Barn conversions are always popular. The juxtaposition of glass with rustic stonework and exposed beams is a timeless aesthetic that feels modern yet cosy. The Old Barn was a project we worked on with WGP Architects and Sky-Frame. Our favourite part of this stunning restoration has to be the full height glazed gable, and the picturesque views it affords. #BarnConversion #renovationprojects #architecturalglass

Fire safety glass is an essential safety feature that can save lives during an emergency, but it is often overlooked when people begin designing their dream home.  Although vital for public, multi-user and high-rise buildings, the rules and specifications surrounding fire safety glass can be confusing. Thankfully, recent innovations in fire rated glazing mean that safety no longer needs to compromise creative architectural design. To learn more about this important topic, check out our blog post all about it: https://lnkd.in/eQEJtww8 #FireRatedGlazing #FireSafetyGlass #ArchitecturalGlass

Some of our favourite projects are those that involve swimming pools. Glazing is a beautiful way to add natural light and a sense of openness to your swimming pool room or building. It can also help to create a more modern and stylish look, with frameless glass walls, minimalist glass doors, or even a glass roof, letting you swim under the clouds by day and stars by night.

When you are designing your forever home, you want it to look spectacular, but what about the view from inside? After all, you’ll spend more time looking out than you will in. With our high-end glazing solutions, the view looks stunning from both sides - inside and out. 📍 The Lake District 🔧 Sky-Frame 📐 Mary Arnold-Forster⁠ 📷 Neil K. photography #Skyframe #Aviewnotawindow #modernhomes #architecturalglass

Open plan kitchens & living spaces are more popular than ever. Movable media devices and house-wide AV systems have shifted the focus of entertainment away from the living room and as a result, homeowners are increasingly seeking adaptable spaces that can serve multiple purposes and easily accommodate large gatherings. These spaces can be elevated by featuring expansive glass windows and fixed glass walls to maximise natural light, with minimal framed glass doors used to create a seamless flow for outdoor entertaining. #OpenPlanLiving #GlassWalls #SkyFrame #ModernHomes

💤Today is World Sleep Day! 🛏️ 😴 But this isn’t some randomly assigned awareness day: the date has been specifically chosen. Today is the Friday before the Vernal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere: the date when the days begin to get brighter and longer. What better day is there to highlight the importance of positive sleeping habits and raise awareness for sleep related issues? Optimal sleep hinges on a well-regulated circadian rhythm which is heavily influenced by natural light: something that Cantifix feels strongly about. Our Photon Pod was created entirely out of glass and helps researchers investigate the effects of sunlight on humans in real time. ☀️ Let us explain: Sunlight, especially in the morning, signals the body to suppress melatonin, promoting wakefulness. Throughout the day, consistent exposure strengthens this cycle, leading to better sleep quality at night. Conversely, insufficient daylight can disrupt this balance. The modern lifestyle means that we spend a large portion of our days inside, leading to a lack of sunlight exposure. While we may just be a glazing business, we want to do all that we can to make glass that works with and for humans. Many of our products are informed by the research mentioned above, and in a world where we spend our days indoors, large glass windows, doors, walls and rooflights, all help us get that bit more sun. Solutions like Cantifix's glass structures maximise natural light penetration, potentially improving sleep by fostering a healthier light-dark cycle. By embracing sunlight, we support our body's natural sleep mechanisms, leading to more restful nights. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/erBY3TZt #WorldSleepDay 💤 #sleephealth

Are you on the lookout for CPD opportunities in 2025? We run regular seminars on “glass as a construction material,” free to all architects, engineers and designers. Over the course you will cover the history of glazing within construction, with highlights on its application in contemporary buildings and architecture. We will then delve into some specific case studies so that you can look in detail at how different projects require different parameters. From u-values, photovoltaics, nanogel, prismatic glass to UV bonding and specific topics such as joining new and old structures - all taught by one of our in-house experts. There will be a section that looks forward into the future of architectural glazing, with a focus on technology and how this will impact design and detailing. If you are looking to give yourself the best possible chance to further your career and learn about the forefront of the structural glazing industry, book your spot today, or see our website for more information: https://lnkd.in/dSm3jzB #ArchitectureCPD #CPD #StructuralGlass
