ION Glass - How to Choose a Heritage Glass Specialist
And ensure your church or heritage structural glass project meets ALL the necessary criteria
What are the key points to establish when choosing a structural glass specialist for a heritage or ecclesiastical building?
Vision and sensitivity
To fully understand the needs of the people as well as the building. Thoughtfully prepared designs, bespoke glass manifestations, individually commissioned fixtures and fittings or the need for privacy glass or automatic doors
Technical Design Skills
You need to engage a company who can take your idea from concept to reality. The idea has to go from notepad to detailed CAD drawings, taking into account all the nuances of your individual building.
Accurate Surveying
Surveying and measuring ancient buildings to ensure your glass fits perfectly requires a high level of skill and the benefit of computer aided equipment. Every curve of your corbels needs to be recorded.
Structural engineering
The knowledge and ability to ensure the glass meets all structural requirements and building regulations whilst also meeting (and ideally exceeding) the aesthetic considerations
Experienced installation teams
It's so important that any company engaged in heritage or ecclesiastical building work is experienced in this field. Working in sensitive environments is very different to working on a commercial building site!
