DOORS , WINDOWS & FITTINGS
" Capable of effortlessly moving glass panels of up to 750kg , the system is perfectly suited to creating large architectural glazing features "
To achieve this , without compromising the building ’ s minimalist aesthetic , a glazing solution which offered minimal sightlines was required . Offering infinite views , Hi-Finity – an ultra-slim design from Reynaers Aluminium – was selected for the project . Capable of effortlessly moving glass panels of up to 750kg , the system is perfectly suited to creating large architectural glazing features , without the need for obtrusive framing .
At Island Rest , Hi-Finity is utilised to create a variety of features , from full-height windows which frame the spectacular views , through to large sliding doors which open up living spaces onto a courtyard and landscaped gardens .
James O ’ Callaghan of structural design practice , Eckersley O ’ Callaghan , said : “ There are many layers to Island Rest which enable the building to blend into and celebrate its beautiful environment . Glazing is a key part of this , enabling the surrounding views to be enjoyed from every room , or opened up to bring the outside in .
“ We selected Hi-Finity from Reynaers because it delivers everything we needed – from scalability and slim lines through to quality and functionality . The aluminium frames in particular really suit the architecture of this building , and their slender profile size further maximises the presence of the large expanses of glazing to achieve an elegant appearance .”
In modern homes , glazing plays an instrumental role – not just in terms of aesthetics and performance , but in the functionality which it provides for occupants .
With the ability to wrap itself around any building , be it a seaside structure , high-rise hotel , or urban home , Hi-Finity delivers ultimate design freedom , without compromising performance .
