Old High Mill is a private leisure wing and pool hall extension to an existing home near Bedale that showcases swimming pool glazing in North Yorkshire. The new glazed wing brings together slim sliding openings to the terrace, large-format structural glass walls, a series of frameless rooflights and carefully detailed aluminium windows to create a bright, durable and low-maintenance pool environment finished in RAL 7021.

The main pool elevation uses ultra-slim sliding doors to give wide, easy access for poolside circulation and summer ventilation. Selected assemblies were specified with a marine‑grade coating to withstand the corrosive atmosphere typical of chlorinated spaces. Thresholds, drainage and perimeter details were coordinated to keep lines clean while managing splash water.
Beyond the sliding openings, fixed structural glazing creates expansive picture windows with crisp glass-to-glass junctions that align with the roof geometry so the pool hall reads as a single, clear volume. Vertical panes are tied into the roof glazing with silicone‑jointed connections, maintaining an uninterrupted sightline from water level up into the sky, for this swimming pool glazing in North Yorkshire.
Daylight is brought deep into the plan by a ribbon of frameless rooflights arranged as single and multi‑pane runs. The roof glazing was detailed for pool‑specific performance, with warm‑edge spacers, robust perimeter seals and concealed support to manage humidity and reduce condensation risk while keeping the interior evenly daylit.
Elsewhere, Sieger HD aluminium windows provide controlled ventilation and emergency escape where required. Hardware and hinges were selected for resistance to chlorine, and opening lights incorporate trickle ventilation and cills to suit the pool specification without adding visual clutter to the elevations.
Quality and durability measures were built into the package. Key oversized panes were heat‑soak tested to reduce the risk of spontaneous breakage, and crane lifts were used to place units safely without compromising edge quality. All visible aluminium was finished in RAL 7021 for a coherent exterior that complements the mill context and surrounding landscape. The finished pool hall is a clear example of swimming pool glazing in North Yorkshire, combining transparency, resilience and precise detailing.
