Specially designed glass boxes
Glass Box extensions, also known as Frameless Conservatories, are manufactured using structural glass units held together by glass beams and fins. With glass box extensions, you won’t see any metal supports, only a clear extension space without frames. The entire construction is just glass because only strong pieces of structural glass without frames and laminated glass beams and fins are used.
For high performing space, Pelle Glazing’s technical glass solutions can be applied within these frameless glass boxes. A singular heat source like heated glass can be used for the extension space. Effective control against sun rays can be provided with a solar control coating. Low maintenance coatings reduce the cost of maintenance and cleaning of these glass structures without frames.
Frameless glass boxes
Depending on the requirement, frameless glass boxes can serve as a glass extension and a modern conservatory. With the use of double glazed or triple glazed units, these completely glazed structures can retain its warmth with a thermal performance in compliance with Building Regulations for extension spaces.
Glass Box Extensions are compatible with any number of access openings ranging from our bi-fold door sets to slim framed sliding door systems and more.
Recent times have seen the glass box progress from single to a potent double glazing, few metal works, and the introduction of active oversized sliding doors.
In London, the structural glass conservatory is a trending glazed version in homes. Why? With a combination of our sunscreen protection, contemporary sliding doors, and heated glass, we can design a value-oriented space for you in your building.
Using frameless glass box extensions and conservatories, your home can be extended to accommodate a fresh conservatory with sufficient light and space. You also get to enjoy your garden from season to season.

How glass box extensions are made
Glass box extensions are tailor-made! There’s room for most sizes for glazing panels integrated into these extensions.
A plethora of supporting methods can be added to these customised glass boxes. This includes glass beams plus fins or steel support sections. Based on your requirement, you can also include a plethora of glass solutions, technical glass solutions and shapes
Integrated doors
A lot of glass extensions will not accommodate some kind of opening door within the structural glass box. From our collection of door system, including aluminium, timber, or steel, these integrated glass doors can be selected.
Some times, a minimal frame door is desired. This door type keeps the minimal glass design produced from the structural glass used as the fixed wall and glass roof.
See some top choices for doors integrated into a glass box extension:
- Mondrian External Doors – used in minimal steel frame
- Minimal windows sliding doors – used in minimal aluminium frame
Note that you can choose any door you want integrated into the structural glass fitting.
Glass extensions for commercial architecture
Not only can you integrate glass box extension into a smaller building, it’s applicable in larger commercial facilities as well—the aim is to provide additional space.
For commercial buildings, there’s an infinite design possibility for glass box extension since you can incorporate nearly all the glazing elements to produce the ideal extension that matches any facility.
Bitfolding doors, glass roofs, frameless roofs, and sliding glass doors can be utilised to bring in natural light into the new space effectively. Our slim framing or frameless glazed elements can give off pleasant views of the environment. Kindly contact us at Pelle Glazing for more details.
