Glazing Applications

London Glazing to Listed Buildings - Specialist Commercial Glazing by IQ Projects

London’s listed buildings stand as landmarks of architectural history, and we're well known for London glazing to listed buildings. Adapting them with modern glazing takes precision, technical skill, and logistical control. At IQ Projects, we deliver specialist solutions for these high-profile commercial sites. Architects rely on us to enhance historic structures with advanced glass systems. Here’s proof!

Somerset House – History Meets Modern Precision

Somerset House, a Grade I listed building, required London glazing to listed buildings that compliments this status. We installed structural glass floors to expose the Tudor foundations. Architects needed clear sightlines; our slip-resistant ceramic fritting ensures safety without obstruction. It’s a calculated fix.

The entrance features our frameless glass balustrades with hidden fixings. They align with the building’s lines, without compromising on aesthetics. Structural glass infills in the light wells reduce noise and let daylight flood in. This earned a “Highly Commended” in the RICS Building Conservation Awards and an “Excellent” BREEAM rating. Our work proves heritage sites can meet modern efficiency standards.

Lea Bridge Library – Modern Glass, Historic Roots

Lea Bridge Library, a Grade II listed Edwardian structure, needed a contemporary glass extension. Site access was tight, with mature trees in play. We partnered with Studio Weave to fit structural glass walls and bespoke minimal sliding doors. These integrate with timber frames, maintaining a cohesive design language.

The glass-dominant façade required considered logistics for London glazing to listed buildings. Our team managed delivery and installation around the constraints, minimising disruption. The extension now channels daylight through sustainable timber and glass, elevating the library’s function and form for community use. 

BAFTA – Upgrading a Piccadilly Classic

BAFTA’s Grade II listed headquarters in Piccadilly gained a new top floor. Central London’s packed streets and strict timelines would have been a significant challenge for less experienced firms. We supplied slim-framed sliding doors for the Richard Attenborough Rooms. Their 21mm sightlines frame expansive, uninterrupted Piccadilly Circus views, creating a real impression on guests.

Raising the Victorian rooflights demanded exact coordination with architects, for this kind of London glazing to listed buildings. Our solar control glazing cuts cooling needs while maximising daylight. The result enhances outdoor access, and there is great performance in terms of insultation. 

Logistical Mastery in Complex Sites

Somerset House, Lea Bridge Library, BAFTA; all listed, all constrained by location. Central London’s tight spaces and regulations require sharp planning. With a wealth of experience in this tricky domain, our logistics ensure precise delivery and installation, every time. Architects get glazing that fits their vision, and the building’s demands.
