Face glazing is a system that’s designed to work with your oak frame. The process involves securing double glazed units to the outside of the timber via a system that offers flexibility in movement while maintaining an airtight, sustainable security blanket for your build.
Crafted using green oak that ages with the seasons, timber continuously moves and dries out, producing a structurally stronger frame over time. Due to this, it’s extremely important that glazed units can adapt to such changing pressures from the oak to avoid any risk of damage.
The most traditional method of glazing oak frames involves mounting glass units in between two beads that are fixed to the posts and studs of the frame. Once positioned, weatherproofing is achieved through the regular application of sealants which are relied on to provide minimal movement within the frame. Although this method is cheap in the short-term, it requires long-term upkeep to prevent leakages and damage to the oak frame itself. It also reduces the amount of oak visible from the inside. Which begs the question: why pay for an oak frame in the first place?
Rest assured that with our face glazing, every inch of your dream oak frame will be visible.
