A bespoke glass manifestation provides an individual touch that makes all difference to your glass installation.
Glass manifestations are necessary to prevent people inadvertently walking into your new glass installation. There are specific height, size and location requirements to meet Building Regulations.
Manifestations can also add a beautiful finishing touch to your project, reflecting the style, nature and purpose of your installation.
We offer a bespoke glass manifestation option, with designs created to meet the individual nature of your project.
• At Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Square the glass manifestation reflects the style of the Arts and Craft movement, an important aspect of this prominent church. The manifestation echoes a motif in the original metal screen at the rear of the nave.
• The glass manifestation designed by Ion Glass for St Lawrence Jewry features the City of London coat of arms, a fitting entrance for this prestigious church in the heart of the City.
• St Mary's at Kippington has a detailed knotted cross applied as a glass manifestation, making a striking statement on a beautiful, over-height glass entrance door.
• The complex glass manifestation at St John the Evangelist Church in North London features a dramatic eagle with widespread wings, installed across the double doors.
• Lainston House Hotel installed individual glass screens to enclose a loggia, with a series of arched glass panels and a secure entrance door. A detailed glass manifestation was created in a floral design to harmonise with the beautiful gardens at the hotel, ensuring the glass meets safety regulations.
As an alternative, the bespoke glass doors at St Mary's Church in Balcombe feature stylish, custom built handles. Individually laser cut in brushed stainless steel and designed in the form of a cross, the size of the handles avoids the need for additional safety manifestations on the doors themselves.
The expert team at Ion Glass will provide technical and design advice, ensuring your glass manifestation meets both style and statutory requirements appropriate for your glass installation.
