A LIGHT TOUCH FOR STAIRS IN GLASS
With each glass tread finished in sand-blasted glass to create a non-slip surface and illuminated with LED lights for style and safety Ion Glass created a striking staircase , descending to an outside terrace in a villa on the Cote D ’ Azur . The client , who owns several properties in stunning locations around the world , was delighted !
‘ Distance is not an issue for us ,’ added Peter , ‘ We make a comprehensive initial survey and site assessment to ensure the glass fits perfectly when it arrives at your home . Wherever you are , we understand our clients want minimal disruption when the glass is installed .’
SHOWERS , SPAS AND SAUNAS
Glass is the obvious choice for showers but don ’ t limit yourself when it comes to designing your leisure area . Think over-sized mirrors , reflecting your space and maximising the light or consider studio-style walls of bespoke mirrored glass .
" Deceptively simple , a frameless glass installation is sleek , contemporary and minimal , whilst meeting every criteria for strength and structural integrity ."
DOORS , WINDOWS & FITTINGS
Separate different areas of your leisure environment with floor to ceiling glass screens fitted with fully frameless doors and discreet fittings for optimum style and minimal visual impact . Introducing a glass wall to your sauna will change the vibe of the space to one that is more open and inclusive whilst efficiently retaining heat .
Take glass one step further and use it in swimming pools for the ultimate in luxurious leisure . ‘ Glass panels around your pool make for a unique swimming experience ,’ says Peter Hazeldean . ‘ We can install full depth panels so you can swim underwater with full vision , especially rewarding if you have a pool with a view !’
A GLASS WELCOME
A glass porch can be taken to design extremes , limited only by your imagination ! The owner of this country home barn conversion wanted a statement entrance created entirely from glass , in a break from the more traditional ‘ oak and glass ’ porch construction of many heritage updates .
He stated , ‘ I wanted the light and airy feel that only glass can provide , using glass throughout the conversion , including frameless balustrades to the mezzanine floor and an internal bridge . We approached a number of suppliers but Ion
Glass was the only company who were confident they could achieve the result I was hoping for , especially with regard to the porch .’
Welcoming guests to this stunning country property has taken on a new dimension !
Ion Glass have an experienced team of experts who will be delighted to discuss how they can transform your home with structural glass . Consider glass linkways , internal and external balustrades , rooflights , floor panels or glass bridges .
Every Ion Glass project is as individual as their clients .
