With a strong in house design resource, OAG have created some very notable glass features, from bespoke systems to ‘off the shelf’ solutions. Combining both engineering and 3D AutoCAD design software, our project portfolio fully demonstrates our capabilities in this area

Glass Floors
The areas where glass floors are being incorporated are increasing massively, as the demand for larger floor space within office or shopping centres puts pressure to bring light further into building spaces. Glass floors can achieve this and specifications that can take crowd UDL loadings have made glass an ideal option. Glass floors with lighting beneath can also create an eye catching feature. |

Glass Stairs
Any design using glass in staircase construction adds value to any property. Whether your requirement is residential or commercial, OAG can provide designs to ensure the feature staircase adds the ‘wow’ factor to your projects. |

Glass Ceilings
With the requirements of CDM for ease of replacement, cleaning and safety, OAG have created a glass ceiling system allowing maintenance and replacement using similar techniques as standard suspended ceilings. You can now create stunning lighting effects or highlight specific areas within a building by incorporating a glass ceiling design with lighting which can help the partially sighted under new DDI proposals.

Glass Canopies
Glass entrance canopies add to the modern appearance of building entrances and can help make old buildings entrances appear new and modern. However, not forgetting the purpose of a canopy, we have designed integral drainage and decorative techniques to maintain the crisp glass appeal of such a structure. OAG also have the manufacturing resource to create large street canopy structures such as shopping areas and transport interchanges. |

Glass Enclosures
Entrances now require thermal insulation and providing a glass entrance lobby allows designers to maintain a visually clear space for people to enter buildings maintaining good security features whilst providing a stylish entrance. Other types of glass enclosures offer the ‘al fresco’ feeling by having glass roofs and walls which provide usable space in atria areas without detracting from the open plan design. OAG can provide such structures whether they are internal or open air locations. |

Glass Lift Enclosures
When designing open plan atria, and incorporating lifts, safety of those using these areas is paramount. Lift shafts have to be completely enclosed at any location where the public can access them and OAG have designed many such enclosures from basement to multiple floor levels. Taking into account the building code requirements and providing fail-safe glass is critical in our designs whilst still allowing visual inspection of the lift mechanism and uninterrupted views from the lift car. |
