Vantage Roof Structures & Curtain Walls

A breathtaking addition to any property, our glazed roof structures combine expanses of glass supported by decorative structural timber glulam. Ecovia glazed roof structures are available in all our standard timbers, for the freedom to select your chosen look and harmonise with your build’s windows and doors.

A curtain wall is a self-supporting vertical glazed structure. It allows for uniformly distributed oversized glass panels without the need for coupled frames and uneven sightlines.

Features

Hidden connection profiles

Clever jointing detail means you see only wood and none of the screws or fixings for a sleek, elegant structure.

Design and engineering

We have a full design and engineering service for our structures. However, we can work with your engineer if you already have a design or your project engineer is confident in specifying the timber structure and connection details.

Solar shading and low heat transmission (low G) glass

Good design considers overheating risks, especially where glass is incorporated into roof structures. Choose between low solar heat gain glass (also known as low G value glass) or external shading options to selectively block out light and reduce solar gain. We recommend heat soak testing all glass installed in roof structures to help protect against cracking.

Colours, finishes, woods

Pick from our standard range of colours and finishes for your glazed extension. Our state-of-the-art, four-stage treatment process guarantees that every timber surface is even, smooth, expressive, durable and easy to maintain. Bespoke RAL and NCS colours are available on request for both timber and aluminium. A colour-matching service is also available for painted and timber finishes. Some finishes may not be suitable for our roof systems; we can talk you through the options for your new roof.

It all starts with the timber. That’s why our Vantage series is the purest incarnation of the Ecovia ethos. These are robust windows and doors with our best thermal performance and can be had at our most accessible prices.
