One of GLRE Rooflights' flagship projects took us to Clerkenwell, London. The client's brief to GLRE Rooflights was to create access onto their roof terrace via a spiral staircase from the master bedroom on the 4th floor of the building. It was evident from the start that the client wanted to create a showpiece within their stunning London townhouse. Our in-house design team were eager to make this a reality and showcase the brand new GLRE Rooflights Expanse Door Product.
Clerkenwell is known for being one of London's trendiest areas where creative workspaces and smart flats fill old industrial disused warehouses and factories. Filled with stylish eateries, cosy gastropubs, sleek bars, hip cafes, and indie boutiques, Clerkenwell is the perfect setting for one of GLRE Rooflights' bespoke glazing showpieces, in this case the "Expanse Door." Not only does the finished access rooflight look incredible, but it adds significant value to the multi-story townhouse.
The unprecedented views from the property's terrace showcase London's skyline in all its glory, with The Shard and Gherkin just a stone's throw away. This roof terrace makes a perfect place to relax in the sun or under the night sky. The rooflight operates via a 240V twin ram hydraulic system for smooth and efficient opening and closing. It's built with a clever manual override system to enable operation in case of a power cut. It also features hydraulic fail-safes to prevent the rooflight from ever closing by error, ensuring safe operation throughout its lifecycle.

"I couldn't be happier with the product provided by GLRE Rooflights. The Infinity Door offsets the property from all others in the area. Thanks to GLRE Rooflights and the team for transforming the property" - Ian Hay Architecture
