Sometimes, a job is really simple, beautiful, and a real pleasure to work on. This is one of those. A cornish engine house, being lovingly converted into a cornish human house. We supplied and installed a simple rooflight for this one. Communication with the client and builder was clear and concise, and it allowed us to order from drawings, with no survey, and it all went in perfectly.

A few of shots of a glass extension we competed recently. A decent sized roof panel, approx 4.2 x 1.2m, with a full-height side panel meeting it on one end, ith a glass-to-glass joint. @sightline_aluminium_glazing provided some great, minimally framed sliding doors for the front elevation.

Went to get some bread this morning, and fancied a pastry, then realised they only had Wasp & Almond flavour left, which I've never really got on with.

Well, well, well. So I dropped a pencil in a well that I was templating for a glass cover, and it was a nice pencil (red, pointy etc), so I didn't want to leave it there. Luckily the client had a children's rockpool net, a length of bamboo, some electrical tape, and a handy light, which made light work...of the retrieval process. All's well that ends well.

A few shots from the end of last week. We were replacing a pretty large DGU for Rainbow Nursery @themansiontotnes. The inner leaf of the righthand side panel had shattered, so we had to survey, source, and install a replacement. The original unit manufacturer is no longer trading, so it was a tricky one to source. The replacement wasn't straightforward (as is often the case) and required some delicate manoeuvres with the #winlet glazing robot we were using. All went well in the end.

A few insulated, walk-on glass floor panels, being hoiked (love that word), into position for some new-builds in Porth Towan. Si did manage to snag a few waves after a long day on site, which was a bonus. It's hard to work with that view in front of you!

This is for those who remember Magic Eye pictures from the early 90s. If you stare long enough at the mural, you'll see a Winlet Glazing Robot appear.

A few more shots of a beauty of a build by @wmconstructionswltd_. It's looking so good. We provided a frameless balustrade to a couple of terrace areas, and an adjoining staircase. The lower terrace has an interesting powder-coated aluminium pressing to the inside (most visible in the last image), negating the step created by the parapet wall, meaning the glass could stay at 1100mm above the floor level. Really pleased with how it all turned out.

A few more substantial rooflights were lifted in today. We're making a habit of these monsters. This one was around 3 x 3m and weighed around 700kg!

This is a curved canopy panel we installed this week in North Devon. It was fitted to the client's steel structure, which consisted of a couple of RHS, poking 600mm out of the wall. We had to devise a nice method of attaching the glass to these. We ended up designing some 50mm diameter, angled fittings, to suit the curvature of the glass, and clamp it in place. It worked really well, and made the install very simple. The glass was supplied by @specialistglassproducts, and the fittings produced by the the team @balustrade_components

Another decent size rooflight is in, safe, and sound. This one is approx 4 x 1.5m, sitting in a bespoke aluminium frame. The building has some really nice historic features, and these are now complemented by the new extension, with its zinc roof, and this large expanse of glazing. We also supplied and installed a few opening @vario.by.velux rooflights to provide some ventilation to the new space.

Not glass related, just a nice pic from a sunny Sunday. Met this little beasty outside the front door earlier, and it sat happily for a moment to have its picture taken.

A few pics kindly passed on by @rudsawersarchitects, from their project developing the new 6th Form Centre @kingstaunton. We were involved with the design, supply, and installation of a structural glass box, projecting out of the 6th Form common room, and also a large @lonsdaleroofglazing rooflight, above the main atrium, flooding the area with light. It was a great project to work on, and the end result is fantastic.

Shiny, shiny, shiny balustrades of stainless. Sorry, final pics from this one. Fancied adding a few detail shots, just because it's sooooooo shiny! This system goes together really well, and is also very good value.

So here are the pics of the finished balustrade. A surprising amount involved in this one, given the requirement for the galvanised frame to sit on the roof felt, effectively making the balustrade 'float', independent from the main building. It worked really well and looks great. The galvanised frame squares off the felted roof and gives it a crisp edge, reflecting other galvanised finishes, like the adjacent railings. The posts and rail are in mirror polished, 316 (marine grade) stainless-steel due to the proximity to the sea.

A few images from the last two days. This is an installation of a 'floating' galvanised steel sub frame, with a mirror-polished, stainless-steel, post-and-rail balustrade (that's a lot of hyphens...). We needed to sit a frame on top of the client's finished, felt roof, to avoid puncturing the surface. It took a bit of structual design assistance from @pcaconsulting to design the base frame to take the loadings of the balustrade. The system has 10mm, toughened-glass infills. All worked really well. Pictures of the finished project to follow.

A @lonsdaleroofglazing TG50 rooflight, down in Rock, Cornwall. A simple and effective system, allowing panels up to 1m wide, and 4m long. The DGU are specified to suit the individual project.

Fairly self-explanatory, but for those wondering, this is a very heavy glass rooflight, being lifted by a big crane.
