Our Process
GlasSpace and its team work hard to make the process of adding a new bespoke glass extension to your home or commercial building as easy as possible. Working with your designer, Architect or builder there is a lot involved. But as experts in this field and will work with you to make the process from design to completion as smooth as possible.
Our approach is very flexible, we will be involved as much or as little as you like in your project. Our aim is the same as yours; to design and install a bespoke structure that looks amazing, complements your existing property
and can be used exactly the way you want to use it – and to do all this as efficiently as possible, with the minimum of fuss and the highest of standards.

The Design Consultation
At glasspace we encourage you to take advantage of our complimentary design consultation with an advisor who will have the expertise and knowledge to assist you with a structure that is right for you.
Taking your brief and ideas we can design for you. If you have an Architect or designer, we will collaborate to ensure your new bespoke glass structure is the best it can be.
GlasSpace’s structures are unique and not made up of standard parts so designers have the freedom to express your idea.
Survey
Laser scanners give a exact indoor or out door measurement in three dimensions “At your fingertips”
FARO®‘s latest ultra-portable FocusS Laser Scanner series enable you to capture fast, straightforward and accurate measurements of complex objects and buildings. The intuitive touchscreen of the FocusS models has been increased in size and clarity to deliver an extraordinary user experience. A built-in 8 mega-pixel, HDR-camera captures detailed imagery easily while providing a natural colour overlay to the scan data in extreme lighting conditions. Familiar traits such as light weight, small size and a 4.5-hour battery runtime per charge makes the FocusS Laser Scanner truly mobile for fast, secure and reliable scanning.
Concept Design Approval Presentation
With something as unusual, innovative and above-the-ordinary as an Apropos bespoke structure, an architect’s plan can demand a lot of your imagination. That’s why we prefer to create our structures in virtual reality.
Using the latest 3-dimensional solid modelling and CAD systems, we produce computer-generated images that help our designers and clients see and compare ideas and variations in stunning reality and detail, whilst at the same time ensuring the optimum specification.
Design and Manufacture Installation
Once the GAD has been approved, detailed manufacturing drawings will be produced from which the components of your new bespoke structure will be made. The manufacturing drawings specify the glass Low e /solar protection required as well as your bespoke metal work.
All GlasSpace structures are tailor made to your chosen design, and once the raw materials the aluminium frames will be custom extruded, polyester powder coated in your chosen colour and then carefully wrapped ready for delivery. In some cases we will trial build part or all of your structure at our facility. We do this when there are complicated shapes or design features involved to ensure that everything fits together properly and will not cause any problems for the installation team.
The final stage of the process is the delivery and installation of your new Apropos bespoke structure. We need to be sure that we deliver your bespoke structure and schedule the installation team at just the right time, hence our customer services team keeping in regular contact with you throughout the process. This regular contact allows us to schedule the manufacture and installation to be ready once building work at the site is complete, and to tweak those schedules should anything unforeseen occur during building work.
Installation
Your bespoke structure will be installed by our own team of highly skilled fitters / engineers, who will erect it quickly and efficiently with a very high standard of workmanship.
