Oriel Windows

Windows boxes have long been used in residential architecture to provide bright, light filled places for occupants to sit and relax. Oriel Windows are modern structural glass bay windows, achieving a frameless pop out glass box. These protruding windows can be used as either a large and multi-dimensional surface for light ingress, or as a bright and comfortable place to sit.

By using expertise in frameless structural glazing and knowledge of high specification structural glass design, oriel windows can be designed to be frameless at large sizes. Where the panels of glass meet on a corner, no framings are needed. Instead, the structural glass units can be connected together using structural silicone creating a slim weather proof seal with a neat internal and external appearance.

With the use of strengthening interlayers within the vertical glass components, no supporting steel work is required within the window boxes; instead the vertical and horizontal glass panels can be sealed together with structural silicone with the roof load being taken by the glass itself.
