Farmhouse in Warwickshire

Posted on 3rd January 2012

Alco Glass is pleased to have completed this modern glazed extension to a traditional style farmhouse in Warwickshire.

With the maximum glazed area having no top or bottom visible frames, one gains great enjoyment of the views over the open countryside.

Despite being in a very exposed location, superb weather tightness is achieved using the Sky-Frame system. Excellent thermal properties provide year round comfort.

Concealed ceiling and floor guide tracks to the Sky-Frame system ensure the floor is level inside to outside.

The solution includes a three track and two track system meeting at a structural column.

The Architect was Iain Johnson of Rigby & Rigby. To see further work by them go to www.rigbyandrigby.com
