Oak framed face-mounted glazing system

Our face-mounted glazing system is a refined, modern solution designed specifically for oak framed structures, allowing for expansive glass panels without compromising the beauty or integrity of the oak frame.

This system involves mounting double- or triple-glazed units directly onto the outside face of the oak frame. By doing so, the glazing sits proud of the structural timbers, allowing the oak to remain fully visible from the interior—showcasing the craftsmanship and character of the frame without interruption, this then mirrored with a dry oak cover board on the outside.

The face-mounted system offers several key advantages:

  • Uninterrupted Views: Slimline glass joints and minimal framework maximise sightlines and natural light.
  • Natural Movement Tolerance: The design accommodates the natural seasonal movement and settling of green oak, reducing stress on the glass and maintaining long-term performance.
  • Contemporary Finish: Clean lines and a flush external appearance deliver a sleek, modern aesthetic while maintaining the warmth and character of traditional oak construction.
  • Weatherproof & Durable: High-quality seals and specialist fixings ensure exceptional weather resistance, thermal efficiency, and long-lasting performance.

Ideal for fully glazed gable ends, garden rooms, or any feature wall, the face-mounted glazing system is a popular choice for homeowners looking to merge cutting-edge glazing technology with traditional oak framing.
