The majority of glazing provided for Shoreline is from the IQ brand of Sieger. From Sieger bi-folding doors to various casement systems, the team at IQ collated the ideal package to provide aesthetic looks, great performance and durability.

Usually, durability isn’t a large concern for glazing systems seen as they are built to last from the get-go. 

However, for projects that are exposed to saltwater and high salt levels in the air, it is imperative that some form of extra protection is applied to the glazing and the frames.

For Shoreline, the IQ team ensured that all systems had marine grade coatings which protect the framework from rusting due to the high salt levels.

As well as the marine grade finishings for the glazing, the home had a large focus on building with sustainable materials that pay homage to the rural materials around the island of Guernsey. 

The entrance of the home features slate bricks which are typical for homes on the channel islands, this has been combined with timber to ensure that the home didn’t have an ultra-modern appearance which would have led to the house sticking out from the neighbouring homes.
