Case Study: Barn Conversion Glazing Project – Camel Glass

Overview

Camel Glass was commissioned to deliver a full glazing package for a large-scale barn conversion. The brief required premium, energy-efficient products that would integrate seamlessly with the character of the existing structure while meeting modern standards for insulation, security, and visual appeal.

Objectives

• Enhance thermal performance with high-spec triple glazing

• Maintain the architectural integrity of the property

• Deliver a cohesive design finish across various glazing systems

• Manage the supply and installation in line with construction timelines

Key Challenges

• Structural Complexity: The conversion involved integrating large openings into masonry walls. Custom survey and adjustment protocols were applied to ensure accurate fitting without compromising structural integrity

• Design Coordination: Multiple product systems (Rationel and Schüco) required precise planning to achieve consistent finishes across doors, windows, and sliders. Coordination with other trades was essential for frame alignment and reveal preparation.

• Bespoke Joinery Element: The made-to-measure timber door required a flexible, consultative approach. Camel Glass managed this by conducting a detailed site visit and producing a bespoke solution tailored to both the building’s aesthetic and the client’s functional needs.

• Logistical Management: The breadth of product types necessitated careful phased delivery and installation scheduling to avoid site congestion and ensure timely handover.

Outcome

Camel Glass successfully delivered and installed all components on time and to the highest standards. The finished result demonstrates a flawless integration of modern glazing solutions into a traditional structure, offering lasting durability, improved energy efficiency, and refined visual appeal.
