12 Amazing Glazing Ideas for Your Home

Glazing has become the go-to design element for self builders and renovators seeking a light, airy and modern interior. Offering the chance to open up rooms, create a flowing layout and inject some curb appeal, glass provides a wealth of possibilities.

If you’re looking to revamp your existing property, or you’re building from the ground up, then selecting the right glazing should be high on your list of priorities.

With the ability to completely transform your interior, glass comes in all shapes, styles and sizes, offering you plenty of choices for your scheme – whether you want to go full out contemporary, or stick with tradition.

From ever-popular sliding doors, to cleverly incorporated rooflights, we break down 12 of the best glazing ideas out there, to help inspire your design. No matter what your tastes and budget, there’s a glass element that’s right for you!

Wow-factor architectural glazing

Architectural glazing is a great option for those wanting to create a sleek, bright and modern property with added wow factor

Architectural glazing is a core element of this project. Two storey glass walls, supplied by Cantifix, reach from the ground floor up to the eaves of the roof of the striking property, with sliding doors opening the rooms onto a patio.

Gorgeous glazed gables

Glazed gable ends are a fantastic way to maximise solar gains throughout the day, as well as framing any potential views

Highlight a vaulted ceiling by installing glazing into the apex of a gable wall. In this new self build property by Welsh Oak Frame, the glass in this design element helps to set off the characterful allure of the structure, as well as provide breathtaking views of the rural surroundings.

Cool clerestory windows

If you’re short on room, clerestory windows are a fantastic choice, allowing you to glaze otherwise redundant wall space

Clerestory windows are an ideal solution for getting daylight into a property without having to worry about being overlooked. In this project by Giles Pike Architects, the glazing is positioned on a wall adjoining a pavement, so the design stops passers-by from looking in. A large overhead rooflight and floor-to-ceiling glass panel at the front of the house help to further maximise natural illumination in the house.

Frameless glazed panels

Glass doesn’t just have to be there to provide light, aeration or vistas. If you’re clever with your glazing, you can create a real focal point in a room, particularly in historic abodes

Glass can be a fantastic medium for showing off period details in a heritage structure. Here, the original window might have compromised the home’s thermal efficiency, but a secondary glazed panel by Kloeber means the property’s history is still integrated.
