Manufacturing Process for Bespoke Glazing
Many of our glazing solutions, such as the family of automated rooflight and the Invisio structural glazing system, were developed in-house and are manufactured by IQ.
Other systems such as the minimal windows® range, IQ do the design for these systems and the installation, but the profiles are ordered from Luxembourg and IQ’s installations teams will install the profile and glazing.
IQ are always listening to the feedback and needs of our clients to make improvements. This means that for solutions from external suppliers, IQ will usually be making some sort of alteration to help meet the project requirements.
This could be anywhere from using a different glass spec, to a new handle for increased security or a bespoke drainage channel for projects in locations with high rain fall.
