Case Study: Glass Safety Screens Feature in Combe, Oxfordshire
The Farmhouse, a charming abode with a storied history, was set for a holistic makeover. Engaged in a pursuit of renewing its architectural elegance while adding a contemporary touch, the project unveiled a special scope for CSW BALUSTRADES, an opportunity to exhibit our mastery in designing with a combination of tradition and innovation. We were contracted to create a glass staircase and balustrade system, coupling solid oak materials with the aesthetic clarity of toughened and laminated glass to deliver a blend of timeless appeal and modern sophistication.
PROJECT BRIEF
The client expressed a need for a robust, aesthetically delightful safety screen system that would also cater to the requirements of a household with pets. The project called for a triple panel installation using high-quality, durable materials. Our chosen materials were 12mm Toughened Glass complemented by 50mm diameter Solid Stainless Steel Stand-Off Glass fittings for reinforcement. These materials were meticulously selected to fulfil a multi-faceted purpose. Foremost was the safety aspect, given the presence of animals within the household, the structure had to be sturdy and resistant to damage. Second, the materials were expected to cultivate a sense of openness and modernity, harmonising with the interior aesthetic while maintaining a sleek, spacious aura.
Access Problems To Overcome
Dealing with glass balustrade systems, especially Toughened Glass, demands precision and expertise. Handling and installing such massive screens of 8 feet high without causing damage to the property or the material itself was a formidable challenge. Working with glass balustrade systems, and particularly with 10mm Toughened Glass, demands a high degree of precision and professional acumen. One of the significant challenges lay in managing and fitting these weighty safety screens, which towered at an imposing 8 feet. The complexity of the task was heightened due to the intricate shapes and angles that needed to be seamlessly aligned. Ensuring flawless fitting of the 12mm toughened glass to precisely match the required size posed another potential stumbling block. Given the uniquely bulky dimensions and particular requirements of this project, resorting to conventional installation methodologies was largely untenable.
Instinctive Solutions
The installation team applied several innovative strategies to deftly navigate the myriad challenges. To ably lift and carefully position the hefty glass panels, we deployed a team of three and suction devices. These tools ensured perfect accuracy even amidst the challenge of the screens' complex shapes and exacting angles. Bringing the structure together were 50mm diameter Solid Stainless Steel Stand-Off Glass Fittings that guaranteed firm and lasting hold. Resultantly, stability and safety were exceptionally addressed along with the aesthetic appeal.
How The Clients' Life Was Improved
The installed Glass Safety Screens significantly elevated the clients' lifestyle. It enhanced both safety and the aesthetic appeal of their space, offering an unrestricted view of the front entrance. Not only did this project add value to their property, but it also considerably upgraded their living experience. Additionally, it also reduced the maintenance workload, as the solid safety screen required minimal maintenance compared to traditional barriers.
Conclusion
This Glass Safety Screens project in Combe, Oxfordshire, stands as a testament to both innovative construction solutions and excellent craftsmanship. By masterfully incorporating the 12mm Toughened Glass and Solid Stainless Steel Stand-Off Glass Fittings, the team was able to deliver a product that exceeded the client's expectations, while overcoming various obstacles. The project has set a new benchmark in the arena of glass balustrade systems.
