Hazelbank Country Stores
IQ Projects designed and installed a shopfront glass extension to this brick-built shop building in an affluent village in surrey. The specification for this project was to complete an enticing entranceway design for the country store, create more space and update the overall appearance of the building which was originally built in the 1920s.
The old shop front was minimal and cold, the owners then called to replace it with a modern glass extension for the shop that was useable year-round. The new glass extension to the shop provides a central and level route from the street to the interior of the country store.
To support the sliding doors, a steel ‘goal post’ structure was installed surrounding the automated door. These steel supports were expertly hidden within the design to maintain a minimalistic finish, with the use of specialist aluminium pressings; the glass specification for this shopfront glass extension needed to be carefully considered based on the performance factors of the glazing.
