An innovative addition to the IDSystems product range over the past few years, up and over windows are a combination of window and glass roof, framelessly jointed to maximise both the views out and the amount of light that is let in.
As the name suggests, the window extends up and over as an angled glass roof and have become increasingly popular design choice for modern residential architecture, blending seamless aesthetics with practical functionality. By eliminating bulky frames, these installations create uninterrupted expanses of glass that maximize natural light and provide a clear, open view of the outdoors. The result is a sleek, contemporary finish that enhances both the appearance and the atmosphere of a space.
As an alternative to structural glass roofs or Velux style window, up and over windows are bespoke made to your requirements – from single, slot style windows to much larger expanses of glass used to create lean-to style glass boxes, up and over windows offer a hugely versatile range of design options. They can be designed to incorporate opening sashes below or integrated within a much larger glass roof to include opening vents. One of the key advantages of combining frameless glass windows with a glass roof is the sense of openness they generate. Natural light floods into the interior from multiple angles throughout the day, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day and creating a bright, uplifting environment.
Aesthetically, frameless glass combinations offer timeless appeal. Their clean, uninterrupted lines suit both ultra-modern architecture and extensions to more traditional properties, where they introduce a striking contrast. Whether used in kitchens, living areas, or even garden rooms, they transform interiors into light-filled, stylish spaces. They can even be utilised for commercial applications such as restaurants, showrooms, or offices to create a welcoming, high-end feel. Ultimately, frameless glass window and roof designs combine beauty, performance, and innovation, redefining how spaces connect with light and landscape.
