Suitable to link structures, commonly used in barn conversions and oast houses, where historic interest and conservation is of concern.

Description

Frameless glass links are used to link two buildings together in a modern yet unobtrusive way. Commonly used in barn conversions and oast houses, where historic interest and conservation is of concern, a glass link uses structural glass to create a habitable passage between new and old without detracting from the original intent of the building.

  • Minimal appearance.
