Detail Library – New Details April 2025
House Extensions BLOG

On the Detail Library, this month we are delighted to share another set of house extension details featuring the amazing glazing systems from Fluid Glass. Fluid Glass provide a wide variety of structural glazing systems, windows and doors. 

These details focus on quite a challenging part of a new house extension design – structural glazing. Often a key aspect of an extension to get light into the space, the structural glazing can be the stand out feature of the design. 

This set includes a range of solutions to structural glazing windows, skylights to side returns and lean to extensions and sliding doors. The full set consists of:

  • Structural Glazing in Extension Wall
  • Structural Glazing Box Window in Extension Wall
  • Structural Glazing Skylight in Extension Parapet
  • Structural Glazing Skylight in Extension Side Return
  • Structural Glazing Skylight to Side Return New Extension Walls
  • Triple Sliding Door in Extension Wall

We hope you find them useful. We have really enjoyed putting them together and love the Fluid Glass range – be sure to check them out.
