Which method should I use to create the Glasshouse look?

The choice is yours - there are 2 options shown in the scenarios below which will help you decide! 

Option 1: Creating Glasshouse look with Frame

Renders above are shown in the Platinum 120 system. This design concept can be used in all Platinum & Definium systems.

Creating the glasshouse look with frame provides a substantial multi-dimensional feel with an endless range of spacing between horizontal transoms and vertical mullions.

This concept can be achieved quickly and easily by using the drillings for fast and accurate installation.

 

The finished result: a consistent, bold and clean look

 

 

Option 2: Creating Glasshouse look with Flat Bar

Renders above are shown in the Platinum 120 system. This design concept can be used in all Platinum & Definium systems.

Creating the glasshouse look with flat bar creates a flexible minimal feel. This concept can be achieved quickly and easily by using high bond double-sided tape or silicone on the flat bar and adhering to glass.

Criterion stocks a range of flat bars to match the Platinum 35mm reveal and the Definium 50mm reveal.

The finished result: a minimalist, crisp, streamlined finish

 

 

Which option do you prefer? The bold frame option or the minimalistic flat bar option?
