A new angle on panoramic views

BOHLE has supported IGU manufacturer The Glass Man in manufacturing the Infinity Window, a unit with a frameless corner without pillars or supports to interrupt a panoramic view.
Alex Simpson, Managing Director and owner of The Glass Man, said: “The concept was simple – develop a glazing unit that turns a corner to maximize the view outside. It was doing it that was the hard part.
“We worked very closely with Bohle to identify the right UV bonding solution. We made a number of trips across to Haan in Germany to work with their technical team to identify the right bonding solution for what we were trying to achieve.
“It’s more expensive than a standard IGU but as a percentage of a larger high-end installation it’s negligible and in defining a room, or even the architectural style of a property, it delivers a huge number of benefits to the end-user.”
The Infinity IGU is suitable for use with timber, aluminium, composites and PVC-U frames, in either double or triple-glazed, argon-filled options. These are manufactured from 8mm toughened external glass and 6mm Pilkington K toughened internally.
