing for different aesthetic preferences.

Specification
Maximum Size of Corner Windows
Corner windows using structural glazing can be created in virtually any size, offering great flexibility in design. However, casement window options may have size restrictions based on the framing system and glass weight. These limitations will be considered during the design process to ensure the best possible outcome for your project.
Frame Design for Corner Windows
Casement corner windows offer slim frames in materials like timber, steel, or aluminium. Structural glass can be used for those seeking a completely frameless look. These systems provide both aesthetic and functional benefits, ensuring that your corner windows align with the overall design of your building.
Thermal Performance of Corner Windows
The thermal performance of corner windows can be customised based on the project's needs. High-specification glass can take the form of triple glazing, specialist solar control and low emission coatings, introduced to ensure that the windows provide excellent insulation and energy efficiency.
Acoustic Performance of Corner Windows
Acoustic performance is also considered in the design of corner windows. Using acoustic laminated glass, IQ Glass can ensure that your corner windows help maintain a peaceful indoor environment by reducing external noise.
Wind Load Requirements for Corner Windows
Given the structural design of corner windows, wind load performance is a critical factor. IQ Glass engineers will tailor the glass specification to meet local wind load requirements, ensuring the windows' stability and safety.
Security of Corner Windows
Security can be enhanced through the use of laminated glass, making corner windows a robust and secure option for any property.
