Bespoke Glass Screens at St Dionis
Holy Trinity Church, Wantage
- At St Michael’s Church in Lewes Ion created a frameless glass entrance lobby. The glass was accurately measured and fitted to accommodate not just the intricate carved stone corbels but also the subtle changes in level to the floors.
- The frameless glass balustrade at St Lawrence’s Church at Bourton on the Water is channel set for a sleek, minimal appearance. The glass closely follows the contours of the corbels for a smooth, contemporary finish.
- St Dionis Church in Parsons Green commissioned switchable glass panels to infill the arches of the narthex, providing a private meeting space. Precise measurements around the corbels and our technical expertise achieved unprecedented results in switchable glass.
